Music god and innovator.  Also a very smart guy. It's refreshing to hear a professional musician sound intelligent and not idiotic.

I shook hands with Tony Levin :)

[hoagie075]

I met Tony at the NAMM show Ernie Ball stage. I went to shake his hand and he said, "wait a minute", Tony came off the stage and met me. A year or two later at the Ampeg booth he actually recognized and said hi to me. I was a bit speechless at the time. I first remember him with Paul Simon, Later on Double Fantasy and Three of a Perfect Pair Live in Japan, which is one of the best live concerts EVER. What an Artist, What a Soul !!
