  One of the greats.

  Indeed. And absolutely! 

  
  

  He’s old enough to be my mum, which is odd.

  Fabulous bassist and Chapman Stick player.
  
  Love his work with King Crimson (check out Elephant Talk) and Peter Gabriel (how about Sledgehammer)

  TLev is, by his own admission, a pretty poor Chapman Stickist. Most of the time, he only plays its bass register strings. Since he is the best-known player of the instrument, this is the first impression that the general public forms of its capabilities.
  
  The majority of "proper" Chapman Stick playing sounds like cheesy lounge Jazz performed on a Clavinet.

  Three of the current incarnation of King Crimson are in their mid Seventies.
  
  Most of the others are over sixty.
  
  Gavin Harrison is the youngest at fifty eight. 
  
  Bill Rieflin will forever be fifty nine.

  You say, atom bomb. I say, tin of corned beef.
