Tony Levin (who played for the last three King Crimson albums and the last
few Gabriel albums) is an avid Stick user to be sure.  I guess I'm not
really answering your question but rather asking you another one.  Could
you please (as a Stick player) offer a summary of what the Stick is all
about. (Somewhere in the mists of my closet I have literature on it, but it
didn't go into enough detail.)  I'm curious, because as a keyboard player
who barely plays any guitar at all, I had thought about picking up the Stick
(pun intended).  I'd heard it was kind of a good stringed instrument for
a keyboard player to pick up.  Thanks in advance.
