First of all, Tony is an amazing bassist and musician. But Julia, she gives the interview a feeling that she is not only studied, but a genuine fan. She let him speak., didn't cut him off, and really made Tony comfortable speaking at length about the music.

Their natural kindness, modesty, the positive vibes, the fun and the passion for what they do to me is just stunning. No boasting, no hollow bla bla bla, not the slightest sign of resentment. Tony seems to have found some miraculous substance which keeps him young forever and Julia’s voice, her smile, and her attitude always light up the day. Thank you so much for sharing your positivity!

What struck me most was just how authentic, informed, and pleasingly enthusiastic Julia was speaking to one of her bass heroes. Tony was impressed, too, clearly, by her awareness and the depth of her questions. Also, noteworthy, I think, is Tony's passion for music and for the projects he's involved in, even after all of these years. So many musicians and entertainers seem burned out and cynical by the time they've entered their golden years, assuming they're still performing, but TL still has that spark. It was an inspiring dialogue to listen to. Thanks for posting.

Wow. Great interview Julia! I grew up in California in the 80’s and fell in with Tony’s work with Peter Gabriel. Don’t Give Up always made my heart swell (at age 16). My Uncle Dean introduced to Bass guitar around 86 and I immediately fell into U2 and Rush with Tony’s skill being an unreachable dream. I stopped playing for more than 20 years but am back in the Saddle and working with three great musicians and friends in the Würzburg area. All original music and I’ve written more than 40 pieces in the last year. The AEther Pulse has enough complete material for an album (or two) and once we set into a new normal in Bayern we will look to get our music out in the public and see who Salutes. Keep up your great work and thank you for sharing your talent with us all. Viele Grüße aus Schweimfurt

A few years ago, King Crimson played a concert hall in Austin, Texas - Tony's favorite - Bass Concert Hall. The band didn't allow pictures during the show as they wanted you to enjoy the music (I did!). At the end of the show, when Tony started taking pictures, we were allowed to take some as well. The next day, Tony had posted some of the pictures from that show and you could clearly see me taking pictures of Tony as he was taking pictures of the sold out audience. Kind of neat to have pictures from both directions. Sorry Tony, the hall isn't named for your instrument, but for a rather affluent oil family in Fort Worth that gave a donation to the University to build the concert hall. I look forward to y'all coming back again real soon. It sounded real good in that hall. Thanks also for this interview. It was informative and clearly Julia had done her homework before this was recorded.

Julia's preparation, research, and attention-to-detail on Levin enabled her to peel back layers from the usual surface-level conversation to remarkably interesting depths allowing the listener to actually feel at times that he/she was there. Julia you're an amazing musician and quite obviously an amazing interviewer with a style that's refreshing, inquisitive, fun and genuine ("Rolling Stone" pay attention). Thank you! Levin, thank you for the joy and I'll definitely check out "Liquid Tension Exp III" and the new book. Others, if you like improvisation, listen to "Black Light Syndrome" [1997] recorded in LA w/ Bozzio & Stevens.
