	I'm not sure if he's on the recording but Tony Levin
(along with Steve Gadd) act as themselves, more or less, with
Paul Simon in the 'One Trick Pony' film.  Simon's character
(Jonah Levin) was actually named after Tony.  It's a pretty
good film.  Also, the keyboardsman in the film (I think his
name is Richard Treat but I'm not sure) later appeared on 
Peter Gabriel's 'So' release playing piano on 'Don't Give Up,'
which all of you should know.
