Today is Tony Levin's birthday. For those of you who don't know, Levin is an amazing bassist who has played with not only his own band but incarnations of King Crimson, Peter Gabriel's band and many other bands and artists. He is also known for playing the Chapman Stick, a stringed instrument played by tapping the strings with one's fingers and helped to invent Funk Fingers, extensions attached to the bassist's fingers allowing him or her to tap the bass strings for a funky sound.
Here is video of a guy playing the Chapman Stick:
