Lewis Masonic's program "On The Level" interviews renowned composer and keyboard virtuoso Rick Wakeman ("Yes") about his Masonic membership in England's Chelsea Lodge No. 3098, and why he joined.
A "Lewis" is the son of a Mason, and the term comes from a metal key that slips into a channel cut into the top of a finished stone used to lift it on an operative mason worksite.

Brother Wakeman describes being referred to as "almost a Lewis". I don't know what this means. Is it a British expression?
