[@jamesmiddleton8335]

Every musician knows that one musician who can take over any show, on any instrument, here we've got 4 of them. I know one of them, you get him on the drums and the room will thunder, but never too much, if you get him on the guitar, he never rips a solo, he just puts a quick bend where it's needed to bring the song up, you put him on the bass and the song will be super tight, you put him on the vocals and a beatles concert has begun. But the you put him on the keys and you just wonder why you ever put him on anything else. I won't say this person's name but i've played live with him a few times and they are always the best shows, because the entire band knows exactly what he is going to do. and we all do it, without talking about it or anything. We just know from the little hints in his playing that the song is going quiet, loud, speeding up or slowing down.

It's a custom-made 8-string "lap" steel with a chaos pad on it. JPJ had it made with the neck offset 45 degrees or so from the body so he could play it standing up. I did a bunch of research back when these guys were touring, so details may be fuzzy...
