Dan, or more currently, the Hendrix of the Steel, Robert Randloph? And the king of the non-pedal lap steel, David Lindley? Those searing slide parts on "Running On Empty" - that's him.

At least it's the only song like it that still receives consistent radio airplay in most places. The contributions of the (recently departed) Sneaky Pete Kleinkow, who later in life became a visual effects technician at Industrial Light ,as well as an outstanding studio musician, among other things, are unknown to most listeners these days.The guy has played on more songs that just don't realize who the players are in the studio.
