That said, my father-in-law played a lot with Ricky Lawson (he was on stage playing with him when Lawson suffered his fatal brain aneurysm mid-song(!), and from what he said, Lawson was the best to play with because of his precision, and his resume certainly backs that up. So I’ll nominate Ricky Lawson to replace Tommy Lee on JK’s list since nobody else is fighting him:)

Pedal steel pops up here and there in great songs. Dylan used it on Blood on the Tracks. Neil Young on Harvest. Elton John incorporated it at times. Jimmy Page too.

Same with the dobro, which is similarly used, and pops up when rock songs want a folkier feel.

John Sebastian played the zither on Do You Believe in Magic and a few other Spoonful songs.

And Norwegian Wood may have a sitar, I think, because Harrison was into India, but I can’t be sure because I don’t like the Beatles.

yes, the game seems to have passed Brian Cashman by…

I need a FIBA fix badly.

It’s a really nice return.
