Calypso Rain -featuring the Dan Sleep protoype lap steel

The last voyage of the Dan sleep prototype lap steel before sending it off to Gary Herget.This was one of the three guitars that I traded Dan for my Les Paul studio. Thanks to Pick for being so generous to give me the idea to get this to Gary.
