re: Jackson Browne's The Load Out - Stay

That was David Lindley.
A really unique musician - kind of similar to Waddy Wachtel in that he played with a lot of the same people, and there are probably millions of fans of rock music of the 70s that really dig his work and have no idea what his name is, or that he played on so many different songs those fans like.
Staying with the theme of the OP - Lindley also sang the falsetto portion of "Stay".

Lindley is one of a kind for sure. I'm not sure if there exists a stringed instrument that he can't play. If you like his style, he did a great collaboration with Ry Cooder that you may enjoy. His solo on Running on Empty is one of the most beautiful parts I've ever heard and nearly brings me to tears sometimes. I didn't know that was him singing the falsetto part in Stay but now that you mention it, I certainly can believe it.

Just because this thread got me back into my "Running on Empty" kick - I did look up a youtube video - this isn't the album version (in case some are wondering, the album was taken from live performances), but is from a show in 1977 and does appear to feature "The Section" (not sure on Kortchmar, but definitely Kunkel, Sklar and Doerge), Rosemary Butler (ETA -
), Doug Haywood and David Lindley - so this is as close as I could find to the era and the personnel as on the album version. And, it shows off some of Lindley's "performer" personality - as he switches from lap steel to "Frankie Valli" impersonation -

This X about a million. His solo stuff is really good, in a quirky way. He'll go in any direction, anytime.

Used to date a girl who was so into Jackson Browne. All you had to do is put this on and it was sexy time.

That was awesome. It's hard to tell what that lap steel is but I think it's a Rickenbacher Electro B, aka the Tuxedo. I have that same model from the '45-'50 era but I think his is even older, pre-WWII.

It's one of these, the 6-string, I believe. (ETA: I believe some folks call these "Pandas")

Yep, that's what I thought. That's the Electro B. Hadn't heard it called the Panda but it fits. Some of them have silver panels over the chambers and some are white. Mine are white. Those are both older than mine and the 7-string is older than the 6-string. You can tell by the fatter pickup. On both, the strings go through holes in the body, which dates them pre-1945. I would guess the 7-string was probably made in the early 30's and the 6-string 5-10 years later.

Because of how prolific Lindley was, these Rickenbackers have been referred to as the "most heard Rickenbacker" guitars in history, and I can believe it, even though, obviously, The Beatles and Mike Campbell, among others, used Rickenbackers extensively.
I'm not an expert, but I think the silver panels were more common in the pre-war models, and the black and white bakelite finish became more common in the 40s. I think you're right on the pickup analysis, as well, with the larger pickups marking the pre-war models - of course, I have no doubt the 6-string has been heavily used, repaired, etc., over the years, so who knows how much of this is stock. Lindley owns hundreds of stringed instruments - he doesn't even know how many and what because he started collecting them in the 1960s and it just got out of hand.

And Roger McGuinn.
A few years ago I saw Warren Zevon's Electro B for sale on eBay. I think it was his son who was selling it.

Growing up in the 70's/80's (yes, I'm old) I never appreciated Jackson Browne as much as I do now. Great songwriter. Here's one of my favorites acoustic--if you've never heard his "Solo Acoustic" albums you're missing out.

Dr My Eyes
In the History of the Eagles - of course they mention Frey helping Browne finish writing "Take it Easy" (essentially, for those of you who don't know - Browne would play songs over and over while writing them - for months, sometimes and would drive his neighbors Glenn Frey and Don Kirschner crazy - so he offered to help finish this one so Browne would stop playing it - Frey's contribution was, "...there's a girl, my Lord, in a flat-bed Ford, slowing down to take a look at me."
Anyway, Frey or Kirschner also described Browne's routine - he was a working musician without a record contract (I suppose) but he treated it like a real job. They were recovering either from staying out late, gigging, whatever, and Browne would get up at 8 a.m. or so, put on his tea kettle (thin walls, so they could hear everything) to boil water for his tea. Soon thereafter, they would hear the opening chords of what was to become "Doctor My Eyes" - just weeks or months on end.
(That's my favorite JB song, too.)
