Cool video of Cyndi Lauper doing "heartaches by the number". Who's playing steel guitar. His solo appears around 1:20.

Did you forget something, Richard?

I don't think I've ever seen Heartaches By The Number quite so ...animated.

No clue on the steeler..

Wow, what's the world coming to?... Cyndi Lauper singing classic Country with steel and fiddle. I like it!

Is that Willie Weeks on bass? Legend!

Looks like Kenny Aronoff on the wrong side of the drum kit?

Kind of looks like Cyndi Lauper, cotton candy, a show poodle, and Elvis were forced thru a Flux Capacitor. Sounded pretty good.

Yes, Willie Weeks.
The album lists Dan Dugmore as the only steeler, but I don't think that's him in the video..

Jon Graboff is touring with her right now but that's not him in this video (from several months ago).

Since the so-called new country music industry has been the dumping ground for all washed up, wore out pop singers, what's one more? "Country music: ain't nothin' to it, a baby could do it"

Did the poodle make it....?

I just watched it...! OMG Elvis has been reincarnated, or at least taken over Cindy's body!

Sorry for the topic drift in my earlier posts. Don't know who the steeler is, but always good to see one in action. Best of luck to him.

I did a little work with Cyndi Lauper and she is a very gracious woman. Super talented. It was a real pleasure and an honor to work for her for the bit I did. Turns out she has a good voice for traditional country !

I think she looks amazing!

I like it. Plus she has fiddle and steel.

Looks like Tammy Rogers King on fiddle who plays in the Steel Drivers bluegrass band that Chris Stapleton was a member of.

Cindy has a phenomenal voice, but a little too much affectation for country music. She's hot as hell though!

you call 'that' affected compared to all the totally phony baloney singers in new bro pop country
crap? i thought she was very natural to her cindy lauper persona.

Damn the rhythm section, specifically the drummer and bass player are nailing the pocket down cold they got the feel for this 4/4 shuffle like real country 4/4 should feel.Oh yeah Cyndi sounded pretty good too ,esp in the context Chris mentioned the s**t GNashville is pushing these days. Stormy

It makes me think of the GONG show.

I don't think it's him, because Kenny he has no hair on da head.
I really liked her performance!

I maybe totally wrong, but could that be Justin Shipper? I have screenshots of him and will point out why I thinks it is.

This from the Show Pro site. Finish is the same as in the video. There is some kind of a plate above the logo, though longer and with a notch cut out. in front of the changer. Notice the hat.




In the video, it looks like the same Show Pro, still with a plate in front of the changer. There is a 2nd pickup and controls added. Notice that it is the same style hat, although the player in the video isn't wearing glasses (possibly contacts?).







Those look like Show Pro fret markers.

She does....NOT the musicians.

There appears to be an additional pickup between the original pickup and the fretboard...
