Related: About this forumDavid Lindley, 'Musician's Musician' to the Rock Elite, Dies at 78
This happened a while back, but I don't think we had an obit for him in Music Appreciation.
David Lindley worked with a wide range of luminaries, most notably Jackson Browne, and there was seemingly no stringed instrument he couldnt play.

I'm pretty sure there was one in LBN. I'll look for it in a bit. I'm at "work" now.

...have become synonymous because of his mastery of that instrument. For players, we can just say "Like David Lindlay" and we all know what that means.
He was so smooth, and could be adventurous but accurate.
He certainly could play regular guitar, but he became THE (not "a" master of lap steel.
