I'll bet.  I went to a bass clinic of his, where he nonchalantly showed us how he had to double the bass and sax parts for their version of "21st Century Schizoid Man"

Since I refuse to believe that you guys won't know him, I'll do the "hint" thing. Lets start with he's American, born in Brooklyn, NY, and has played with some of the most time-tested acts from that era. While he is a world-class bassist, his name is is not on the tip of everyone's tongue. And no, its's NOT Hugh McDonald. ;D

I was thinking the same thing, but I've never seen a pic of him with that much hair.  I saw him on the brief stint he did with Foghat.  I also never saw him with a Thunderbird.

We have a winner!
That was a shot of him with Derringer - from his MySpace page.
Here's a more recent Gibsonian pic - although he seems to be playing an Ibanez Roadstar II most often lately...

I had never seen him with a Thunderbird either. He has a distinctive jaw, though, and he has that determined look while he's playing.

Gotta love the bell bottoms.
