Lap Steel

"Lap Steel" was composed by Nicolas Carr. It is a sound-alike to "Hawaiian Link (a)," except shorter, and usually plays during scene transitions and time cards. It features a short steel guitar lick being played. There are two versions: "Lap Steel," which is the reverb version, and "Lap Steel 1," which is the version without reverb.
