What the heck IS that?

Hey. This is my first post, guess i need to introduce myself.

My name is Ricky. I'm from Mississippi. Its nice to meet you.

Anyway, I was watching some of the videos in the archive, more specifically the Morning Becomes Eclectic ones, and I was wondering what the little instrument Jim plays on his lap is called. It sort of sounds like a keyboard or something, but totally isn't....I think.

Sorry if this sounds dumb, but its driving me crazy because I really want one and don't even know what it is.

Doesn't sound dumb at all, I see it asked on here all the time.  It's called an Omnichord.   ;)

2.  Does Jim have a girlfriend?
3. What does "my morning jacket" mean?
4.  I'm new, which album should I buy next?
