A story about Donald Fagen
This only indirectly relates to Mr. Fagen. However, it goes to the entire band of the early ‘70s and their remarkable creative process.
After a show in the early 70s I attended a party with several in the band, Jim F.? (the drummer), Royce (vocals) and, of course, J. “Skunk” Baxter (guitarist) and spent time with them sharing my experiences in the SF Bay Area from the late 60s to ‘71 and curiously enough … the next album (‘Pretzel Logic’) seemingly revealed several songs with lyrics at least partially alluding to those conversations (‘Major Dude,’ ‘Rikki,’ and ‘Pretzel Logic’).
What a trip!!!
