Donald Jay Fagen has been a staple in my musical experience both as an artist and talent of which to aspire. He and the late Walter Becker established themselves early on in my taste for eclectic sound with their band Steely Dan and his influence in my musical tastes has extended from the late 1960s in the form Steely Dan and the various iterations of his solo career and other aspects of his prolific performance art. Donald Fagen calls himself a self-taught pianist and vocalist overcoming stage fright and enduring the strains associated with touring. He plays the Fender Rhodes and Wurlitzer electric pianos . Today is his birthday. |
