About Mike McGibney
Expertise
I can answer questions about individual members of the band or their vast array of session musicians, or about ANY song, even the extremely rare/unpublished. I can help with musical aspects such as chords/instruments used or with style of playing or about the history behind the band and in particular, Donald Fagen and Walter Becker, the bands writers/arrangers.

Experience
I am a huge Steely Dan fan, and have my own website on them. I also have a Steely Dan tribute band, and saw the real Steely Dan play at Wembley in 2000. I play all their music on bass and piano, and specialise in hard to get songs, mostly on mp3 format.

Organizations
I play keyboards and do the arranging and transcriptions for a Steely Dan tribute band, and am a regular member on forums on the band throughout the internet.

Steely Dan - song meaning


Expert: Mike McGibney - 10/13/2004

Question
is "peg" really about actress peg entwistle who jumped off the hollywood sign in the 30's? thanks

Answer
Hey ichi


That's a theory I havent heard, and I've heard a few. Sounds really interesting - but as far as I know Peg has never been open to deep interpretation, and is a fairly straight up track. Great tune - one of my favourites. I'll look into the Peg Entwistle idea though!


Kind regards



Mike
