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individual members of the band or their vast array of session musicians, or about ANY song, even the extremely rare/unpublished.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.
Question I saw steely dan in toronto 2001, the "guest" guitar player took a rather loud solo, Becker looked over (disaprovingly). The next tour he was gone.
Do you Know his name?
Answer Hi!
The other guitarist for SD in that tour was Jon Herington - a really great player, who is still working with them. There was some talk about WB dumbing down his contribution to the 2vN album, but this would surprise me.
He's got a good website, if you do a google search, and has played with some top names!
