Michael McDonald's been a friend of mine for many years. I already knew Steely Dan would typically record 4 and sometimes 5 different drummers on a track, or a couple different horn arrangements, whatever, and choose which one they'd use at a later point in time. Every song a long process of addition and elimination.
Mike told me he was in the studio doing background vocals for 2 days because those guys were so picky.
A few years ago I while at Mike's studio while doing some overdubs, asked me if I'd help him with something when the session was over.
What he wanted was my opinion on which of his 4 Fender Rhodes electric pianos was the best, IMO. Now, Mike hadn't sold a piece of gear ... ever. Still had every keyboard, mic, etc he ever bought.
We set 'em up in the main room. I started playing the intro lick to Peg on the keys. Using a voice like you'd hear in an ad for a local electronics store sale, I said "Come on down to Michael McDonald's Fender Rhodes world! We're moving 'em out! We will NOT be undersold!" etc. "Tell 'em, Michael!" "We will not be undersold!" he sang. "What's that number to call, Michael" ... he sings "4321 PEG" Laughter ensued.
I asked him a couple years ago if he's sold any more gear. With a sheepish chuckle, "Nope." LOL
What a classic voice. And what a nice guy!
Expect More of This.
A Lot More.
