Neato fact that I pinched from a book faces article, then confirmed through the wiki's, so it must be true. I had never heard this about Mr. Cornelius Crane Chase. And it ties back into one of my concert regrets, not ever having seen Steely Dan.
Actor #ChevyChase played drums in Bard college for a band called The Leather Canary. He left the band after a couple of months because he didn't think anything would come of it. Two band members and classmates went on to evolve into #SteelyDan. Those two men are none other than Walter Becker and Donald Fagen.
”Don sort of looked like a crow most of the time,” says Chevy Chase. ”He’d walk around with this beak of a nose and he always wore black clothing and looked down with his hands in his pockets. People thought he was kind of weird and quiet. They didn’t realize that he was really intelligent, a very funny, bright guy.”
