The big news on Thursday was the cancelation of the remainder of the Florida part of the Steely Dan Tour.
As a matter of fact, they also canceled the stop in South Carolina, which makes it the next 5 tour stops and a total of 10 days.
They have been fighting positive COVID-19 tests for several weeks and it just got to the point where too much of the band was positive.
From what I heard, a positive test even knocked out the guitar tech, the man who keeps all the guitars going.
We know nothing about Donald Fagen himself, but people who have been quarantined over the past few weeks are Carolyn Leonhardt (who has been back stage singing behind Plexiglas). We also think that Keith Carlock has been stricken, because he has been wearing a mask up on the drum stand. Imagine trying to drum with a mask on.
I had noticed that both guitarists were masked recently and I showed that to my Husband. Though I think that may have been preventive, since neither of them sing.
Some of these dates have been canceled before, back in late 2021.
Glad we were tour day 3 and got to see them, finally.
