Just read that Donald Fagen has a new album coming out, _Morph the Cat_, due to hit stores March 14th. Even better news is that he’s doing a small tour around the country ([info including sample player here](http://donaldfagen.com/))…and even better than that, it looks like Steely Dan will be touring again this spring. Since info on the Dan is usually scant, I thought I’d pass the word along here. P.S.: I’m three songs in right now and each song sounds better than the one before. Good stuff! ---

Fagen’s got a new one coming out? Cool! _What a beautiful world it will be, What a wonderful time to be free …_ ---

Hooray!..I mean, oh crap! He isn’t coming any closer to me than Cleveland. Oh well, there’s another one of my favorite artists I guess I’ll never see. But I’ll buy his album no matter what. I can only hope Steely Dan comes somewhere closer than a thousand miles. Atlanta, even - I’m there. ---

God but I love this guy (and Steely Dan). Thanks for the update! ---

> [@Kalhoun](#): > > God but I love this guy (and Steely Dan). Thanks for the update! Sure. I’ve been a huge fan for decades and I’ve been glad to see that both he and Steely Dan are continuing to release new work and tour. ---

Woo hoo, this is almost as good as a new Roger Waters album… Love the Dan, and Fagen. I’ll have to remember to keep an eye out for this. ::sends it off in a letter to herself:: ---

The closest one to me is in DC.
