Conversation with June Millington and guitarist Jeff "Skunk" Baxter
Manage episode 312882332 series 3250409
Many people ask me about the mods on my '57 Les Paul, and notice what Jeffrey did to my vintage Strat, as well. Yes, he did all those! When I met "Skunk," I didn't know he played guitar (around 1970). Guitarist Lowell suggested I pay him a visit, to do work in some of my new (old) guitars. And there a deep friendship was born. At the time, the band he was in, Steely Dan, was recording their first album, but no one had heard of them. After a few seasons - and a few hits - Jeff left that band to join the Doobie Brothers, and brought Michael McDonald in with him. There are too many stories, too many chapters to tell, but Jeff and I got down to the nexus of this conversation quickly: our deep friendship and respect for each other, with guitar stories thrown in. Enjoy!
~ June
