Happy Birthday Guitarist Dean Parks, the genius behind the intro to Steely Dan's "Josie." This is one of our favorite songs, and the intro is iconic. Can you imagine the session with Dean, Victor Feldman (Rhodes), Chuck Rainey (bass), and Jim Keltner (drums)? Session royalty!

Happy Birthday Guitarist Dean Parks. If there is a musician who epitomizes "the hidden connection" in the music we love, it's Dean. Has anyone else played on Songs In the Key of Life, Aja, Thriller and Anita Baker's Rapture? Here's his work on "No One In The World."
