Walter Becker RIP

[casserole of nonsense]

Died today, aged just 67. The Cuervo Gold, the fine Colombian has taken its toll.

 

[East Level 2]

Shocked to hear this as he was only 67. Pretzel Logic and Countdown to Ecstasy are excellent albums.

 

[DrBlueBob]

Genuinely saddened to hear that. Gaucho is one of my desert island albums, (assuming I'm allowed to take albums) and Aja is up there too, not to take away from East Level 2's fine choices.
Make tonight a wonderful thing.

They didn't do a bad album. Hell, they didn't do a bad track.

An exceptional band.

R.I.P. Walter.

Gutted! the soundtrack to my youth, one of the reason's why I started to pick up an instrument. Wish I'd never heard of Steely Dan just so I could discover them all over again......

Ditto to this. Bought Royal Scam from the market back of Piccadilly May '76 and played it incessantly during that hot Summer.
