I'm loathe to send you on a scavenger hunt through a teeth-grindigly bad TV commercial but... does anybody else recognize anyone/anything here? Maybe I'm just truppin'.

I came to reference my chord chart for Paging Audrey the other day, and I can't find it here. Could it be that I never posted it? To me, this song is as good as anything Walter ever wrote, Steely Dan or otherwise. It's up there with Caves of Altamira, Gaucho, and Deacon Blues for me.

I wanted to take a moment and wish this wonderful community a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. I know this year's Christmas will be a bit, um, unique, but I still wish the best for everyone. ❤️

So I'm working on an album with my musical partner. One of the tunes we are having a lot of fun with is this homage to the main man. This is still a demo, but I'm sharing it here with the in-crowd. Hope you like it :-)

The library of Walter Becker University includes a deep-dive into the history of Circus Money Package Art. Here’s the CM Art deep-dive. Want to discuss it? Have at it here.

50 years ago today, The Kinks released their album "The Kinks are the Village Green Preservation Society". Upon listening to the album this morning, it dawned on me that the second track on the album, "Do you Remember Walter?" would be a great song for Donald Fagen and the Steely Dan band to cover, as a tribute to Walter Becker. Yes, I know the style of the tune doesn't exactly sound 'Steely Dan-esque', but still, I think Donald could pull it off. And, the lyrics would be perfectly appropriate: "Walter, remember when the world was young and all the girls knew Walter's name? Walter, isn't it a shame the way our little world has changed. Do you remember Walter playing cricket in the thunder and the rain? Do you remember Walter smoking cigarettes behind your garden gate? Yes, Walter was my mate. But Walter, my old friend, where are you now?"

Hey Matt and D-Mod. Hope y'all are doing well during this unprecedented time. It's been a couple months since you blessed us with 'Love in the 4th', so how's about another new one to help diminish this cabin fever? :-)

GOD.DAMMIIT.v Listening to old interviews, Glasgow etc. , just missing Dr. Becker in the worst way.

I like knowing that somewhere out in the ocean Narwhalter Becker is swimming around right now. Makes me smile.
