Devastating news for music fans; Walter Becker, co-founder of Steely Dan dead at 67

Just horrid news this morning that co-founder of the seminal band Steely Dan, Water Becker, has passed away. Johnny doesn't have a lot of Walter Becker stories to throw around, he and Donald Fagen are somewhat private guys. What he does have is a lifetime of great lyrics, fabulous music, and the best backup singing, all in part from Mr. Walter Becker. Johnny will no doubt have a song next week on the Music Series dedicated to Becker and Steely Dan but for now, it's 'The Royal Scam'

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with STEELY DAN!

Pretty much because Johnny hadn't heard this song in a while and it came on and a 15 watt bulb went off over his head and here we all are. And it's a beautiful night.
