Steely Dan is at the top of my personal list. This loss hurts.

I had a hot, busty, blonde girlfriend @ Rutgers named Ricki. Since Fagen was a NJ boy, after I moved away from NJ in 1968, I always
thought he was talking about her.

RIP Walter....Reelin in The Years : great song.



Pretzel Logic / Aja : GREAT ALBUMS!

Wow. Rest in peace. They made some great music Interesting fact- Skunk Baxter, who left the band with Michael McDonald to join the Doobie Brothers, is now a missile defense consultant for DOD, the intelligence community, and several major defense contractors.
