Walter Becker, the guitarist and songwriter who made suavely subversive pop hits out of slippery jazz harmonies and verbal enigmas in Steely Dan, his partnership with Donald Fagen, died on Sunday. He was 67... https://www.nytimes.com/2017/09/03/arts/music/walter-becker-dead-steely-dan.html (https://www.nytimes.com/2017/09/03/arts/music/walter-becker-dead-steely-dan.html) Great band, sad news. Good night WALTER.

Such variety of styles and musicianship. In recent recent years Ive begun to appreciate their music more and more. There are a couple of songs that ive always liked and didnt know it was by them. Back in the day, "Reeling in the years" was one of the first basslines that I learned. I am still fascinated by that song. Its lyrics are so meaningful and profound in a simple way. I could never get anyone to jam on it though. RIP.
