Dr. Mu--Way to grab the tiger by the tail. Thanx for the info.
L'Etranger--So what Latin jazz you listening to? And where you from? That's what a Black Cow was in my neighborhood, too. BTW, as a good existentialist, do you think the end of the last Seinfeld episode was a direct grab from Sartre's "No Exit?" You know, "Hell is other people?" I saw a movie of the play which ended in exactly the same way.

Ruby: yes, you have my permission to use Clas anytime, you know he loves it, and after you're finished singing "I Love LA", i'll chime in with the late great Sinatra's "New York, New York" where Clas is king of the hill, top of the heap, done a la Liza Minelli.
do you call your Black Cows frappes too? I thought that was an east coast thing!
Stranger: Oh, i hear Clas calling me, you're lucky this time and the guy from the precinct didn't tell me you paid him off. I'll get back to you later! and btw, Clas is swedish, i don't know if he's aware that we Americans like to murder people for the fun of it and just to watch them die (i've been watching too many Tarantino movies). And another thing, rootbeer with vanill
a ice cream is called a rootbeer float, at least on the east coast it is. How about a Coney Island egg cream?Clas: Ruby will ease your pain for a while, she'll sing away your pain and her shoes don't hurt as much as mine do.
And don't let Stranger shoot you. You know what a hot italian temper I have. I'll hunt him down like a wild animal if he harms you, and when I find him, I'll let the boys take care of him. Ever heard of the East river? I understand there's a lot of cement at the bottom of it.

Clas,
Where I come from a black cow is a glass of root beer with vanilla ice cream in it. I honestly didn't know precisely what a sternum is. I knew it was a bone somewhere between the pelvis and the neck. That's one reason I turn to this page -- to learn science. Also, it's clear you're not an American when you say it's ok to make fun of you. When someone makes fun of a true American, the American goes home, pouts awhile, loads his machine guns and then goes out and murders innocent bystanders. In fact, our chief ambition in life is not to be an innocent bystander.

THE NEW ALBUM!
Bruce's sixth album is tentatively scheduled for a late summer 1998 release. The title is "Spirit
Trail." Recorded from November to March in Bruce's home studio in Virginia, as well as additional
recording in New Orleans and New York, the album will feature the band as well as additional
musicians, including John Leventhal on guitar and Canadian violinist, Ashley MacIsaac. This album
doesn't include the roster of "special guests" who played on the last two. Bruce said, "I decided to be the
ball hog this time."Howard -- no, I'm only familiar with Cabin Girl.

Ruby,
All CD's have an angstom or so thick coating of metal on them to cover the digital information to be stored on the plastic (polycarbonate) disk. Any metal will do, but most are done with aluminum, because it is cheap. The idea behind the 24K gold is that in theory since aluminum can oxidize relatively easily, and since gold does not oxidize, the gold will give you a better more consitant playback forever. I have several and they all do sound "better"! Deeper base, etc. HOWEVER, all of these disks are also specially remastered, often from the original master recordings - so of course they sound "better". The gold disks are strickly an oddity - made desireable to me because of the remastering than the gold itself - although they do look cool. However since most CD changers don't show the disk when playing (Someday I've got to get one of those wild looking vertical Harmon Kardon machines) it just boils down to personal tastes and finances. BTW the gold original master recording CD of Aja does not have the lyrics in the foldout - a really good reason to by the $11.99 regular one which does!

Here’s a story The Dan doesn’t like told because they don’t like to call attention to their generosity. But by golly, the world ought to know:
Little Timmy was terribly ill and barely clinging to life in intensive care. His family’s home had been wiped out by El Nino, but Timmy had managed to save one copy of Aja, though he no longer had a CD player. That was all he wanted before entering the pearly gates -- a cd player for one more run-through of his precious CD, which he held tight in his ill little fist. Cause he figured the Dan would never make a new album while he was alive. Well the nurses called up the newspaper and first thing you knew, they were popping flashbulbs all over the ward and telling the story of little Timmy and his Aja. It just so happened that across the highway Don & Walt were doing their 463rd run-through of track 1 of their new album and feeling a little bummed cause the first four producers had all died of old age. But when Don & Walt heard about little Timmy, why they dropped everything, comandeered a chopper and rappelled themselves through the window & right beside his bed. You don’t need no damn CD player to play our old stuff, Timmy, cause we’re gonna finish our brand new album today, they said, and you get the first tape. Whereupon Timmy, a knowledgeable Dan fan, dropped dead. Staring down at his pitiful little form, Don remarked, well, I guess we’ll have time to perfect that tambourine sequence after all. You bet, Walt said.

"Barrytown" -- neither Bigotry, Fundamentalism, or Right Wing Conservatism. Rather, it is Prophecy!
Think about Washington, DC mayor Marion Barry, his arrest for smoking crack ("I can tell by what you carry..."); the distinctions made by locals between those who live in VA, MD, and DC (trust me on this one; lived there for 10 years); the steady depopulation of the city itself ("I know you'd like some company"); the class distinction between the politically-connected elites and the working stiffs who make up the federal and local bureaucracies ("Barrytown people got to be from another world", "a special lack of grace").The song was written about the time DC got Home Rule ("I'm not one to look behind, I know that times must change, but over there in Barrytown they do things mighty strange. Though you're not my enemy, I like things like they used to be.") and expresses the misgivings felt by many at the time about the change.

Yarn du jour: A friend informs me that TRACKS, local

"Hurry man, everything is slashed -- only three days left!"
As I walk in, two youths are asking what ALL they come GET
with the twenty-spot. I browse each bin, and after oh, say,
two hours, I discover amidst the soundtracks...
"Tribute To Jeff."
Hmm, this looks like something I need to add to the DAN-
related ensemble. At the counter the archhead takes the CD,
rips the mag strip from the back, turns it over, studies
the front cover, gazes at me, double takes the cover and me,
and says, "Here, enjoy this, it's on me." I was thrilled, but
not compared to the after effect from listening to it. The
sleeve is unreal. Kudos, David Garfield. Rest in peace, Jeff.Zeke: Sounds like SlowHand still plays for keeps. Thanks for
the Doobie reports also. Check this out! Coupla weeks back I'm
listening to a radio concert report and I hear that the opening
act for YES(my second concert ever... '73 - Yikes!) is none
other than the AP Project. Holy Cow!!! Like the lads, another band of merit that NEVER tours. OK, so I get killer seats, call
an old HS bud I haven't seen for 8-9 years, and here we go!
NOW, I hear that Woolfson is joining Parsons for the first time
ever on tour. ALSO... no lawn seats will be sold, and supposedly
a huge curtain will shroud the pavillion. ??? Tres bizarre.

Ruby Baby, thanks to you also for the information on where I couldn find Aja on CD. I do not know what is the purpose of it being gold; all I know is that I want a scratch-free copy of Aja. Try listening to an LP after you've heard it on CD.
Steve VeeDan, I appreciate your welcome as well and hope that I will fit in. Thanks to you also for the information on finding Aja.

Just Steely Dan music is all I need. Poor Bjorn. He will never again be a Simpson's voice. Did you know his wife threw a brick and killed his head? I am very serious now.

UbyAby: Anodized aluminum cd's are mostly for decoration. I suggest perusing the used cd selections as often as possible and, instead of buying "gold" discs, make sure your cd player has at least 24X oversampling.
BTW, I'm sure this information is WAY back in the archives somewhere, but I just discovered that one of my favorite "obscure" discs was produced by Walter Becker and engineered by Roger Nicholls: John Beasley's "Cauldron". It's on Windham Hill. Look for it in your local cut-out bin.

Bookkeeper's Son,
OK, I've got it straight. It was Irvine, Calif., 1994, not Anaheim, and Aja, not Deacon Blues, was recorded there for the live album. Deacon Blues isn't even on the live album. It's not always easy to know what town you're in when you're reading street signs from the back of an onion truck. Anyway, that entire year is a blur except for the Dan concert, which was magnificent. SDan is such a tight band in the studio, I really didn't expect magic in a live, outdoor setting. But there it was. And it's on the CD.About that tarantula in my lap (cause I'm sure everyone was worried) -- when he began building a nest I finally made a desperate grab for a cannister of Iranian chemical agent I keep for just such emergencies. But it didn't turn out quite as well as I hoped. The docs say I should be up & limping around in a few months. For reasons which still puzzle me, my wife chuckled throughout, muttering something about poetic irony. I was wondering if she could stay with Clas for just a year or two.

Did anyone see the "Best of Austin City Limits" last night? They had some great blues performers like, B.B. King, Ligntnin' Hopkins, W.C. Clark, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Bonnie Raitt, and Delbert McClinton. Ah, to have that kind of talent.
I still don't understand why people feel the need to solve their problems with a gun. I am sadden to see another great artist snuffed out by violence.

Zeke--I crashed the gates of the Alamodome last Saturday night and threw two mutants wearing Molly Hatchet T-shirts out of their front row center seats in order to see my favorite bluesboy up-close and personal. God! What a talent! The minute I felt a tear begin to well in my eye I grabbed a bouncer and head-butted him into oblivion. I felt better. Eric couldn't help but notice and ushered me up on stage where I harmonized with him on "Heaven". I stayed backstage sipping Sky until the encore when darned if old Clappy didn't throw me a strat! Within seconds it was like our old Blues Breaker's days! Eric belting out Sunshine of Your Love and me batting foreign objects back into the crowd with that pristine, white-lacquered guitar body! Don't miss the chance to see EC if he comes your way. Only expect to see a 20 piece orchestra, not 80. New Orleans always makes me see quadruple, too, Zeke...

Clas: Just stopping in to check the GB. The Doobies show was
killer. The line-up, Tom Johnston, Pat Simmons, John Mcfee,
Michael Hossack, Keith Knudson, and Mr. Michael McDonald.
No Mr. Bumpus this time or Skunk, who I thought would be a
surprise guest. New Orleans has many publications on the local music scene. In these magazines are articles reguarding the bands playing @ Jazz Fest. One article on how Michael McDonald was chosen to replace Johnston stated that Skunk,
told the band about Michael through sessions with Steely Dan.
The Doobs flew Mike out to New Orleans, rented the old Warehouse club for 3 weeks, and continued the tour, which the first stop was Baton Rouge, and the rest is history.On another note, Clapton played the SuperDome here last week. I'm not going to go on about how awesome and great the show was. But I can tell you that IMHO, it was good to see him again. He had an 80 piece orch. behind him, the show was very professional and well put together. Yes, he played the new stuff and the old, but what was impressive to me was the backup singers. The three girls were magnificent. Very smooth, a nice touch, reminded me of the Dan.
Thats how I feel about Don and Walt. It would be nice to just see them out again. Sure the music is great and all that stuff, but I just want to see them again, (to see them in New Orleans would be better, hint)
Later Clas, and the gang.

Hey Lester Nightfly: re:David Palmer
Big Mistakes (#082)
He was added to the Steely Dan lineup at the end of the 'Can't Buy A Thrill' sessions (circa July 1972) with the hope (of Fagen) that he could be the sole Steely Dan vocalist.......unfortunately he sounded like a David Crosby wannabee and was drunk (a la Jerome Aniton) much of the time....
later he collaborated with Carole King (1975) and was the leader of the ABC Records act Big Wakoo (as in koo koo)......

You've got to admit, Peter's got a point there. Many of us sinners who write into this guestbook would be lying if we said we didn't use SD as theme music for gettin' it on. Incidentally, I like Billy Joel's The Stranger rather well. I was watching that VH1 thing again last night and wondering what the deal ever was with David Palmer. Did they not think that DF could sing at first, or did they feel deeply compelled to add a tambourine specialist? Whatever happened to him?

Hello everyone. I know you are all so disappointed that I haven't been around lately. I am having trouble convincing my employers that the Steely Dan guestbook is a necessary part of my job. But anyway, I know that this has nothing to do with SD but has anyone read the Dragons of Eden by Carl Sagan? It is incredible. Every page was fascinating -- I might even say that it impressed me as no book ever has. thats all.

Babylon Sis,
Tried Harry Connick and he has his moments, but he's inconsistent. The Dan are perfectionists, so when they do put out a new album every 400 years or so, when you lay down your jackson for it, you're going to find the sweetness you been crying for on every track.Peter North,
Your postings are similar in style to the behavior of someone whose mommy and daddy just sent him off to college and he's so crazy in love with being on his own (at least he thinks he is) that he becomes utterly obnoxious. So shut the fuck up till you've got something to say someone wants to hear.

I just got back to the page and was surprised by all of the comments about my one little question. I wasn't accusing. Just asking you obviously well versed dan heads, what YOU thought they meant by those lyrics. I LOVE Steely Dan. Their music makes me feel like riding in a convertble, on a beautiful spring day, on a mountainous road overlooking the ocean. Some of you made some good points that I did not consider before opening my mouth,(like the musicians that have played with the band, et.al) Consider my face red(?)
Moving on to another subject. Does anyone out there feel any similiarties in the music of John Pizzarelli, Harry Connick, Jr. and some of the Dan's "feel"? You know. The FEEL of the music.
To Maxine: You sound a TAD angry. Do you like Steely Dan? If so, pull out something, anything by them and CHILL.

Is your posting some sort of Burma Shave thing, where, after four entries, it becomes a clever rhyme?Re Kamakiriad: Nothing's cooler than the transition from "Trans Island Skyway" to "Countermoon". The unceremonious someone-left-the-drum-machine-running ending of "TIS" zips right into the greatest intro ever: a gradually attacking cymbal roll, the horn/woodwind buildup, plaintive pigeon cooing says I'm almost there; drum kicks in like a perfectly timed hip thrust, ...musical climax. Then that cruel countermoon sweeps in.

Speaking of champagne, I had some the other night. There were candles, luscious food and even better company. But there was one minor thing missing; the music. I could faintly hear it playing in my mind. It was Any Major Dude. So I put it on and I was right, it is the perfect song to go with champagne. It's so encouraging. My heart just spirals up along with the guitar. It's a Best Friend song.

I think Peter might be trying to get us away from the race issue. I'd certainly rather discuss what he's talking about. Maybe Pete should head up a town hall meeting with the President- he'd probably be equally interested. I just taught myself the chords for Home at Last and I Got the News. The latter is quite a piece of work. In my efforts to write songs, it's songs like that which make me burn with envy much like Salieri's. I said envy, huh, huh, huh.

Myra,
Now you've got me dreaming about top AND bottom.All,
As we wait for the Godot of a new SDan album or tour, we also cast about pretty much uselessly for substitutes. Here's something I like:Chet Baker-- jazz vocalist and trumpeter of the fifties. On the surface, not much like the Dan and yet ...
cool, hip, minimalist, everything on the record is there for a reason. a fragile voice that you think may not get there but always does. Sound familiar? For starters, you might try Chet Baker Sings (on Pacific Jazz Records).

Clas: 2 instincts (ROM-hard wiring): a) affinity for and digging turf/sand suitable for "personal" use and b) if you have a male (especially non-neutered). it's marking it's territory. Kitty cats, like all of the 35 species of cat (lion, jaguar, etc.) are hunters and predators. Supposedly, small ferel (sp?) cats were domesticated in Egypt about 5000 years ago and used for hunting mice which were feasting on bags of grain. Cats became a religious icon...killing a cat at one time in Egypt resulted in the execution of that individual.

I grew up in a jewish/italian neighborhood. My best friend was Rita Ruben who invited me to my first seder when I was 8 years old and I remember throwing up because Mrs. Ruben kept trying to feed me long after I became full. I thought I was being rude by declining her tempting offers, but like my own mother, she wanted to make sure her children and any of her children's friends didn't leave her house hungry. I never knew racism existed until we moved to another neighborhood and became the victims of it. I tried to figure out why these people were so cruel and my dad told me it was fear. I then longed for the days when I lived nestled between Edelman's Deli and Marotta's Bakery. I love everyone...regardless of who they are...
ok...back to SD stuff...so do you think we'll all be in geriatric care facilities sitting in our rocking chairs with laptops firmly positioned upon our TV trays still waiting for a new album to come out?

You lost me with your poll reference. but my cerebellum is a little zapped from mega deicbels of Aja and scotch whiskey all night long.Myra,
SDan is so outside the mainstream, it's a wonder they make it on any charts at all. Does this mean you hog the top all the time? Are we already incompatible? Get a report on me from Susan. I'm hoping to get excellent word of mouth.Lots of people here have said interesting stuff on race. Fact is, the music we love would never have been borh without black people. Fag. & Beck. are too smart not to know this. Too often when someone dares to mention race, he/she is branded racist. We make it a lot easier for people if they just just mutter absurd cliches. But if you're gonna make jokes, make them funny. What's funny about a fakey Jewish accent?

Rigs: You are correct, sir. My grandfather, from Queens, would call anything that wans't big band, especially rockn'roll jungle music...and the previous generation looked down their prospective noses at jazz...and ther previous generation looked down their prospecitve noses at ragtime and John Philip Sousa for cryin' out loud.
My biological take on human "biodiversity" and racism: My understanding is that there is actually very little variation within the human genome when comapred with other species. That probably has to do with the fact that recent DNA studies appear to indicate that all folks from all across the world cam from the same ancestor estimated from 100,000 to 200,000 years ago. blowing the ill-conceived notion of parallel human evolution out of the water. A comparative biologist once told me that there is less genetic variation among the human race than there is between two colonies of field mice separated by a one-acre corn field. As human we just notice small differences in phenotypic expression (how a person looks - I bet we all look alike to a chimp). There probably IS a built-in apprehension and wrongful thinking my those preceeding us, about strangers and people who look different than we do. As with all behavioral tendencies, it can be easily overridden with logic, faliliarity, and education.
Biodiversity is a (often mis)used term which comes from the study of complex, dynamic ecosystems with many different species interacting at a number of different levels, each performing it's own role or niche. This type of model seems to be helpful for agriculture and even business structure. But of course, the biodiversity model if applied to people of different "ethnic" backgounds (again, there's not that much difference!) would imply that each race would have IT'S OWN ROLE in a contructive society! The very definition of racism! Let's see...the ancient Egyptians tried it...they tried it in the Southland a long time ago...they tried it in Nazi Germany...nope, I guess it is bullshit, huh?...Diversity of cultures, ideas, philosphies is one thing, but PC mania is just another form of racism. Examples: Someone who was born is Spain is "white" where someone born in Mexico, but someone with the same Spanish ancestory and heritage is Hispanic. By that logic Cajuns in south Louisiana should get to check a different box even though their ancestors were from Canada and, of course, France before that. Is this "latitudeism?" It's easy to find in the Dan songs that racism is evil and ignorant folly.
Having been around the USA, believe me, there are much greater regional differences between regions (no, I'm not trying to start something here) say like New York vs. Chocago vs. south Louisiana vs. Texas vs. North Carolina than there is among our different "ethnic" backgrounds.

Why don't we talk about coffee instead? So why the decaf-dissing? Mr. Fagen himself gave decaf a nod in "Kama." I used to drink caffeinated coffee 24 hours a day when I was in my residency, and decided to see if I could get along without it. Never have been much of a substance user, anyway; kind of a drug wimp. So I have been decaf for a long time, and still LOVE coffee. I get Peet's French roast when I can, or locally fresh-roasted organic beans, brew it strong in a Capresso thermal carafe, and still drink it 24 hours a day.
Been listening to Yo-Yo Ma, "Soul of the Tango: The Music of Astor Piazzolla." It's really beautiful. Caffeine for a sloshy romantic like me.

Very cool web page you got here. Been a Steely Dan fan since the Aja album. I was in sixth grade at the time. Listened to Deacon Blues, Aja and Black Cow with my headphones on every night for about a year.Loved Pete Christlieb's sax solos still do !! Saw the Dan last year in Portland. I was 33 years old and thought I would never see them live in my lifetime. Great show really enjoyed Donald and Walter. The rest of the band was great too. A little dissapointed that they didn't play Deacon Blues but it was a great show anyway. Keep up the good work with the web page.

Jungle music, is not a racial term. There was a movie called (The Blackboard Jungle)! I recommend renting it!
It came out in the late 1950's, and was a parody of what the elder masses thought of rock"n"roll. "The kids must be insane." DF and WB were adolescents in this time period. For example, on the song Pretel Logic, they say, "you must be joking son, where did you get those (blue swede) shoes.(Elvis)
The jungle music time period, thus, Ruby baby, and most of the selctions on New York Rock and Soul Revue, represent jungle music. It' not Frank, Dean, or Glenn Miller. It's bad.
We dont pick on Todd Rundgren for being in (The Nazz). Let's all see through the BS. Godspeed, Rigs.

Geena's girl ole is PISSED AGAIN at MORE BULLSHIT, now Jew-baiting. I really am not normally this humorless, but you're in my backyard now, and it's JUST AS STUPID and BIGOTED as the other xenophobic, racist, gay-bashing, pejorative, defamatory, and otherwise disrespectful bullshit that rears its ugly pin head on the GB from time to time. BACK OFF THE JEWS, ASSHOLE!
Bab Sistah--I don't have anything to add to the excellent discussion of "jungle music." I think that Mr. F. & Mr. B. are such fine poets that they can tap the underbelly so true it gives you the willies.
Roy--Just a quick thanks for what is sure to be the only occasion in my life that I am mentioned in the same sentence as Messrs. B. & F.
Aja in Orlando--you're back?? new handle? how the hell are ya?
Clas--I have my automated external defibrillator warming up right here for that poor sternum of yours. How about if I e you my beeper number? By the way, ALL of the oleander's parts are toxic.

Clas: And this time I say it "Claus", okay? Not like this morning when I was so tired and I said it like Claaaas. Anyway, I was wondering the same thing about Babylon Sistah.
She could have not told us and we wouldn't have known and that's the way I think it should be. But in this country, Black is so special. It is more special than what I am. I am a Northern European American. I am a Swedish Scottish English Russian-Jewish American. But on all the applications we fill out here, there is always a box that says Race. And then there are choices: AfricanAmerican, AsianAmerican, LantinAmerican, NativeAmerican and finally...white. Am I white? No, I am rather peach colored. And why are they asking this anyway? I always decline to answer. I write in the margins sometimes that I refuse to answer because it is irrelevent, or should be. And I ask them to judge me on my abilities alone. If everyone did that, they would be forced to, wouldn't they?
I am a Northern European American!! No, fuck that.
I am proud to be just an American.

Anyway, concerning Fagen's reluctance to sing in early concerts, that phenomenon is still in full effect. Now he has the lady backups doing the work for him. Look at Bodhisattva from Alive in America for a particularly glaring example.
I don't know if Don and Walt are racist or not, but the fact that they employ Black musicians could be taken as evidence supporting them being racist. Aren't Blacks stereotypically seen as being naturally musical? Now, if they had a black manager or engineer, things would be different.

Quickie since my head still hurts......
mrs. dude pointed this one out to me since I don't read this anymore, but here's one of the more bizarro SD references I've seen.
In the recent issue of the trade journal, Bank Marketing, the editor does a story of "sales culture" and whom soes he reference but our boys Walter and Donald. What song does he refernece throughout the article. You'll never get it and neither will your HAL 9000, Dannut, the song? "You gotta walk it like you talk it?" I'll give you more tomorrow. But for those who have access to this puppy, it's truly stange to see D+W as pace setters for creating a sales culture in an organization.
Also, the editor left off Locke as the third composer for the lyrics. Locke is listed on the liner notes of the album.

I've noticed that there are a few sd songs that refer to robbing the cradle. So i agree that the intent on jungle music was not racist but refering to the girls age or lets hope it was a girl!
If all of don's lyrics are non-fiction then he's lead a great life, I wish i could do all kinds of drugs and screw young hot chicks, and still get paid a fortune and live in hawaii!
But the only thing that scares me is what r the lyrics going to be like on any further sd efforts? I mean they have lived out the really fun parts of their lives, unless they still screw young chicks then more power to them! Seriously I things r going really good in your life than there is nothing interesting to write about! You cant write any bluesy type of lyrics, what can you write about how hot is is on the beach today or how bad the service was by the cabanna boy! Thats why i think Wille Nelsons next cd will be great, he lost almost everything to the IRS, Hes a bitter mother fucker right now! Another good example of living the good life is jon bon jovi, he could write a song to save his life now. He's been married for ever, no money problems, and is loved by almost everyone, so whats there to write about. Maybe someone should call the IRS on him to get some more good music from him again!
