4. first steely dan release purchase:
Katy Lied on vinyl
5. first steely dan remaster you purchased:
Don't have one...have original releases.

7. best guitar solo/lead and for which song:

16. main reason steely dan did not travel over the pond or all the way over the pacific as part of the 2003 tour:

speaking of halloween, my story for today - back in 1989 or 90, we went to a halloween party (as Calvin and Suzie, of course) and there was this guy dressed in a dark navy blue sweatpants outfit with tiny gold and silver star stickers all over it - when i asked him what he was supposed to be he said:

Message: cara mia: After the intro, Your Gold Teeth II is 3/4...
Howard: I'll have to give that another listen at home - it's possible for the "solo" they switched channels. The tone sounds nearly the same...I was thinking about the bending, but it's so light... Denny played in the left channel and Skunk in the right during verse, chorus, and bridge. It's possible Skunk switched to the left channel for the solo and Denny joined in on the right at 2:08...
...but sometimes Denny makes a sound the sounds like bending. For example, at the beginning of Parker's Band, Denny has a "crunchY' intro with some warping...but i think that's sliding the fingers through a fret where the pluck or end of the reverb occurs around the ridge (sorry, forgot the real name) that divides the frets...

cara mia (like in 2VN, but my favorite moniker because it's my 13 year old bichons' names)
2. how did you find this place and why do you still show up?
In 1997 I learned over at the Joni playground that one Walter Becker was questionably dissing my Joan (see his notes to his publicist back in '97 with his joke-clamoring to get into the RRHofF), so I checked this place out... saw a LOT of misogynistic bullshit from certain posters while scrolling through, decided to stay and post parodies of Joni's tunes with references to The Dan in mostly benign teasing. At that time used the handle of "Nuthin'HereButtHisStory" or some such cumbersome thing, mainly lurked until word of the new one came out in 1999, met other yellow page fans for the 2000 tour and continue to lurk and meet Dan Fans when travel opportunities arise. I've loved the Dan since 1972 while smokin' with the boys upstairs in my college dorms.
3. last cd purchase?
Luther's latest which kind of disappointed. I hope he recuperates and performs again. His live shows are great.
4. first steely dan release purchase:

23. have you thought of a career in advertising?

Two guitar players on the AMD solo? Hadn't realised that, but as the second half of the solo is a two-part guitar thing this is possible. Could also be the same player multi-tracked?
One thing though - the *first* part of the solo is the only bit that *does* use a bend. Since Denny was a strictly no-bends, no-vibrato kind of guy, surely it must be Skunk that plays the first half of the solo, with denny (perhaps) joining him in the second half?

2. how did you find this place and why do you still show up?
I first found the chat room and during my first time there, I saw people asking me if I ever go to the guestbook. Not knowing what that was at the time, I asked, and then I have been checking this place out for almost 3 years now. I still show up because I have met some great people here and have been made aware of things that I would never have known about otherwise. I have gained so much from my time here that those few idiots who try to make other peopleÆs life miserable here (I guess theyÆre trying to share the wealth à) donÆt have any impact on me. ItÆs sort of like a red light at an intersection on your way to where you want to go. ItÆs a minor inconvenience à and trivial at best.
3. last cd purchase?

At least 3, maybe as many as 5 à SHAMELESS PLUGGING and Etc.
14. what is a storm surge
The last thing the captain sees before his vessel is scuttled.
15. post a poem here to share
The first thing that came into my mind was Monty PythonÆs rendition of Mary Had A Little Lamb:
à and it goes like this à
Mary had a little lamb
And it was always gruntinÆ
She tied it to a five bar gate
And Kick itÆs little Cunt in
û Dedicated to Rodeo Girl
16. main reason steely dan did not travel over the pond or all the way over the pacific
as part of the 2003 tour
Possibly due to scheduling conflicts, but, mainly à insanity

18. your vote for the winner of the congeniality award during the steely dan tour?

I feel like I've been through hell and back. The fireline was 45 miles long, with 100 foot flames, and wind gusts whipped the fire into flame tornadoes (I think they showed that on CNN). I don't even think Dante imagined what that looks like.

But thatÆs enough of me.
We took a car ride at the weekend & this gave me the chance to EMG-ASIZE Oliver, he fell asleep as did Dan, a comment on the car temp & not the music.

Are you saying there are two sologuitars on the solo, the solo over the verse chords?
I've got my copy down at the C-house. Have to take a listen when I get down there.
I love those songs, they got a special place in my heart, Ricki, Any Major Dude, Night by Night, Barrytown. It's cool playing along with them.
One cool thing is the slide guitar (?) coming in in the last verse of Barrytown, kind of keeping one note over the chord's A - Bm - D - E/D
But I turn off the CD when it reaches East St Louis Toodleooooo...

Message: Skunk's accents don't come in until the chorus (chord strums) and then second verse...not in verse 1. Confirmed there are 2 acoustic guitars (easiest to hear in the intro and first verse). The one in the right channel is a little more rhythmic so it MIGHT be Parks leaving Benay in the right channel.

Left Hand/Right Hand: A/G-B-C#-E ... this is a very tight, and simply constructed chord that is actually a fairly complex chord. But it has that signature Fagen-Mu chording sound that is all over their music from that era ... mainly, the first 3 studio albums. I hope this helps.
Also, the 1996 version of "Dude" was updated and the arrangement was a bit more complex than the original studio version.

Message: Clas - the chords that go under that guitar hook on AMD are just plain "5 chords" aren't they, i.e they just play perfect fiftths built on A and G?
Playing G9 instead of G7 just before the guitar hook starts sounds fine to me - I'd have to listen to the song again to check, but it may be that the guitar plays G7 and the keyboards use G9.
Angel - I had always figured that the electric guitar work on this track was probably shared between Jeff Skunk Baxter (solo) and Denny Dias (guitar hook). BUT - the credits page at sd.com doesn't mention either of these guys for the album. Can this be right? Anyone?

I had it happen to me a few years ago. I received email threats and other correspondence from someone in management with the rock group Journey (Journey happens to be my all-time favorite band and Steve Perry is my all-time favorite singer). This person not only slandered Steve Perry all over the place, telling me personal, intimate secrets about him and the other band members that NOBODY has a right to know, but he also stalked me on other web sites, sent emails and threats to me, (which I printed out and have a stack of over 120 pages to prove it), and then, as he promised he would, he sent me malicious code, and crashed my hard drive. I had my hard drive traced by some computer geek friends of mine, and they told me my hard drive crash did, indeed, come from malicious code sent to me through the Journey web site. Subsequently, after I pestered them all for several months about it, the guy was fired. He's currently been banished to working in Europe because he's been blackballed from working in the music industry here.
But, he's still out there and still causes other friends of mine, and fellow Journey fans, a lot of grief and harrassment. He may never go away, but stalkers CAN be stopped.
My advice: print out any and all correspondence that you receive, even if it's instant messages. Copy them and paste them into an email and send it to yourself, then print it, and keep track of all the harrassment with dates, URL addresses, etc.
Then, go to the police, like I did, and put it on file. If the damage done to you is $40K or more, the FBI also can be contacted, and they will investigate it. Once the information is on file with the police, a warrant can be sent out for an arrest, and/or it can be used in a court of law against that person later on. I learned all this when it happened to me.
Then, send all the correspondence to several other trusted friends around the country, like I did, and the next time you hear from that stalker, let him/her know that any further harrassment will result not ONLY in his arrest and prosecution, but all the emails he sent will be published by various friends in various states, on many other web sites.
That's how I dealt with it. You have the power to stop jerks like that. To this day, my stalker jerkfaced ex-Journey employee still harrasses other people, but when I threatened to PUBLISH all his correspondence on another Journey web site that I volunteer on, he stopped bugging me.
I still love Journey and the music of Steve Perry, and this one human being will never take that away from me. Don't give anybody that power over you. no matter what.
As a matter of fact, I met with Journey's road manager in June and told him of this incident. He was suddenly my bestest friend after I explained I had evidence against the management of the band, and would use it if necessary. :)
And in a related note, last weekend, I met and interviewed Gregg Rolie (founder of Santana and Journey) and Kevin Chalfant (lead singer of The Storm), who are both related to Journey.......I met Mike Carabello also, who is in Gregg's band, and is also a founder of Santana. It was VERY cool, because THEY are both Rock-N-Roll Hall of Famers, but THEY treated me with kindness and respect. It's a shame that Journey's management couldn't do the same.
The losers who stalk and harrass people on the internet are sad human beings who need to feel what little power and self esteem they can from the abuse they cause others. Decent people, whether famous or not, don't feel the need to do such things. You have the power to make them stop. Use it.

Message: Aja, lp, and evyone else stuck with me in these fires ~ I wish you and your homes well.
Up by me, we were first threatened by the Val Verde fire. That slunk southwest to become the Piru fire, (or maybe that was a seperate entity, I'm not sure). I do know, though, that those went even further southwest to become the Fillmore, and Simi Valley fires.
Now we are being threatened again. With wind shifts, the fire has backtracked and crept to Porter Ranch and Stevenson's Ranch. The air up by me is filled with smoke ~ you're gagging as soon as you leave the house.
This is just horrible. I feel scared for myself and for my family and friends, all at the same time while I feel sorry for all of those other people who have lost people and property. And I also feel sorry for the firemen. These men and women have been working around the clock and in some cases, with no rest, or even food. They are so spread out because of the enormity of these fires, that that can't concentrate their efforts on one particular hotspot.
We need help. I've heard that Nevada is sending 22 firemen. But we need help from elsewhere in the state. Sacramento. San Francisco. Fresno. San Jose. Oakland. How about sending one truck company from each large metropolis? Even if they only sent one truck and six people from each of those cities I just mentioned, there'd be at least 30 extra people to help, even if that help is only to work while the other firemen slept. How about Arizona? And more help from the armed forces? This is an emergency situation.
It's also time for Bush to really step up. He is not good in emergency situations. We've all seen that before. FEMA is good, but let's stop these fires before everyone in the Southland needs it.

Message: The current credits for Tortfeasor's AMD are (1) W1P on lead vocals (and perhaps a backing track that has been recorded but I REALLY don't like); (2) John Would on rhythm guitar (leads have not yet been added); (3) Ira on bass and harmony vocal; (4) Michael Kinkade on drums and other percussion.
John Would will be adding lead guitar and perhaps some keys. Also, we've been in touch with someone very special who has tentatively agreed to play a lead guitar track BUT who will not be available until 12/1 to do so. But since the deadline is 12/15, it looks like that's where it's gonna go.
For those of you who have or who have heard A Fair Forgery of Pink Floyd, John Would produced the majority of the tracks and played guitar on High Hopes, Pigs on the Wing, Wish You Were Here, Money (lead vocal too), Breathe, Young Lust, Time, Have a Cigar and San Tropez. He also played accordion, keyboards, banjo and whistle on the foregoing and several other tracks. If you saw the recent VH1 special on Warren Zevon, you will see Mr. Would in the two brief concert clips -- in one of them John is helping to carry Warren off the stage.
In the past 24 months, in addition to A Fair Forgery, John Would has produced (and provided backing musical tracks to) the following albums: Brood or Change by 50 Cent Haircut; I Love You to Death by Yortoise; Left of Me by Sally Semrad; Long Way by Courtney Fairchild; a completed and soon to be released/named album by Danny Allen; a Stanely Recordings compilation entitled "Stanley Room Only"; a completed and soon to be named/released album by Graham Parker (including a track with Lucinda Williams on background vocals); a partially completed and soon to be named/released album by Tom Freund; and at least two tracks on the upcoming and soon to be released album by the Mike Keneally Band.

Anyway, I came in to work today to try and get life back to normal, but it's even worse up here. The fireline was about 3-4 miles away, and the air is thick with smoke and ash. You learn to live with this type of condition out in the back country here, but to see it in a business park is startling. This was the first time a fire has come into the city, and it was unimaginable. I was driving home on Sunday morning and suddenly found myself facing a wall of flame many miles long on one side of the highway, billowing black smoke stretching miles into the sky. It was so dark I needed my headlights on. I started to feel panicky, worried that the fire would jump the 10 lane highway. 30 minutes later, it did exactly that.
So far, 300,000+ acres burned, probably over 1,000 houses lost. And Governor Ineffective didn't request assistance in a timely manner. A significant portion of San Diego's firefighters had been sent up to San Bernardino to fight the fires there, and the few that were left couldn't do much but watch the fire engulf entire neighborhoods. Meanwhile, tankers and other available assistance stood idle. Would somebody capable of governing California please come forward?

Message: W1P: Who did the guitar work on AMD?
I am OK here.
Winds have died down a bit, so we hope the firefighters get a handle on some of the fires. Any one of these are killers, but having them all, is making things even worse. Getting information is even more of a problem. Whatever fire is closer to you, seems (perception wise) to not be getting enough air time on the TV and Radio. The fact is, there are too many things going on here right now. Add to that the transit strike and grocery strikes and it is utter chaos. I had my ride call me this morning at 6AM to tell me her car was stolen overnight. Probably because of the transit strike. It leaves me without a ride again. Sigh....

Any Major Dude covered by Tortfeasor. A tortfeasor is one who commits a civil wrong -- that is, a wrong actionable in civil court not necessarily a criminal act (though a criminal act can also be a tort). My vocal "performance" on this track qualifies as a tort (not a cake). I'm not making excuses but two things, aside from lack of talent, contributed to this tort -- one, the smoke from the fires really affected me and two I decided to sing the song in my "upper register" because the lower register was boring and dreary. Song doctor John Would is doing everything he can to make the song listenable. There are a number of studio tricks he has that may do the job.

It's true that I was banned from the Greenroom a while back but I don't
think that Hoops knew who I was when he did it because I was logged in
under another name. I was pretty pissed about it at the time but I guess
Hoops takes his Steely Dan seriously (as many do). I take Steely Dan
seriously too but I also realize that the artists themselves are a couple
of funloving jokesters and that's what I really like about them.
I've been back a couple of times since and was able to have a pretty good
time so I guess Jim's lightened up a bit.
LP,
More people would take Christina Aguilera seriously if she would finally
make up her mind whether she wants to be a musical artist or a stripper.
Her "Words Can't Bring Me Down" single was actually pretty good. The kid
is a bit twisted but if she ever settles down and decides to consider
music as a serious artform in itself rather than a vehicle for visual
shock she might actually become something respectable(musically speaking).
This of course can be said of many of the newer post-video artists.
They simply have to decide whether they are interested in music or show
biz.

Bush Says U.S. Progress in Iraq Is Making Insurgents 'Desperate' and Fueling Deadly Attacks
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON Oct. 27 ? President Bush on Monday blamed rising violence in Iraq on U.S. progress being made there, saying coalition successes are making insurgents more desperate.
Bush spoke only hours after bombings in postwar Baghdad killed dozens of people and after conferring at the White House with the top U.S. general and civilian official in Iraq.
"The more progress we make on the ground, the more free the Iraqis become, the more electricity that's available, the more jobs are available, the more kids that are going to school, the more desperate these killers become," Bush told reporters.

Does he even realize how ludicrous this sounds? Are are we going to start judging our success in Iraq by how many people die each week?

Message: Hey All,
For the record ~ I like Walter's voice. I actually like it a real lot. I bought 11TOW back in '95, I think, and never previously hearing his voice, I was stunned. Stunned at how weird it sounded. My preconcieved expectation was that he was supposed to sound more like Donald than he did ~ which isn't anything like Donald at all. Generally when you listen to bands with multiple singers, they don't sound all that drastically different from one another. Lennon/McCarthy. Jerry and Bobby are different, but not so much that it's jarring. Hell, there are times I listen to a Utopia album, and I have trouble figuring out who's singing lead. So, back then, I really didn't like it, and I only listened to the cd maybe two or three times, then put it away for a while.
Then one day, I put it in the cd carousel, a song came on, and I found that I enjoyed it. Yeah, he's not Donald, but who is? And there are many people who find Donald's voice unlistenable, too. The Rolling Stone record guide from 1991 makes a none-too-subtle jab at his distinctive sound.
Walter's voice fits his music. And his music is much different from the overall "Steely Dan" sound. Donald's isn't. Every song on both of Don's solo cd's could very easily be part of a Dan record. Not so much any of Walter's, though, and that's not a bad thing. This might sound out of left field, but there's always been something about Walt's solo album that sounds like Wall Of Voodoo, especially Surf And/Or Die.
Anyway, that's my two cents for the day. I've got 11TOW in the player right now, and I'm ready to start my day.
Happiness.

Message: Call me crazy (many have before...) but I kinda like Walt's singing.
Okay he's a bit flat, but he did a great job on "Hard Up Case" and
I thought he did a good job with "Haitian Divorce" on tour.
I think we're so used to identifing Donald Fagen's voice with Steely Dan
that we just can't see anyone else delivering the vocals for an SD song.
Walt's "Surf And/Or Die" on 11 Tracks Of Whack was a great song and I
don't really think it would have come off the same way with Donald on
vocals.
Think about this for a minute...
How many supposedly "great" vocalists are there that you just can't stand
to listen to? Here's a couple for you.
* Whitney Houston *
There are guitarists who can overplay a solo and Whitney can certainly
OVERSING a song can't she?
* Celine Dion *
Just saying her name makes me cringe...
* Faith Hill *
Need I say more?
The trick to vocalizing a song doesn't necessarily come from ones ability
to hold a note with perfect pitch. It has to do with the delivery.
Have you ever listened to anyone cover a Bob Dylan song and it just
doesn't affect you the same way as when Bob sings it? Check out
Sheryl Crow's version of "Mississipi" and then listen to Bob's version
of it on his "Love and Theft" cd. Who did a better job with this song?
And so I think Walt's voice is fine for the type of music he writes.

Someone called out to you
And it sounded just like crying
On a street where nobody
Even knows your name
Your mind was getting high on the sweet air
As your spirit was flying
Steam rising from the sidewalks
Of New Orleans after an evening rain
Steam rising from the sidewalks
After an evening rain
And it only made the heat
Feel like it was walking even closer
As you headed up St. Charles
To catch a streetcar named Desire
Young couple struggling in the doorway
Like he was trying to force her
In the distance you swore
You could hear them open fire
Tires squealing in the distance
As you heard them open fire
CHORUS:
Walk on, walk on
Don't look back
Don't ask questions
Don't you try to understand
Walk on, walk on
Straight back down to your hotel room
Where she lies waiting for her man
You're so afraid you might be losing love
That is makes you worry
And you wonder if she's ever seen this
Kind of fear in you
And you think of that young couple
In the doorway
And it makes you hurry
You wonder what kind of fear
They might be living through
Yeah you wonder if
They saw that fear in you
Was listening to John Hiatt, and for some reason this song seemed fitting. xxxxxxxxxx Moll

Woodface:
Fall at Your Feet
Whispers and Moans
Four Seasons in One Day (huge hit overseas - tight, emotional harmonies with Tim and Neil Finn)
There Goes God (tangentially related to the Godwhacker theme - a bit funnier though)
As Sure as I Am
Together Alone:
In My Command
Nails in My Feet (possibly Neil's best song)
Pineapple Head (long lost Rubber Soul song?)
Walking on the Spot
Distant Sun
Catherine Wheels
Private Universe
Fingers of Love
finishes with a rousing title track with amori rhtyms and singing - "Biko"-like

Even more Iroically, Al Gore dumbfoundedly did not run center, he ran to the way left, despite his centrist voting record (voted for the Gulf War I; Tipper and Al espoused the WARNING labels on music CDs...and oh yes he invented the internet...cost him the election because he attempted to be a radical populist, although Gore was in reality a technocrat similar to Bush41...

Rain Parade - early - late '80 's west coast (of the U.S.) psychedelia - the real deal; amazing songwriting and playing, one of the best bands "OF ALL TIME!!!" Unfortunately they only put out 2 1/2 studio albums and a live one, but they every song is a jem...
The Stranglers - their incredible stylistic diversity and outstanding musianship is usually overlooked; not only could they play blunt punk rock, they were extremely experimental (to their commercial detriment), and occasionally reached "steely" levels of sophistication
Buffalo Springfield - "for what it's worth", they were one of the top 10 bands of the 60's... Their songwriting was *better* than the Byrds (and that's not to put down the Byrds as much as to demontrate the consistent excellence of BF); yeah, everybody knows about Young, Stills, and Furay, but Bruce Palmer is also one of the great unsung bass players in rock history. I think they were better than even they knew or they would have put out more albums (2 and the ever popular solo tracks/contractual obligation compilation) before splitting up
Orbital - not just great electronic music, but great music, which is what really matter's right? Pretty well known in Europe but still a "huh?" over here...
There are some newer things like The Boards of Canada, Calexico, and Zero 7 but I suppose it's too early to tell if they are underrated...

bands who had such a critically and commercially successful album that another masterpiece was ignored by comparison
steely dan - Katy Lied overshadowed by Aja
Joe Jackson - Body and Soul overshadowed by Night and Day
Elvis Costello - Imperial Bedroom overshadowed by the first 3
Beatles - Magical Mystery Tour overshadowed by Sgt Peppers
Talking Heads - fear of Music by Remain in Light
Eno - Before and After Science by Another Green World
Fleetwood Mac - Mystery to Me by Rumours
Floyd - Wish You Were Here by Dark Side
I could go on and on

Message: jjeff: Can't say I care much for Blue Rodeo's recorded work. In fact, I tend to lump them into the same alt country category as the Jayhawks and Whiskeytown. It's OK, but they all aspire to be Wilco... It's my wife who's a big fan. I will say I really enjoy them live. Remind me in many ways of the Dead.

Yes, you have to wonder if you are influenced by this strange Canadian rule. Some great music comes out of Canada for sure, and there's no doubt that without the rule you'd just become an extension of U.S. media-Clear Channel crap, but I'll bet you have to listen to an awful lot of shit too.
Canada produces some great music. Some of my favorite Canadian artists include Tragically Hip, Bruce Cockburn, Cowboy Junkies, Barenaked Ladies, and, of course, Rush...

Personally, living in Texas, I hate DST. 100¦ and blazing sun at 8 pm in the summer are not picnic weather nor fun. I don't dig waking up in the dark either the last few weeks.
jjeff: I would say that Graham Parker was a very underappreciated artist - the critics dug him in Squeezing Out Sparks, etc.
Underappreciated in sales (this is relative):
Most jazz artists in the last 35 years
In the US Neil Finn/Crowded House/Split Enz have not sold as well in the US as the UK or downunder...IMHO Mr. Finn is the finest songwriter besides Becker & Fagen since the Beatles...If you think "Now We're Getting Somewhere" was representative of his best stuff, you are in for a pleasant surprise: the only 2 Crowded House hits in America were off the first and
