RIP Walter Becker.
My summers growing up were full of Steely Dan's music. My dads best friend had a pool where we spent almost every weekend, and was a huge Steely Dan fan. He'd play their music all the time, so naturally I became a fan thru exposure in my youth. RIP Walter!
What a great song. My parents used to have these songs at our lake cabin. 70s music is timeless.
Sometimes these songs come on at random times and take me back to happy, innocent times. Im grateful to artists like Walter for making my experience on this planet so awesome!

And a pretty hilarious epistolarian as well.
