DO IT AGAIN (2)

It's DO IT AGAIN 2 because I wrote an earlier Post called DO IT AGAIN:

DO IT AGAIN (PREVIOUS)

DO IT AGAIN

I heard today that Walter Becker died.

I saw him and Donald Fagen perform in Auckland a few years ago. It was one of the best concerts I've been to. Marvellous.

Steely Dan, for me, defined the 1970s. I'm not a musician but I like music in various forms. Steely Dan seemed to seamlessly combine pop, jazz, blues and rock, presenting the combination in an understated and non-precocious way. They didn't indulge them selves in the way that the 'super-groups' of the era did. They were professional and accomplished and I loved them.


Songs like Do It Again, Rikki Don't Lose That Number, Reelin In The Years, The Royal Scam and many others still take me back to Wellington when I hear them.

Here's an earlier Post I wrote where 'Do It Again' had resonance:
