What is "Steely Dan"
OK get your keyboards ready. Todays Quiz was orginally a question I posed to Mr Olsen on another Board. It was deemed a little to obscure for them. Lets see if this group is a little brighter than that lot over on the other Board.
Todays Question is: What is "Steely Dan"? A. The name Mr Olsen gave his Underwood Typewriter. B. The name of a Rock Band. C. An adult sex toy. D. All of the above

Steely Dan III from Yokohama?
Starred in a paragraph of the Naked Lunch by William Burroughs. The band took the name from him/it. Watch out for the Great Slashtub!tch

I am due to bring him in from NYC next Wednesday. He and his wife are always a pleasure to fly. We don't normally fly him for the tours, but as a favor from one of my clients, a music exec.
