Huge Dan fan and Rick brings out the best inside stories!

These guys really pushed the envelope with a very unique sound, quirky lyrics, and some of the finest musicians of the 1970s. Denny Dias, Skunk Baxter, Larry Carlton, Purdie, Steve Gadd... Whew! A big part of the soundtrack of my youth along with early Chicago, Stevie Wonder, Santana, The Beatles, The Stones, Zep, Doobies, Allman Bros. and on and on.

What a ride!

My impression of Walter is that his real genius was arranging and producing. He was a solid bass player but just average as a guitarist. I am probably an average guitarist and like Walter I can't hold a candle next these other monster players who recorded with Steely Dan.
