willland Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Aja if I must pick one but "Two Against Nature" has a great catalog of songs also. They sure were/are masters at recording/mixing. Bill 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigStewMan Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 MANY years ago, i met this dude at my sister’s house. He was married to my sister’s friend. He was a guitar player, and had worked with Walter Becker and Donald Fagen. I’m not sure on which album though. I’m racking my brain trying to remember the guy’s name and i’m drawing a blank. i’d text my sister and ask; but, then i’d get all those “how are you” questions that i don’t like to answer. I guess this post of was no significance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wvu80 Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Aja. I'm a huge Steve Gaad fan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gottajam Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 "FM" was always one of my favorites by them (Josie is THE Favorite), but was never listed on a studio CD. You HAD to go buy one of their Greatest Hits CDs to get FM. I found a copy of their "A Deceade of Steely Dan " CD available on "Ultimate Master Disc" 24k gold.
