In Memoriam: Walter Becker

We remember another great who has left the earth and has joined the angel band.  Rest In Peace, co-founder and guitarist of Steely Dan, Walter Becker.  Yours truly has seen Steely Dan play, twice, and both of those shows were indeed memories that will be held forever.  Here is a tribute from Rolling Stone magazine, including videos of some of their biggest songs such as "Reelin' In The Years", "Peg", and "Black Friday".

We remember Walter, with a great Steely Dan song.  Check out "Pretzel Logic", the title track to an album by the same name released in 1974.

Rest In Peace, Walter Becker. 

An addendum to this post.  Here is a version of "Pretzel Logic" featuring Steve Winwood on Hammond organ, from a show at Wembley Arena in London, in February, 2019.
