  1. yes, he did the same thing at our show.  That was a great performance.

    Hell yeah it was. Although I thought the drummer was a little simple and heavy. He was good, but not great.

    But hey, he had tough shoes to fill! I mean, Christ, Jeff Porcaro? Bernard Purdie? Steve Gadd? Rick Marotta? Jim Hodder?

    It's unreal how many amazing drummers Steely Dan played with.

  2. Seeing Pink Martini tomorrow night at the Atwood Concert Hall, in the Alaska Center for the Performing Arts, here in Anchorage, Alaska, US.

    Walter, I saw Steely Dan last August, at Interlochen in Michigan. One of the greatest concerts I've ever been to. When they performed "Hey Nineteen", Walter Becker started rambling on about different stuff during the instrumental bridge, and then they did this big buildup for Donald Fagen, with Becker saying, " He's the reason you're here, He's the reason I'm here, ladies and gentlemen, Donald Fagen!" And the entire band made this big push and all the lights went up while he performed a little keyboard solo. 

    Haha, it was awesome. Anyways, just wondering if they did anything like that at the concert you attended. 

  3. This morning I learned that the son of a lifelong acquaintance doesn't have much time left.  He is 22 years old and has battled cancer for the past six years.  I'm very worried for his mother.  She has been a pillar of strength throughout her son's illness.  However, her own mother died in May and I suspect she didn't let herself really grieve because she had to hold herself together for her son's sake.  What is going to happen when he dies?

    I'm sorry to hear that. Getting cancer at such a young age is just a terrible thing. A life getting cut short like that, before a person has had a chance to live a full one. 

    As you said, may he go peacefully.
