The horn arrangement/fill-ins are worth the price of admission alone!

@sixstringfretter Perhaps odder still is that I'm feeling certain Letterman doesn't have a clue who they really are. Who are you, Mr. Letterman, and what have you accomplished that will transcend the generations like Steely Dan compositions? [:^)

@SupernalOne How well stated. Bravo, thanks.

Well done. I've been playing a jazz guitar ad lib to your track here. One of my favorite quirky Steely Dan songs, I'm pleased that you posted your version; at least there's some record of it in cyberspace. Bien joue'.

@JamaisMEC Ha, I'm replying to myself, but mostly for others who want to know who this musician is: Jim Beard is the keyboardist. Yay!

@Winterstick549 They are great for keeping Time Out of Mind.

@elmattavision I'm going nuts with the hissing sound on my Fender XD SuperChamp. Have you experienced this? If so, how did you resolve it? I can't hear any hissing on your vid. Jeez, this is maddening.

Show de bola, Valeria. Bien joue'!

Herrington NAILED it!

Garafolo is not a fave of mine, but she is right on in this case about the insensitivity and lack of compassion of ideologues like Rush, Hannity, Hasselbeck, O'Reilly and Beck...very much like the characteristics common to the Nazis held in prison in Nuremberg, as analyzed by an Army major-psycho...

The uniformed consider CNN and MSNBC to be "leftist" news sources! LMFAO! Y'all wouldn't know a corporate-owned entity if it slapped you in the Mitt Romney. CNN has proven it's worthless just by the company it keeps: Wolf Blitzer being the poster boy for CNN.

That fart was the most accurate and serious thing Erin Burnett's said in her lifetime.

@tompson3 That's absolutely right. The difference between OWS and, say, a Republican lovefest, is that there is a refreshing absence of Stepford rhetoricists at an OWS protest.

A smug, self-satisfied, useful idiot for the burgeoning criminal elements infesting investment speculation. Or as a good friend says, "Just another day proving the Plutocratic Sociopaths need to be run out of town, tarred and feathered, into the arms of their neo-fascist Bilderberger co-conspira...

Idiotically? Idiotically?

Erin...banJOES? That settles it; you're not only not one of us, you're not human.

Cluelessly? Cluelessly?

Her smug arrogance is only exceeded by her engagement/marriage to one of the Executives of the Plutocratic Sociopaths who've robbed our Treasury with impunity.

BanJOs? WTF, Erin. Cluelessly? Cluelessly?

You (two) should seriously tour together, I agree. There is a natural connection that is undeniable. Perhaps I can help you on my freless Jazz bass? Show de bola!

si si belle... merci beaucoup...

@6bender I've used a Bugera V22 for blues/jazz, too, and it's quite a surprisingly well-made amp with a purring blues tone. A lotta folks apparently trash the amp because of tube noise (according to comments on Youtube and elsewhere), when all that's really need is either 1) a good bench check f...

J'aime la femme blonde...meme qu'elle ait peut-etre 50 maintenant

Ah...Don Henley sportin' his mega-mellow Bob Ross doo! Let's paint this little western scene...

You blew your chance to sign her to your label, Stratman!

@CamiloSanchez1979 Sure...it's called "clueless." With a clueless attorney, you have enough to wah-ree about.

The guy reminds me of Brad Pitt...on massive ball-shrinking dosages of estrogen. His repetitive "...and?...and?" is WAY over the top for a guy, but is very appropriate for a ballbusting nagger...proving that the script writer and commercial director haven't a clue about normal male behavior.

hahahaha Love the daisy chain jam!

J'aime la partie que consiste de la chanson Russe, "Ochy Cherniyah" ou Les Yeux Obscures. Gentil.

I must flee the USA, return to France or even Serbia! Get ready, ladies.

Eu se que vou te amar, Lisa. [;^)

@sdflow I'm confused that you're confused. How could it be anything other than a compliment...although the word "compliment" is seriously understated.

Mon Dieu! Comment que j'ai tel amor pour des Latinas! Ses giambes belles et ses visage bonitas! Oh, et j'aime M. Bocelli, aussi....

@matthewdnorris I recently learned that "Gretchen" was indeed a character in Ross MacDonald's "The Goodbye Look," some characters of which enjoyed Cuban Breezes. The story doesn't match the story in this song, however. Still...how he weaves his immense literary knowledge into these provocative ...

I haven't played country-western in YEARS (and I mean years), and you inspire me to give my jazz boxes a rest, pull out my lonely Fender Strat and get pickin' and grinnin'! If you don't follow your guitar-playing heart you'll disappoint a LOT of young men, Iowa. KEEP IT UP!

@TheTimananda Sorry, I'm not a native English speaker. I mean that you can hear the Metheny style.

Love those Fender Classic Player Strats...awesome rig.

They are available at Guitar Center for around $350. I own one and am impressed with the clarity of the tone. I use it to record bossa-nova guitar accompaniment, so I appreciate that I can hear each note of the triad chords I use quite clearly. The one I own has a mahogany neck, which is not d...

Damn fine work! LOVED IT (and I'm a jazzer)!

@CatieDalleLydon Perhaps I can help. I've owned an AF-75 (and stupidly traded it in). The redburst is beautiful. Acoustically you won't be too impressed. The woods are maple laminate and are essentially designed to suppress feedback, which it does fairly well until reaching above 80 decibels....

I have owned my AK-95 (honeyburst) for nearly three years, and love it. The flamed sycamore backs and sides are breathtaking, and the spruce top has very tight grains that provide an excellent sound-carrying medium. It's not as deep as an L-5 type, so acoustically it isn't that remarkable. Plu...
