@basehead617 I think Walter is actually quite patient and good natured here to an interviewer who is out of his depth. He sounds like a college-level student who asks the most uninspired list-like questions that Walter answers, when he could have just brushed them off. "List the songs you did in concert"? Come on.....
Ive always thought that walter becker was more like donalds quality control manager rather than anything to with his chops.. i mean he's a good guitar player but sort of "dispensible" as a musician ?? imho anyway
@basehead617 Ummm, if instinct serves its the interviewer is the asshole... maybe just a bit of a fish out of water by trying to get freeze dried, compartmentalized answers from someone who is a whole lot more than that

@dwilmer7 Walter is the garlic in Steely Dan's pasta. Fagen's solo stuff is kinda bland iMho.
