Very nice jazz tune written by the great duo of Fagen & Becker. Both sax players are great!

This tune is based on a Burt Bacharach tune called "Land of Make Believe" (not to be confused with the samba Chuck Mangione gave the same name). I was delighted to hear that number on a digital music station sung by Dionne Warwick- bebop in reverse (I know the bop line very, very well, but couldn't sing Bacharach's melody on demand).

Donald and Walter deserve props for putting this together- a true jazz classic, indeed.

Wow! Great tune. I didn't know those Steely Dan guys wrote such a jazzy-sax number.
