Denny Dias

Denny just isn’t a high energy 79 year old.

This is SD’s longtime engineer’s daughter with Denny. She and her sidekick were annoying, but Denny didn’t seem to mind.

Interesting CBAT cut trivia revealed.

Edit

Denny was maybe bored with answering Rick's  questions that were asked a dozen times?

Dias strikes me as a brilliant, but very low key individual.  I saw nothing in that interview that made me think anything was wrong with the guy.  Interesting interview.  Thanks for sharing.

I've been listening to Steeley Dan since the mid 1970's and while I enjoy all their albums as well as Donald Fagen's solo albums, my favorite Steeley Dan albums are from  Can't Buy A Thrill through  Gaucho.  IMHO that was when these talented musicians were in their prime and creating a sound that was distinctly their own. No other band at the time sounded like the Dan, and as was the case with Denny Dias, Donald and Walter always selected incredibly talented musicians to join them in the studio.  More than fifty years on I still love their music! 👍

Thought it was interesting to discover the part about the guitar solo on Do It Again and how that came about.   And if you watch vids he does not use the DanElectro.

Thanks for the heads up.  I’m watching it now. Very cool.
