I was driving in my car (but not smoking my cigar) and had WXPN (U Penn radio station) on and heard a number of Steely Dan songs and hoped that it did not mean something like this. But it did, unfortunately. I never got to see/hear them live, did see Fagan playing piano at one of the Barn concerts at Levon's place in Woodstock, and saw him at a recording studio across from where my daughter works in NYC (I walked by and simply said "Hey 19", he looked and smiled). I think my favorite disc is Aja. No, I know it is. A real loss for music lovers and admirers of great songwriting and great musicianship.
