Subject: Music
OK, I can't explain why I love the music so much, but I do. I am only 18
years old and a college student at Southern Illinois University, but the sweet
sound of Steely Dan entered my life as a young child. My father, was very
young himself when I was born, was in his late teen years and loved Steely
Dan. I remember sitting in the car, hearing the opening riff of "Reelin' in
the Years" and absolutely hating it. i thought it was just dumb "old people's
music". Well, when I came to my senses and got a clue, after growing out of
my "I think rap music is cool" 12 year old phase, I became a true sixth
grader. My teacher's name was Kevin Harris and he had each and every Steely
Dan vinyl masterpiece. I remember his favorite was "Can't Buy A Thrill" and
all he ever wanted to listen to was "Dirty Work", "Midnight Cruiser", and
"Fire In The Hole". I thought that the music was so awesome, but all the kids
in school thought I was a geek for liking it. Hell, I didn't give half a
shit, it was just great. I do like other kinds of music too, such as the
Beatles, Zepplin, Floyd, ya know, the classics. But there is not one band out
there that will ever, or could ever, compare to Steely Dan. I guarantee you I
have listened to "Aja" over 200 times. I can sing every lyric from cover to
cover from 4 albums. I tried my hardest to see you guys over the summer at
"The World" in Chicago, but I had a funeral to go to, so I had no other
option. I hope to God that you guys tour again soon because I don't want to
go too long without seeing the Dan live. Friends of mine still say "How can
you listen to this shit?" I just say, "You just don't get it." They don't, no
taste. I am just happy as hell that these albums exist and that you guys make
such good music. I had to fill a stress survey for school last week and they
asked what my favorite thing to do to relax was? Sunday morning, rain or
shine, steal Dad's Jaguar, load the CD changer with Steely Dan and drive to
our house in Indiana. Nothing sounds better than "Green Earrings" on those
Harman-Kardon speakers at 100mph. I love it. I just really want to express a
sincere thank you for creating such great music that stands in a world of its
own. Like I said before, nothing compares to Steely Dan or ever will. Thanks

Subject: The Dan
Date: Tue, 23 Dec 1997 03:20:39 -0800
I can't remember the first time I heard The Dan. It must have been when I
was listening to my uncles LP's in the basement of my grandmother's house.
I didn't know who you were, but I liked the music. Hey, I was like, what 8
or 9. I also remember seeing ads on TV for aja. After that, I'm sure I
heard The Dan here and there for years not knowing who you were.
The first time I knew who Steely Dan is was when I was in the service on a
security post guarding something or other in '90. I was in a truck, alone
and all I had was my radio. Then I heard "Black Cow". Yeah, I've heard
that song before I said. Then when it was over and I had stopped singing
along, the DJ said "Steely Dan". The next day I went out to the record
store (they don't sell records anymore, but I still call it that) and bought
the CD with the crinkled paper cover. I know I'm not good with remembering
names, but I remember how things look and feel. I'm sure there are a lot of
die hard fans screaming out something like "Greatest Hits, you moron" or
whatever the name of the CD is, but hey, that's me.
Man, I can tell you if that CD was an old LP, it would have worn out after
two months. I played it constantly. Still do, even after I've lost the CD
case and have scratches all over the CD. Even went out and bought the brand
new (at that time) Karmakiriad CD that Don Fagen put out.
Well, I've babbled enough. And to be honest, I haven't read much of what
other fans have written. I'm sure that what I've said is probably among the
same stuff.
I just wanted you to know that I have heard no other music like Steely Dan
and I really enjoyed the concert I saw at the Shoreline in Milpitas
California. It was the best. If I'm lucky, this Christmas I'll get a box
set of The Dan. I'm not really a fanatic, but I know that I'll always enjoy
whatever you put out.
Thanks

Subject: You CAN buy a thrill...
Gentlemen,
A brief note of thanks to you for helping provide me with gainful
employment over the past several years. My brother and his original
business partner started their small computer company:
"Pretzel Logic Systems"
(My goodness. Where do you suppose they got their inspiration
from?) in 1987, and it continues to operate (in Michigan) even now.
After three years with PLS, I just moved to the Left Coast, where I
have opened my own computer company. Unfortunately, since the most
appropriate Steely Dan album title is already in use, I was forced to
settle for - AJA Systems, Inc. (Suggestions by some "friends" that I
consider using "The Royal Scam" were dutifully ignored).
Over the years, those few intelligent and discerning folk who
recognized the derivation of the "Pretzel Logic" name, turned out to
be the most satisfying clients we could ask for - as any Steely Dan
fan would expect.
I have no doubt this trend will continue in my new business
incarnation, as anyone who truly appreciates your music tends to have
other admirable qualities as well. (Tho' I will admit that many of
them seem to have lost a few brain cells, that is attributable to
their having "survived" the 60's- not because they listened to your
music for all these years!)
Thanks for all the inspirations, the happy times, and most of all
your music. I wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors,
with one small caveat: Could you please title your next CD something
like "Internet Dreams"? While Pretzel Logic Systems works
brilliantly, and AJA Systems is nice, I would really appreciate a new
title that more accurately depicts what my business is really about.
Thank you for your kind consideration.
Sincerely,
Greg Howard
President
AJA Systems, Inc.

I don't think this site has anything to do with the real Dan. Why? Because
the real McCoy would not spend endless hours whining about not having a
reason to go to Cleveland. The guys I remember would tell them to stick it
in their ear. And with a jazzy beat. Are these the same iconoclasts that
spurned the Grammies in 1977? Could have guaranteed admission if they'd
just showed up back then. But no, they had integrity.
or
Worse still, this is the real Dan, and they've changed. They really are
screaming and crying. Almost as if this popularity contest means something.
And to be like everybody else, they've sold out. They have just given their
new friend and business partner Bill Gates permission to use "Home at Last"
to sell Windows ninety whatever.
"Well the
Crashing of the apps is surely passed

Subject: "Time out of Mind" question
This is great, emailing Donald Fagen and Walter Becker, you musical genii! I
have studied your music for pleasure and for much musical inspiration - I'm a
drummer and remain heavily influenced by the stellar performances that you
bludgeoned out of some of the groovin'-est musicians on the scene.
However, I have always been troubled by something. There is one snare drum
hit about half-way through "Time out of Mind" that is muffled and a bit behind
the beat - almost like you tried to punch in an overdub unsuccessfully
(perhaps to replace a lousier sounding snare hit?). What's the story on this?
My brother used to engineer at Sigma Sound studios in Philadelphia (previously
in NYC), and one of the old pro engineers bad-mouthed your SD producer
(Nichols, was it?), hurling scathing invective to the effect that he was
incompetent and that this had to be his fault.
One other problem that is particularly disturbing, concerning the high
standard of hi-fi that you have always espoused: when I bought several of
your CD's (The Royal Scam and Katy Lied in particular), under headphone
scrutiny, and it didn't take much to hear this, I heard disturbing
interference noise - like some track bleeding through at a low volume, running
fast-pitched, backwards, and most noticeably at the beginning and end of
several songs. Again, I mentioned it to the same engineer at Sigma and he
notioned towards Nichols again, rolling his eyes. He made some comment about
him doing a rotten job of transferring the tapes to CD, if I recall correctly.
I remain perplexed that my Steely Dan CD's are tainted like this. I exchanged
the CD's at the store where I bought them and the new ones had the same
problems. After three exchanges, I gave up, deciding that the problem must
have been further up on your end of the production chain somehow - that these
weren't defective CD's per se, but that this problem had to be on all of your
CD's. Does this ring a bell? Are you familiar with the noise I'm referring
to - it's pretty slight, you must be paying attention to hear it, although I'm
sure it would scream loudly at your ears. What can I do to hear these albums
on CD without that noise? Please clue me in if I have somehow missed the
ferry...
Thanks! Oh - I thoroughly enjoyed your first reunion tour, back in, ... was
it '93? I saw you in Philly, my hometown. Now I rattle the windows with your
tunes in San Diego, Ca. (Carlsbad, actually).

Dear Mr. Becker and Mr. Fagan,
My father introduced me to your music. When I was a little kid he
used to take me to all of the record stores in Minneapolis and he would
always have the radio on. Whenever a song that he like would come on he
would ask me who it was. I have a great ear for music. Usually I would
have to wait for the singing in the songs to tell him who it was. But,
when you guys came on, I knew it right away and my dad would be so
impressed.
Well, I am 18 years old now and am a Freshmam at Mankato State
University. I have all of your albums on cd. I would probably have to
say that you are two of the most original and genius musicians that I
have ever heard. I have a question for you though. What excactly would
you call the type of music that you make? I am the only person that I
know of around here that listens to your music and whenever some one
else asks what kind of music it is when I am listening to Steely Dan, I
don't know what to tell them. All I really tell them is to give you
guys an ear because your sound is great.

Don / Walt -
I know you guys might not want to hear
this right now while you're probably
firmly entrenched in the sifting phase,
but after much laboured consideration
I figured it help relieve some of the
undue stress that tends to accumulate
during long and intense bouts of creativity.
As a pop music critic of some reknown,
who's familiar with the massive integrity
of your back catalog, I think I can appreciate
the immense pressure that you both may be under.
And rather than have you guys turn out
sub-standard product, I think you should
both know that as far as the media's concerned
you have the green light to hold back on
releasing this puppy, should you find it
not quite up to snuff at the end of the
day.
Call it a dry run. Call it clearing out
the cob webs. Whatever. And if worst
comes to worst and you need to get
something out on the street because
their are mortgages in the balance
(or any "other" pending debts....),
no one's going to lay into you two
for calling the new record something
like "NOT QUITE AS GOOD AS THE THIRD ONE"
or "A PRICEY WARM UP." I'm sure we'll all
be tremndously understanding. Hey, we love

In the interim, have at it! No pressure...

Because of the insider humor, I am slightly confused with the whole event.
We are planning a HoF campaign w/Deep Purple, so they will hopefully be
inducted w/SD in 99.
Can you clarify a few points? We're SD contacted about the HoF? Did this
initiate the correspondence to the HoF, or did they just assume that they
were being inducted, as this was their first year of eligibility?
Personally, I think SD belong, and it's a shame they weren't inducted in
their first year of eligibility. DP (eligible since 93) will have the same
induction problem as far as multiple personnel in the band, although 4/5th
of the classic line-up is together with Dixie Dregs maestro Steve Morse on
Guitar.
