And then an old friend from my college radio days who I told about the youngun who didn't know from Frank immediately responded with this song, so now it's on my mental soundtrack as well. TBH I think it's a safe bet the youngun wouldn't know from Steely Dan either. Or maybe even Aretha. Ah well, time flies when you're having. ("Typo" intended.)
"This is a 90s live gig with #VernonReid (Living Colour, Zig Zag Trio), #DennisChambers (#P-Funk, Santana, #SteelyDan), and JP Bourelly (#MilesDavis, Cassandra Wilson) and is an hour of both accessible and experimental jams of original material, as well as some very eccentric covers of The Meters‘ “Cissy Strut” and Sonny Sharrock’s “Dick Dogs”.
This old favorite is back again on my mental soundtrack, ever since I unearthed one of my Steely Dan concert swag shirts while unpacking (see previous toot for photo).
Professional musician most of my life and never heard the connection between Van Morrison’s “Domino” and Steely Dan’s “My Old School” until today. #VanMorrison#SteelyDan#Music

In the mornin' you go gunnin'
For the man who stole your water
And you fire till he is done in
But they catch you at the border #arecordeveryday#steelydan
