Eyes closed, stumbling around to Steely Dan

Last night was a good night for STEELY DAN.
I had to wait for ANNIKA to complete her dance class, so I walked around the deserted streets near the studio, listening to the 1975 album "KATY LIED."
It was difficult walking, because I would occasionally close my eyes to better concentrate on what I was hearing.
DONALD FAGEN and WALTER BECKER brought in some talented guests on "Katy Lied." RICK DERRINGER plays guitar on the song "Chain Lightning," and PHIL WOODS' saxophone is a stunning highlight on the song "Doctor Wu."
Toss in Jeff Porcaro, Larry Carlton, Elliott Randall, Victor Feldman and even Michael McDonald on backing vocals, and it's as if an all-star cast had been employed during the recording process.
Actually, forget the "as if." This crew was an all-star cast, and it was good enough to make me stumble about last night, trying to walk with my eyes closed.
