But trail blazers and pioneers are by definition breaking new ground. There hasn't been a truly new genre since hip hop, forty or so years ago. I'm not holding my breath

When someone in music dies it's very sad of course . But I always think, I've got there music as long as I live. And that is Walter,s legacy.

I've more CD's of SD than any other band or artist, so i guess i can safely say they're my fave artists of all time

The word gutted springs to mind

Sad news... a great songwriter and bass player. Loved the Dan and his last solo album wasn't too shabby

I saw this today and couldn't resist posting it here, especially as he's playing a bass. Walter Becker, one of our own.

Walter Becker and Co on top form during this live concert (including rehearsal and interview footage). Well worth a watch and listen for any Dan fans.
