    You guys don't even know what you're doing to yourselves by listening to every type of music you can find. You are creating new synapses in your brain, you are becoming more educated and finding out what every country, race and ethnic part of the world has to offer. You are learning that no one has the best music, and that all peoples have talent and music in their soul. You are just like I was at your age...Never confined to one idea or thought. I wish we were best friends.

    When you get older, there are certain songs that you associate with specific settings from your youth. For me, this was a sunny Saturday afternoon, tired of cruising Main, you park your car in the shade of a big tree in the park. You crank up the tunes and sit on the hood of your car, watching the other kids cruise by in their rides. Good times back in the late 70's.

    Songfacts: The instrument used on the first instrumental break is an electric sitar, which was played by Steely Dan mainstay Denny Dias (who later became a computer programmer). This is followed by an organ solo, which was played by Donald Fagen. This was described in the album liner notes as "an inexpensive, imported plastic organ (an instrument which long ago fell into disuse in most rock circles)." This was later revealed to be a Yamaha YC-30 with something called a portamento ribbon, which could create the slide effect.

    You guys are just a pleasure to watch because you truly love music; Steely Dan was made up of two mucisians named Walter Becker and Donald Fagan along with a group of great studio guys who would become famous later on. If you liked the guitar solo in this song listen to a song called My Old School. Its about when Fagan and Becker first met and they decide to drop out of school and pursue music full time and their parents don’t want them to go.

    Underrated Steely Dan song you're definitely gonna wanna hear. It's called "Time Out of Mind" I don't see people mentioning it, but it's my favorite Steely Dan tune.

    These videos are cool as hell, thanks for sharing cuz it's cool to see the reactions. I am 48 and I think that this reminds me of what it's like to go crate digging and get to know records with other people in the shops in the city. Cheers guys enjoy the music.

      Josie, Deacon Blues, The Royal Scam, Rikki Don't Lose That Number (did they do that already?), Any Major Dude Will Tell You, Reelin' In the Years, Dirty Work, Dr. Wu (Katy Lied), Peg, Aja, FM........just love Steely Dan!
      FYI, there was a fair amount of crossover between musicians from the Doobie Brothers and backing musicians for Steely Dan. Guitarist Jeff "Skunk" Baxter and Vocalist/piano/keyboardist Michael McDonald are often in the credits of Steely Dan songs. I think McDonald mostly did just vocals (Donald Fagen was Steely Dan's keyboardist)---you can always pick out McDonald's voice in the background. Jazz guitarist Larry Carlton also was on many Steely Dan recordings.

    You guys, I just want to say that you’re fantastic! These reaction videos to songs you’ve never heard before that are decades old bring back so many wonderful memories of how much I love music. Whether you like every song or not, you show nothing but awesomeness and positivity. It’s a real joy to see music from the 70’s and 80’s get introduced to a new young audience who loves it as much as we do! Promise that you’ll keep up your videos...they make me so happy.
