Walter Carl Becker
(1950 - 2017)

Requiescat in pace

A huge loss to the music world. Walter Becker, together with Donald Fagan formed a binary star system of musical integrity. Their studio wizardry and obsessive attention to detail resulted in a body of work that will remain unapproachable in terms of the levels of pure sophistication it reached.

Perhaps Walter will, in true Bodhisattva fashion, give the world an encore?

Anyone remember a band called "the naked lunch" used to play Dublin about 15+ years ago, were a cover band of Steely Dan and were unbelievably good? Whatever happened to them?
