Goes to show how far in the weeds I am that this promised re-post is months and months overdue.... Recorded by me and Mike down in Baltimore in late 2012, predating the 1st floor renovations at the Roadkill Estate. Considering that I barely remember the house in it's divided, tenancy days, that's a LONG time! Funny enough, though, I can still see the horror of the abandoned fridge and smell the yeast and Siberian husky hair encrusted in that carpeting...

Steely Dan deep cover: "Barrytown"
Hey all-
A quick shout-out from the dusty temporary grave of RKBS industries. I have little great thoughts about the passing of Walter Becker over the weekend, and initially I had almost no reaction other than a "what can ya do" shrug. After thinking about things, though, I realized that he and the various Steely Dan incarnations made more of an impression on me than my inner Americana/ pop rock/ punk/ etc aficionado would like to admit. I can get particularly stinky about late '70s Steely Dan but had forgotten how much I loved "Pretzel Logic", and that "Steely Dan Greatest Hits" tape ('72-'77 so no "Gaucho"!) that Dillo and I used to play on the commute to New Rochelle during our senior year in high school.
So, pouring one out, here's a re-posting of a recording from the 2012 Harpswell Hootenanny (another brief tradition that's also hopefully in only a temporary grave): "Barrytown" from 1974's "Pretzel Logic", which was and is my go-to album from those crusty bastards. Paul B sings lead and plays the Wurlitzer and the close-out guitar lick. Paul C on bass, Roady on drums, me on the Gretsch and tambourine and some singing.
