A Happy Merry Steely Holiday

A friend of mine works with graphics.

She made this a few years ago and I am stealing it now, to wish you a very Steely Holiday Season.

The snowman has a Walter Becker Circus Money shirt on and the scarf from Donald Fagen's Morph the Cat tour.

Over the years she has done some of the best Fan Art for unofficial Tee-shirts.

She is also a great cook and has graced my Angel blog with a recipe or two.

She also gave me free tickets to the Boston Steely Dan Concert, back in 2013.

We fans are hardcore. :-)

This second photo graced the home page of Steely Dan, back in the 2000's.

I fell in love with it, the first time I saw it.

It is the infamous Pretzel Logic cover, with a Santa Hat.

Very cute and so deserving to be here.

Whatever you celebrate, enjoy all that this season has to offer.

A Steely Dan VH1 Special from 1995

Hold onto your hats, Steely Dan Fans. Here is an oldie but goodie Documentary from VH1.

I have been a fan of Steely Dan since the year 2000. That is almost 17 years and in all that time, THIS video has never crossed my path...until last weekend.

A worth it 21 minutes of your life, if you wondered about the band and what their roots were.

I never knew that Walter Becker came to Bard College expecting it to be a music school and instead finding out that there were only 4 bands...all with Donald Fagen in them. HA!

One of them was (I am sure) Leather Canary, the band that Chevy Chase was in. A fact that I did know.

The photography was 90's stupid, but the knowledge you gain is worth the price of your time. I laughed multiple times at the things that come out of their mouths. They are just so funny.

Enjoy.
