This is fascinating reading. HH, you have done an awesome job with your notes!

I particularly like that Glenn was so respectful to both Randy and Felder. (Did Bernie get any mention?).

Wish I'd been there to see Nancy's face at the origin of Steely Dan's name.


Interesting comment about Felder's songs not having space for lyrics. All I can think of is that maybe they built a certain momentum that lyrics would interrupt... but then, Joe's warm-up lick turned into LITFL. Maybe because it was shorter?

Could they have picked up parts of Felder's compositions and dropped them into the middle of something else, as a guitar solo? Or would that just not have worked... (I know we can't really answer the question, I'm just speculating here!).
