Walter Becker, best known as a guitarist/bassist and one of the two primary members (along with Donald Fagen) of critically-acclaimed 1970s jazz-rock band Steely Dan, has died.

His cause of death has not been made public, but he had been in fragile health for several months following an unspecified surgical procedure.

Rest in peace. Countdown to Ecstasy is the tastiest stuff of the 70's. Mr. Becker's now jamming to it on a whole new plane. Guess it's about time I listened to "My Old School" again to get it stuck in my head for another million years.
