Wore out my Aja album

Learn to work the saxophone,
Play just what I feel
Drink scotch whiskey all night long
And die behind the wheel

The single released separately was shorter, leaving out the long ending guitar solo.
This was one song where all the guitars & bass were played by Walter Becker, rather than recruiting other players.
Walter is doing some tasty playing on this.

...up the fretboard on that one. But then I don't know much about how those records were made. Do you know if Becker also played the solo on "Josie"? I thought I read that somewhere.

Funny thing is Larry Carlton & Dean Parks play on that tune.
But, they all played solos & later decided to use Walter's take.
