The friendship Walter and Donald had together was unbreakable and was built on trust and loyalty. It makes me wish I had a friendship like they have. You can't find friends like that anymore. Rest in peace Walter love and miss you

Such agreat interview. RIP Mary Turner who passed last month at 76.

Growing up with 3 older brothers had many benefits. Being exposed to SD was definitely one of them. I’m a musician and I can tell that everything I write and play has a hint of their influence. I’m grateful for this. My life is better because of their music. Thanks SD. RIP WB

“I know that some people are cheerier than other people, but I don’t care.” Well said.

So stoned. So funny. So thankful.

Hi, the other voice in this is Skunk Baxter and a sentence offered by Denny Dias. They were having a very good time! Lary

Thanks for the upload!

I wish Fagen would tour as STEELY DON

I remember hearing this interview on WSRZ 102.5FM back then! it was from Westwood One.

Mary is a great interviewer. Let's them talk.

So good to hear Mary Turner's voice, albeit brief.

What a fabulous interview so much information thank you 🙏 for the upload what a gem 💎

I never could figure out if I liked Steely Dan. I kept listening to in. Over the years. Do I like it? I was left with the fact that art that makes you think is real art.

Thanks for putting this up.

The Burner Mary Turner every weeknight on KMET! FM radio at its best! 👍🎼🇺🇸

Awesome. Very funny at times, but definitely insightful. Thanks for mentioning that you had posted some interview clips on another page recently. I really appreciate it!

The tape is running a semitone or so flat, so that probably has something to do with it.

This is great!

Oh the humor...the irony...such a hoot! Thank you for posting this interview.

“It’s like football players and their knees...it’s inevitable...”

This is terrific and very enlightening. However if this timeline is correct Walter and Donald went there separate ways shortly thereafter only to reform in the mid-nineties. Rest in peace Walter Becker.

That is entirely possible, but the person that gave this to me said it was from 1981. R.I.P. Walter

Considering that they said at one point in the interview "We've been together for 10 years" that would be in alignment with the timeline of Steely Dan forming and making demos in 1971 and breaking up June of 1981.

Hilarious guys! Very talented!

Love these rare interviews

Great duo, some of the best music from that era, I bought my 1st album in 1975, steely Dans the royal scam, I forgot how much I paid, I'll guess 5 bucks maybe, well worth it, I played the shit out of that thing.

Ran across this interview and it’s really funny they mentioned the Stardust Motel in Waldorf Md. I can’t believe walter and Donald played in Waldorf at the stardust😂 it closed down and I think it burned down but It’s been a such a long time… Waldorf Md.. that’s funny that they talked about what a sh-t hole it was. And it was!

It's funny how connections in the music industry helped along the way, otherwise they may have never gotten the opportunity to write and get songs out there, like, "do it again" that's the 1 that broke them, it's always that way, 1 song.

thing is - its only really the music that speaks...

Mary Turner's interview with ZZ Top, please.

OP... just found this specific interview on vinyl. Can you help me with the origin information? Where is this recorded from? Sounds like a vinyl at the breaks. Thank you

They're a little loaded. ;)
