This is a reharmonized Steely Dan song called Midnite Cruiser from the Can’t Buy a Thrill album. The melody is the same as the original, but almost everything else has changed. (If the song doesn’t work, reload your page.) Original Version: The real deal:

I took the melody from “Dirty Work” by Steely Dan and added my own chords and bass line. This is what it sounded like before: And here is the real deal. Check this one out: Approximately one year ago I posted this song. I remember that day. And finally, here is an artist who is…

Here is a song for you on this “Tuesday Afternoon.” The previous version was missing something. How are you doing? I hope you are doing well, whoever you are. May this song bring you blessings. It was created in a loving environment with the inspiration and encouragement of a furry four-legged friend. This is one…

Today’s song is number 13 for Steely Dan. It is the first one I have done from the album Katy Lied. It is called Any World (That I’m Welcome To). It can be found along with the other Steely Dan songs here:

I was looking at my credit card statement and realized that my balance is much higher than I thought. Perhaps there is something wrong with my debt perception. And here is my take on another song by Steely Dan called Deacon Blues from the album Aja. Finally, I am putting out a prayer for rain.…

Name those tunes.

Today’s prose: You can complain about a barking dog All day long But in the end he’ll keep singing That same old song And there’s nothing you can do about it! See if you can name that song from that album. And despite the similarities, it isn’t “Who Let the Dogs Out.”:
