Walter Becker quotes:

Packed up the Dylan and the Man Ray and the JoyceI left a note that said well I guess I got no choiceScuse me girl while I'm kicking it to the curbLeaving with all I need but less than I deserve

My primary influences were the best jazz players from the 50's and 60's and later some of the pop people from the same time period along with the better of the well-known blues musicians.

My primary influences were the best jazz players from the 50's and 60's and later some of the pop people from the same time period along with the better of the well known blues musicians.

I'm a self-taught musician aside from what I've been able to pick up from other players.

I listen to a mixture of old jazz, contemporary, pop, some world beat stuff and various odds and ends.
