Walter Becker has purchased Legend #297

May 25th, 2012

Hi Everyone, Chuck here,

I’m very pleased to announce that Walter Becker purchased Legend #297.

This is very exciting for me, Steely Dan is my favorite rock band of all time.

I’m honored.

Steely Dan, Eagles, & Fleetwood Mac are my favorite all-time groups. This is wonderful news, Chuck. I’m sure he can’t put it down. I’ll predict 2 things: 1] this will not be his only CpT 2] one or more of his gifted musician friends are going to be led into the family by Walter.

By the way, I feel a special kinship to Walter Becker. He is, after all, the person credited with coining the terms, “G.A.S.” & “Guitar Acquisition Syndrome.”

This is HUGE!! Big congrats to you, Rich, & Walter.

Jay

That’s great news Chuck! It’s a wonderfull thing when a guitar company actually sells a guitar to a great guitarist, rather than just give it to him.
It’s a testament to your work. That wraparound legend is a great guitar.

Pretty exciting news, Chuck! It’s great to see one of your guitars in the hands of someone like Walter Becker, and I hope to see some shots of him playing it on stage. Congrats!
