What a coincidence... My wife have discovered 4 DAT tapes of recordings I made around the year 2000. One of them may be the only master left of a demo CD that since been lost. It contains 3 songs that have completely vanished from my Chordal memory. I have no idea which one of the tapes (if any) has that recording as opposed to my usual embarrassments... I'm dropping the tapes to a conversion place this morning. They charge $66 a tape and won't let me listen before I choose so have to convert all of them. Ahh well...
'Vivre la difference'...
Yeah, moving story, very happy for the Roger Nichols family. I feel though that this song would have probably stayed out of the Gaucho album. Steely Dan... Fagen is an obsessive artist and would have rescued it long ago if he felt like it.

Thanks for reminding me about Gaucho @lennylowrent made a good listen this morning. As well as totally forgetting about, Two Against Nature, which I’m also enjoying at the moment.
Changing subject slightly, my favourite Little Feat album was always the Electric Lycanthrope bootleg I bought (I think) at Compendium Books in Camden in 1977. Legend had it that it was recorded at the wedding of a friend of the band. It's now more widely available (since 2021). They're saying it was recorded at a studio in front of 'a small and intimate assembled studio audience'.

I listen to them more than any other band.
The audience was a sea of bald heads and stringy ponytails.
