Sometimes just hearing a song can open up an empty space in your heart. There is not a song on Steely Dan’s Katy Lied that doesn’t bring a little bit of a tear to my eye. Once there was talent and a raw life force that carried us all along onward and upward. I lost track and with the exception of one conversation in a parking lot rushing to or from some meaningless urgency I never saw him again. And then he was gone. This is a memory in song to somebody who changed the course of two lives and probably many more.
