  And 50 years later, we're still listening to Steely Dan. Thank you, Denny Dias, for your indelible contribution.

  That Sitar solo is just unbelievable. That alone is hall of fame worthy.

  &quot;I would have preferred a band myself. But I could see their point because the music was getting more and more difficult to play. It was at the edge of our abilities. I thought that the world is a better place with this music being produced the way they wanted it done. So, I said sure, whatever you want, you have my support.&quot;<br><br>Man. That put a lump in my throat. And now, a tear in my eye.<br><br><br>Thank you, Rick. And thank you, Denny. Thank you very much. The Dan is my all-time band and it just couldn&apos;t be what it was without you.

  Those solos alone with Steely Dan deserves Denny to be in the Rock &amp; Roll Hall Of Fame.

  Rick Beato is preserving so much irreplaceable musical history. I can always come back to his videos to learn something new. Thank you, Rick.

  Quiet, unassuming and oh so humble. Denny is a musical giant that the world has nearly forgotten. I almost teared up when he reflected on how the Punk era left him and his music behind. Tragic. Thank you Rick for resurrecting Denny’s well deserved legacy. What a treat! 👏🏻

  Those of us in our 50&apos;s 60&apos;s 70&apos;s, this is our music and I wouldn&apos;t trade it for anything in the history of music. It will never be duplicated

  What a humble, highly intelligent guy , unknown in Mainstream media, who played some of the best iconic guitar solos in the 70s and nobody outside musicians and music nerds knows him.
