Reply to "Steely Dan guitarist Walter Becker dies at 67"

By the late '60s Fagan and Becker were playing with Jay and the Americans.

… it has everything to do with the USA Band, and two people who joined this touring and session group, Donald Fagan and Walter Becker, who played bass and keyboards during the late 60’s through 1970, using the pseudonyms Tristan Fabriani [Donald Fagen] and Gus Mahler [Walter Becker], or as Jay Black referred to this sardonic duo, Starkweather & Manson, and yes, the world would come to know them collectively as Steely Dan.
