Wendy asked me if I was going to post it to Season 598 of the Ukulele: "There are Fairies at the Bottom of Our Garden" (because of The Pixies, right?)

A song from the very first Steely Dan album, "Can't Buy A Thrill," released in November of 1972. This song featured David Palmer singing the lead vocal. Though his time with The Dan was short-lived, Palmer etched a place in my heart with this song.
