In a Groove

I've been listening to Morph the Cat over and over this p.m. It's as languid and bittersweet* as Nightfly and Kamakiriad weren't, but that's perfect these days. My favorite track is "What I Do," but "The Night Belongs to Mona" is growing on me. His arrangements are lush and smooth as a fog rolling in. It'll be in elevators and shops in due time, like other Steely Dan and Fagan songs of the past, giving me an inward smile as I rehearse the lyrics.

*Yes, I know where I've heard that phrase before.
