    One of the many reasons why I’m so appreciative of Atlantic City NJ in the early 70’s not having a black radio station. I was open to SO MANY artist that widened and deepened my musical palate. Steve Miller, Steely Dan, Manfred Mann, Starlight Vocal Band, The Bee Gees, Aerosmith, Barry Manilow, Blue Oyster Cult, Boston, 10cc, Pablo Cruise etc etc so very grateful for my non biased upbringings. I’m a better man, singer songwriter for it.

    What I love about my African American parents is that they believed in listening to all kinds of music and not just R&B. Back when I was 10 years old, my parents bought an 8-track of the Steve Miller Band. My brother, sister, and I listened to all of the songs on that 8-Track continuously, but The Joker was our favorite. Kudos to this band for making such awesome music that has transcended time. Here I am, 55 years old, and I thought about this song, and I had to hear it. Thanks to CZcams and technology for allowing us to relive a great part of our childhood through music, movies, and videos.

    I saw Steve Miller, the greatest missing band on my concert resume, on the water in Southie, circa 2004. He had the entire original cast on stage, including the crazy old hippie who banged on bongos and shook his tambourine and howled at the appropriate moment. I love that guy. The entire evening was one of unbridled spiritual joy. It is one of the great memories of my life. Thank you, Steve Miller. Dance dance dance, just like your grandpa. He lived to 92, and then some.
