Dad had A 39 mercury, that was one kick ass fine car. Suicide doors, huge car. Drove my sister and her wedding party, in style to her wedding!! Brilliant red, with wide white wall tires. Greeted by a piper playing Marries wedding,( my sisters name) Sadly that car was sold, still in the local area though. But never get it back.

I saw Steve Miller in concert twice and in both concerts every single second of each show was enjoyable. The man knows how to put on a show. You never have to wait for the hit single they play on the radio because every single song was so commercial and you could rock out to each song. Plus he seems like a pretty smart and down to earth guy, not like some of these rockers who abuse themselves with excessive drugs and alcohol and end up dying young. I definitely look forward to seeing him perform live again because I know I would always enjoy myself at his shows from beginning to end.

The harmonica work in this song is good. I have played the harp since I was just a youngster. After about 50 years of playing it I can say that. Playing this particular instrument well is not easy. It also involves knowing when to stop in a particular song. That can be difficult. Because you want to wail. But that is not always a good thing. It is a backup instrument after all. Playing the harmonica on it's own however is quite rewarding. Then you can wail. And it is an expression of your mood. I always feel better after a session on the harp by itself. It is good therapy.
