A Strange Coincidence Leads to Thoughts of the Steve Miller Band
Ok so this isn’t woo woo weird it does to me seems the odds for this happening seem fairly low! This morning I was listening to a Throw Way Back Playlist that I made sometime last year.. The Steve Miller Band’s song “Quicksilver Girl” from the band’s second album Sailor is in the playlist.
Now here where it gets kinda weird. When I came out of the library I turned back on Deep Tracks on Sirius XM Radio. Ai particularly like to listen to Deep Tracks when DJ Earl Bailey is on, his voice of takes me back to those days of yore on Philadelphia radio station WMMR.Those were the days!
When the DJ could choose what he or she was going to play!! Of course that got some DJs in trouble when they played songs they weren’t supposed to play. The DJ most famous for that was Steve Leon aka”My Father’s Son” son of Max Leon the owner of WDAS FM. Leon passed away in 2012 and you can read about his exploits here in his obituary.
Ok so now let’s get to the – what are the odds of that happening moment. As I was leaving the library, guess what song came on Deep Tracks. Yeah you guessed it “ Quicksilver Girl”! While it may not be that weird to some I found it amazing that I heard the same 51-year-old song twice within three hours!
Thoughts About the Steve Miller Band
Anyway that got me to thinking about the Steve Miller Band. I was a big fan through the band’s first seven albums . All seven of them are in vinyl collection. I had the Joker on 8 track tape! Anyway after The Joker became a hit Steve Miller became a radio band for me.
The next Miller album that entered my music library was his 2010 release Bingo! Yes if you do the math that’s 42 years after the release of the band’s first album! Steve followed that really good album with Let Your Hair Down In 2011. That was also a damn fine album.
Here’s a playlist containing some of my favorite tracks from the Steve Miller albums in my vinyl collection!!
