Musical Interlude: The Joker (1973)

 The Steve Miller Band's #1 smash. "The Joker" , was my first exposure to the group when it was released to radio in 1973. Little did I know that the band is approaching its 60th anniversary in 2 years' time, and its alumni roll includes Ross Valory (later of Journey), Boz Scaggs, and Doug Clifford (Creedence Clearwater Revival). Whew! Paul McCartney, under an assumed name, sat in with the band on one of their early albums when they were labelmates at Capitol.

Here's "The Joker".
