Inspired By: The Steve Miller Band

Photobucket

The Steve Miller Band is classified as country to some, maybe even folk. But I consider SMB to be straight-up 70's rock with an alfalfa twist. The perfect music to blast from your iPod as you cruise down the open-road.

That said, I had to make SMB part of my road-trip music (along with a heavy dose of The Eagles, Dire Straights and...Elton John?), and it wasn't until a few months ago when I heard his Greatest Hits that I realized how many songs I already knew and recognized....

Swington, Jungle Love, Jet Airliner, Take the Money and Run, Fly like an Eagle, The Joker ("Some people call me Maurice *whistle*"), to name but a few.

Of course, you'll probably recognize the scarf and belt from my previous post. Did I get up that morning with Steve Miller on my mind? No, in fact, this is the same day as my previous post, I just changed out of the green dress since I was tired of flashing my butt to everyone everytime the wind gusted up.
But as we cruised along back country-roads while listening to Rock'n Me ("I went from Phoenix, Arizona, all the way to Tacoma..."), I looked down at my maxi and thought, yup this seems right.

  10. how that dress sits on the upper body is very flattering on you. and the peacock tail picture should be made into an oversized print and hung on a bedroom wall.
