Again I got the call from American Songwriter to cover The Steve Miller Band at the Ryman. I love the Ryman and grew up with Steve Miller. His Book of Dreams record was the first record I ever bought with my own money. His career is interesting in that it was going nowhere then he almost died and during his recovery time wrote all the songs that would go on to be on the albums Book of Dreams and Fly Like an Eagle. Many huge hits came from that time and many of those songs have been run into the ground even to this day on classic rock radio. It was neat to see a performer that is basically an old blues dude who just happened to figure out how to write pop songs. He has sold over 35 million records!
At this show I tried some new things. I had been experimenting alot with in-camera double exposure while in NYC. I tried this technique for the first time on a "big" band at this show. I think I'll keep throwing it in the mix.
I love those Ryman windows! Click on photos to enlarge!

Many great successes of the period and many of these songs were performed on the floor until the date on classic rock radio.
