BlowHard On Steve Miller

Those that know me must be wondering why Steve Miller would get my second music post instead of the first. Well, it just worked out that way. It is not my intent to flood this blog with Steve Miller but rather to cover the music topic of the day – of my day. Steve makes the blog today because I got 5 new Steve Miller Band CDs today!

It is my 50th birthday and I got the Steve Miller Band Boxed Set as a gift. That includes 3 CD's. I have wanted this set for years in order to complete my Steve Miller collection but I just never did bite the bullet and spend the money. I had all the music in the boxed set on the original albums (or at least the CD remakes of the albums) and the only thing I could get out of the boxed set was the gratification of knowing I had everything Steve Miller. Well, now I have it and I'm pretty gratified.

And a month or so ago, I ordered a copy of a European release of a CD for which I already had the USA version: Steve Miller Band – Young Hearts. It arrived today and that accounts for the other two CDs. This set was another self gratification purchase but this time I bought it for myself rather than waiting to get it as a gift. It was a special edition with a bonus CD and it was the bonus CD I wanted. I figured I better move fast to get it before it couldn't be bought anywhere. As it was, I had to order the CD from Italy to get it.

The bonus CD includes the rare long version of Steve Miller's Macho City. Of course, I have Macho City on the Circle of Love CD but now I can say I have it all when it comes to Steve Miller's music.
