Here's one I'm learning to play right now...
Can we expect a mini concert at the MRV? I can't carry a tune in a bucket, but live music might be a cool addition to the Rendezvous events.

And a nice guy too. He was one of my customers in Florida. The guys used to fight over who got to go to his house. They fought more over him than Bernie Kosar.Anything Darius Rucker. Formerly of Hootie and the Blowfish.

Steve Miller Band's "The Joker" gets my vote for the best classic rock and driving song of all time. Follow me here...
1. It has a stellar, sing-along hook. (Don't lie, you know all the words by heart.)
2. It has a cat-call riff that all but forces your air-guitar-playing hand, drum fills that make you bang on your steering wheel, and a guitar solo that sounds like a child is trapped inside the amp.
3. It references each of the following at least once: sinning, tobacco, drugs, gangsters, and being on the run. This alone qualifies it a rock-and-roll.
4. It includes made-up words. (And I'll go out on a limb here and say that "pompatus" is a damn good made-up word.)
5. And finally, it expresses love for a woman with a mention of her "peaches," and more importantly, does so without coming across as sexist. Mr. Miller, that's skill. Bravo, sir.
It's songs like these that make long miles drift by without notice. They're the sort of songs that have us rolling down the windows and singing along.
So I'm interested in hearing from you on this topic… What's your favorite song or album or band to crank up loud and sing along to when you're behind the wheel? Everyone's got one!
Anything by Pink Floyd!
