    One of the many reasons why I’m so appreciative of Atlantic City NJ in the early 70’s not having a black radio station. I was open to SO MANY artist that widened and deepened my musical palate. Steve Miller, Steely Dan, Manfred Mann, Starlight Vocal Band, The Bee Gees, Aerosmith, Barry Manilow, Blue Oyster Cult, Boston, 10cc, Pablo Cruise etc etc so very grateful for my non biased upbringings. I’m a better man, singer songwriter for it.

    What I love about my African American parents is that they believed in listening to all kinds of music and not just R&B. Back when I was 10 years old, my parents bought an 8-track of the Steve Miller Band. My brother, sister, and I listened to all of the songs on that 8-Track continuously, but The Joker was our favorite. Kudos to this band for making such awesome music that has transcended time. Here I am, 55 years old, and I thought about this song, and I had to hear it. Thanks to UA-cam and technology for allowing us to relive a great part of our childhood through music, movies, and videos.

He had the entire original cast on stage, including the crazy old hippie who banged on bongos and shook his tambourine and howled at the appropriate moment. I love that guy. The entire evening was one of unbridled spiritual joy. It is one of the great memories of my life. Thank you, Steve Miller. Dance dance dance, just like your grandpa. He lived to 92, and then some.

    'Cause I speak of the pompatus of love
    People talk about me baby
    Say I'm doin' you wrong, doin' you wrong
    Well, don't you worry, baby, don't worry
    'Cause I'm right here, right here, right here, right here at home
    'Cause I'm a picker
    I'm a grinner
    I'm a lover
    And I'm a sinner
    I play my music in the sun
    I'm a joker
    I'm a smoker
    I'm a midnight toker
    I sure don't want to hurt no one
    I'm a picker
    I'm a grinner
    I'm a lover
    And I'm a sinner
    I play my music in the sun
    I'm a joker
    I'm a smoker
    I'm a midnight toker
    I get my lovin' on the run
    Ooh, whoo, ooh, whoo
    You're the cutest thing that I ever did see
    I really love your peaches
    Wanna shake your tree
    Lovey dovey, lovey dovey, lovey dovey all the time
    Ooh wee baby, I'll sure show you a good time
    'Cause I'm a picker
    I'm a grinner
    I'm a lover
    And I'm a sinner
    I play my music in the sun
    I'm a joker

    Say I'm doin' you wrong
    Well don't you worry, don't worry, no don't worry mama
    'Cause I'm right here at home
    You're the cutest thing I ever did see
    I really love your peaches
    Wanna shake your tree
    Lovey dovey, lovey dovey, lovey dovey all the time

    2am, sick with mild case covid, woke to go to bathroom, played my words with friends on my epad, while sitting there, then out of nowhere this song pops into my head! Back in my dark bedroom had to find this song on UA-cam on my phone, to listen to it. Heard it so many times in high school in late 1970s. From a vinyl record. Not once back then could I have imagined ever thinking that someday I'd write the message I just wrote! Half of those words didn't exist in 1970s. Life is weird like that.

    Happy belated 50th anniversary to this song, it was released in January 1974! It’s leap year day 2024 as I post this comment. This song made the top ten songs of 1974, In addition to “Sweet Home Alabama”(Lynryd Sknryd), “I can Help”(Billy Swan), “Bennie and the Jets,”(Elton John), and Grand Funks cover version of Loco motion. May this song live in for another 50 years!!!
