"The Joker" FL MET 2013 cover Steve Miller

[Hook]

8/21/13 session

So the first time Bruno & I got together he wanted to play this tune. Last night we got our families together one last time last, Bruno cooked us a marvelous dinner and we all just talked & talked. My wife was ready to go , we had a 90 minute drive and it was getting late with the kids on a school night but I got out the mbr and we played  a few tunes. No rehearsal, just some lyric sheets with the chords written down one take...FL MET 2013!

I had the best time brother. Thanks for arranging and the loan of the guitar, this was awesome and will be long remembered. Today we fly back to the UK and work awaits, but I go back full of inspiration thank to you, so expect a few new a different songs.:-) Songcrafters creates friendships and connections across the world, and having collaborated and played together for over a year, I think people's personalities shine through their writing and their talents.

Hook is a super musician and a great vocalist, and has a truly lovely family. I look forward to our next MET, already in planning.

I love this song, and Bro, you nailed the vocals. And a great photo as well :-) I am sad to leave florida, going back to grey old UK.

Steve Miller is another guy I've seen live in Birmingham UK (70s/80s)...........I don't remember the ukulele

You caught the fun of it all very well.
