Steve Miller Band ~ Fly Like An Eagle

You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton

What an odd video! The song revolves around a keyboard riff - the guitar can barely be heard. And Miller never went to the 12-string neck, so WTF is he playing that dual neck guitar for?

You've gotta LOVE it!

I remember when this came out. The rumor was that the keyboard stuff at the end was not played by a person, but created by opening the windows and letting the wind blow the keys.

I actually believed that, LOL.

Are you sure it wasn't a player piano? lol
