          Steve Miller:  "This tune was made up one night out underneath the

  stars at a party.  I was stretched out on the hood of an old car, playing

  guitar, looking for shooting stars and it just seemed to write itself.  The

  slide guitar part is a Fender Stratoscaster plugged into a Manny's fuzztone

  box, run through a Hammond organ Leslie speaker set on chorus.  Yeahhh!" 

  

  

  

                                          Enjoy!
