Minutes passed, as I accidentally slipped and hit my head on a tree. Waking up I was next to Autumn who was also unconscious, but in my memory, I never witnessed Autumn being unconscious.

Lead guitarist and lead singer Steve Miller is indeed one of the 2016 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees.

Obviously most known for their hit record, "The Joker," that appeared in the top 10 back in…
