Steve Miller Band

My massage team has been massaging SMB for almost 3 years and this is the first time I got to meet and massage him. He was SO nice and when he walked into the massage room he was so full of praise, saying so many kind things, like “you got a great team, you run a tight ship, all of your girls have been terrific, I feel so much better on tour with them massaging me, etc.

He told me SO many amazing stories during his two hour massage- told me about hanging out with Hendrix and headlining for the Grateful Dead (the dead opened, then SMB played then Jimi- wow!) he also played a show once in Minnesota where Alice Cooper opened for them and said it was one of Alice’s first show and how the crowd didn’t know how to react with Alice. He just ate dinner the other night with Alice and told me just for fun they traded watches (they both collect them). He is just a nice guy, wow. 

 

The show was, to my surprise, 90% BLUES!! He played Come On (which in my opinion was made famous by Jimi Hendrix) and many other great blues tunes- naturally he played his hits but you can tell he would just enjoy playing blues all night 🙂

SOME of Steve’s guitars on the side of the stage. There were so many I couldn’t fit them all into one picture. He is the only guitarist in the band fyi

BACK in the sadle again.. he’s baaaaaaack

 from like 1997 ^ taken in Berlin

It has been a long time since I have massaged Steven (Aerosmith ) Tyler, so it was GREAT seeing him again and massage him again. He is by far one of my favorites to work on. He is so positive and fun, I am pretty sure anyone who knows him, loves him. His girlfriend Erin got a massage the next day too. They were both VERY pleased with their massages, so I have been told over and over again by his assistant. 

Steven insisted on tying this scarf on me himself for the picture. He said "I know how to do scarves"  haha. He is so fun! He lives ROCK and ROLL. Some stars dress and act one way on stage and act differently off the stage. With Steven, it's like this, he is exactly like he appears to be, a free spirit with a wild way about him, it's not an act, he is that way. So fucking cool!

 

Steve said he got those necklaces and beads in Maui. The Turquoise beads, he said, are over 3,000 years old. The tight teeth necklace is made from Raccoon teeth

 

 

Steve says this ring has been around the world twice in a shuttle (his friend is an astronaut and brings his ring with him)


 
 

Mr. Tyler and his little torch

He uses this to ignite special coals he got in Dubai. The coals

go under incense he got there, and they smell delicious. 

 

 

My friend Bri, who does security for Steven, also protected Evil Knievel for more than 15 years. SUPER nice, but fierce man. 

Halloween night 2009

Joanna and I ^

 

Halloween 2009 in NYC at Iggy's karaoke bar upper East Side.

 

Joanna was dressed as Anna Nicole Smith and if you look carefully you will see her prop, Anna's dog Sugar Pie. I was obviously a French Maid (was going to be a gory one but had no time to do the gore make up as I was SWAMPED with work). I worked until 1am setting up the Depeche Mode tour for massages (Dot Bots all lined up). 

 I had a BLAST singing last night, but sang songs I knew the crowd would love rather than singing the ones I really wanted to try for the first time (it was PACKED and crowed wanted greatest hits sort of thing). I did Whole Lotta Love, I Feel Good, I just want to make love to you (Etta James), Dirty Deeds (done dirt cheap) – and another that I can't remember. Hmmmmm. I only had ONE wine spritzer, totally being a good girl (still off coffee too 🙂

Well, not much time to write as I have to get up early. Guess I will return to Berlin end of this month, I miss my friends. Torn between two lovers (Berlin and NYC! 🙂
