Please read my Conditions!
My only method of cleaning is a soft brush and cloth and some Audio Advisor product. That requires to listening to the LP with my turntable & needle... (Which cost more money these days) and collecting the dust from the grooves. If a stubborn noise erupts, I will then look under a light and microscope. It is quite time consuming. So, I may miss a thing or two sometimes on my listings, like overlook a defect or to over grade; but it is not intentional! I will always be here to help resolve the issue! I am a one man show, while taking care of an elder... That being said... Please play record a few times if I mentioned I have cleaned it and do not use another product until u do so! The enzymes work at eating the debris and play gets better, each time, usually much better If after a few plays you could try cleaning again with your product if stubborn static persists...
 All I ask is my buyers realize these points and be rest assured I offer a refund policy,   but I would prefer you email me so we can work something out first, I may have a backup copy...  I have been collecting records since my 20's...  It has been a passion and a part-time hobby,  I hope you love and enjoy music as much as I do, and selling is another way to get to know other people with a likeminded interest as I.  I offer a refund policy, so please give me the opportunity to make good if there is a problem with a transaction.  I reserve the right to cancel a transaction after the sale If I find a missed defect on your behalf.  Feel free to compare prices elsewhere you will find I am very reasonable.  Don't waste your time if the seller does not listen to the lp's, I have return 100's because of defects.  Also please be aware I am A human being, and I do make mistakes!  So be gentle and straight forward if you are having any issues, I do not like having debates,  I would rather listen to my music!   Happy Hunting!

Born in , , Miller received his first exposure to music from his mother, Bertha, whom he described as a remarkable jazz-influenced singer, and his physician father, George, known as "Sonny" who, in addition to his profession as a , was a jazz enthusiast and an accomplished amateur . Guitar virtuoso  and his musical partner  were regular visitors at the Miller house. The Millers were best man and matron of honor at the December 1949 Paul/Ford wedding. Paul became Steve's godfather. Les Paul heard Steve, who was six, on a  made by Dr. Miller, "banging away" on a guitar given to him by his uncle, Dr. K. Dale Atterbury. Paul encouraged Miller to continue with his interest in the guitar... and "perhaps he will be something one day."

In 1950, the family relocated to . Many distinguished musicians came to the house to record, and Steve absorbed much from "greats" such as , , and . Walker taught Steve how to play his guitar behind his back and also with his teeth in 1952. In 1955, Steven began attending ' , a non-denominational preparatory day school for boys where he formed his first band, The Marksmen. He taught his older brother Buddy to play the bass guitar and also instructed his classmate, future musical star , guitar chords so that he could join the band. After leaving St. Mark's—"I got kicked out", he recalled with a laugh in a 2004 interview - he then attended a school in the  area of Dallas, , from which he graduated in 1961. He was inducted into Woodrow's Hall of Fame in 2009. Another member is Dusty Hill of ZZ Top.

In 1962, Miller returned to Wisconsin, and entered the , where he formed . Scaggs joined the Ardells the next year, and  became the band's keyboardist in the following year. After attending the  in Denmark for a semester in his senior year to study comparative literature, Miller dropped out six credit hours shy of a literature degree, opting to pursue a music career with his mother's encouragement and his father's misgivings:

[Interviewer:] When you look back over the span of your career, what are the lasting moments, the sweetest highs?

[Miller:] I would have to say my father's relationship with Les Paul and T-Bone Walker when I was young. Growing up in Dallas, being part of that phenomenal music scene. I found a way to do what I really wanted to do, which is so important for a kid. Near the end of college, my parents said, 'Steve, what are you going to do?' I said, 'I want to go to Chicago and play the blues.' My father looked at me like I was insane. But my mom said, 'You should do it now.' So I went to Chicago. And that was a special time. I played with Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf. I got to work with adults and realized music was what I wanted to do, what I loved.

Upon his return to the United States, Miller moved to Chicago where he immersed himself in the city's blues scene. During his time there, he worked with harmonica player  and jammed with blues greats , , and , all of whom encouraged the young guitarist to pursue music. In 1965, Miller and keyboardist  formed the Goldberg-Miller Blues Band and began playing on the Chicago club scene. They signed with Epic Records and released a single, "The Mother Song". They began a residency at a New York City blues club.

When Miller returned from New York, he was disappointed by the  scene, so he moved to Texas in hopes of finishing his education at the . He was disenchanted with academic politics at the university, so he took a  his father had given him and headed to San Francisco. Upon arrival, he used his last $5 to see the  and  at  Auditorium. Miller fell in love with the vibrant San Francisco music scene and decided to stay.
