Music

Logins and Messina, Seals and Croft, and Jefferson Starship were three of Joe's favorite music groups. His favorite song, Miracles, was written by Marty Balin and sung by Jefferson Starship.

Joe was fortunate enough to see Jefferson Starship perform live at the Greek Theater in Berkeley. He invited Bonnie Miller, Coach Mike White's secretary, to go with him to the concert. Instead of buying tickets, the two concert goers thought it would be more fun and cheaper to climb the hill overlooking the venue and enjoy the show.

Ironically, Joe's concert experience was very similar to the ritual many Cal fans take part in when they trek up Tightwad Hill to watch Cal football games in Memorial Stadium for free.

Listen to a 30 second clip of the song Miracles here.
Here are the lyrics to Joe's favorite song, Miracles:

Miracles

Written By:	Marty Balin
Recorded by:	Jefferson Starship

If only you believe like I believe, baby
Wed get by
If only you believe in miracles, baby
So would I
If only you believe like I believe, baby
Wed get by
If only you believe in miracles, baby
So would I.

I might have to move heaven and earth to prove
It to you, baby
So were makin love and you feel the power
And I feel the power
Then there's really nothing that we can't do
If we wanted to, baby
We could exist on the stars
It'd be so easy
All we gotta do
Is get a little faith in you
Oh, I've been (to) so many places
I've seen some things
I know, love is the answer
Keeps holding this world together
Aint nothing better
Aint nothing better
And all the answers to our prayers
Hell, it's the same everywheres, baby
Nothing ever breaks up the heart
Only tears give you away
Then you're right where I found ya
With my arms around ya
Oh baby, baby, baby, love is a magic word, yeah
Few ever find in a lifetime
But from that very first look in your eyes
I knew you and I had but one heart
Only our bodies were apart
That was so easy, so easy
I had a taste of the real world
When I went down on you, girl.

If only you believe like I believe, baby
Wed get by
If only you believe in miracles, baby
So would I
If only you believe like I believe, baby
Wed get by
If only you believe in miracles, baby
So would I.

I can hear windmills and rainbows
Whenever you're talkin to me
I feel like swirling and dancin
Whenever you're walking with me
You ripple like a river when I touch you
When I pluck your body like a string
When I start dancin inside ya
Oh baby, you make me wanna sing
Yeah, baby, baby, baby, baby
Oh yeah, all right
Baby, were sure doin it tonight
Everytime you come by, let me try
Pretty, please sugar on it
That's how I like it
I can't even believe it, with you
It's like having every dream I ever wanted
Come true
I picked up your vibes
You know it opened my eyes
But I'm still dreamin yeah
And you're right where I found ya
With my arms around ya.

Refrain (2x)
