Ron,
He may have been through town a LONG time ago, possibly playing at the local community college (undoubtedly when I was AWAY in the 1969-1973 period, 'cause I would have been there front row if he was in town when I was.) Since "Circle of Steel" is on the 1974 Sundown album, it's possible. The wheel could be a reference to the 'wheel of life' too.
Of course we could all be off base, and it's just another example of his writerly imagination at play.
