Boz Scaggs

My wife talked me into seeing him at the Bass Hall in Fort Worth. He is 65, old enough to be my grandfather but I am telling you the guy can sing and has a great band. Here is a little sample for you. www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFCnVC2C8As&feature=related

Everyone I knew had the cassette of Silk Degrees.

I was in college at his zenith... I wore out my 8 track tapes of him.... especially Silk Degrees. Ahh, those were the good ole days.

He performed in Austin tonight for the birthday celebration of the Paramount and the State theaters. I have always been a fan.

Next stop Chi'town
Lido put the money down
Let her roll
He say, "one more job oughta get it
One last shot 'fore we quit it"

Boz played in Steve Miller's band for a little while and then went on to a solo career. The dude has one the most distinctive voices out there. Silk Degrees is still in my top five all time albums (yeah I have the album AND I had the 8 track and now I own the CD).

When Silk Degrees came out, I thought Skaggs was a traitor to all things rock and blues.

Of course, the girls loved it, and my wife still does, so I have developed a certain appreciation for that style, but would rather listen to his cover of Somebody Loan Me a Dime, etc

Saw him a couple of years ago at the Livermore winery, and agree, he is still a consummate pro. In 04 or so he released a collection of blues, a new recording, not bad.

we would stop in and have a drink at his bar when we visited SF (The Blue Note), he was usually in there - appeared to be a cool guy. Silk degrees needs to be added to my ipod.

"Say what do you think of gentlemen wearing mink?"

I'm lazy and just have "HITS!", but it's a cassette.
