Remembering Boz Scaggs
 |
William Royce "Boz" Scaggs is a singer, songwriter, and guitar player who became a prominent force on the musical scene for his work in the late 1970s ...
I was a big fan during that time frame.
I became marked among my pre-navy enlistment friends as being one of the few people who liked his music in the groups within which I circulated.
I never pursued much about his personal life but would always take a moment and ponder his lyric and melody when I'd catch him on the airwaves.
He was ten years my senior, a performer — and one to take hiatus from the rat race that touring entails.
All in all I vew Boz Scaggs as one of those early influences which made me somewhat ecclectic and circumspect in my musical tastes and a portion of that remains in these days.
His present is filled with writing, touring, and playing.
Today is his birthday.
