Boz Scaggs last weekend at the Newport Yachting Center

My colleague Beth Heaney, a projo.com designer, saw Boz Scaggs at the Newport Yachting Center last weekend, and sent me this note:

I wasn't planning to go to see Boz Scaggs Saturday night, but my husband acquired a couple of tickets, so we headed out late.

scagga.jpgI have to admit, I remembered liking Scaggs many years ago, but I couldn't remember many song titles. It didn't take long for it all to come back, though, in fact, I started thinking of the ones I hoped he'd play as he moved through a number of his big hits. Some he didn't go for, but others he did. Harbor Lights, Lido Shuffle, Lowdown, Loan Me a Dime, and Georgia were all on his list, though and were well-received by the crowd.

Rick Massimo's column June 8 (Boz Scaggs shuffles into R.I.) mentions that he just turned 64 -- but his distinctive voice is still as young as ever.

She shot a bit of video with her digital camera and put it on YouTube -- enough to get the gist of the gig.

Sheila, that show was terrific, as are all Boz Scaggs shows. My wife, daughter and I traveled from Long Island especially to see Boz that night. He's never disappointed me. We'll be seeing him again on June 22nd on Long Island. Thanks for the video, as it will always bring back memories of that performance.

You know, I remembered near the end of the show that I had my camera with me, so I took a couple of shots, then I remembered it took short videos too. Nothing can capture the feeling of a show like that, but it did for me what it did for you – it brought to life my memories of the moment.
