4. Thank you so much!!

I'm with you...this song and its memories also makes me happy to still be alive. Those were the best songs. My husband calls some of them "toe tappers". You couldn't help but move in some fashion or other to that music....it was wonderful! Best of all, you felt good....not like now!

5. Boz and Miller

Boz Scaggs and Steve Miller. Wow! They were a pair. But Box Scaggs on his own was just WOW!

IMHO

9. Fond Memories

I did this song back in the mid to late 70s.
I had a band of younger guys (I has just graduated from college, but I was only 19, so playing with a couple 17 year Olds, 32 16 year olds, and a 15 year old wasn't creepy. (The parents knew our family and I was an ahead of schedule grad wit a professional job. So I wasn't a "bad influence. )
I wasn't playing guitar long enough to do the solo so I skatted through it and the sax. Was fun to do.
I was firm about being a guitar player, not a piano player, and the 16 year old wasn't much of a soloist to carry all that.
We didn't work much because most bars were out of the question with 5 of 6 members underage.
It was my one & only attempt at being fully in charge & calling every shot. Never wanted to do that again. But, that was a very fun period musically.
The song brought all that back for me.

11. Neat story Prof. I bet you were a good band leader yet I am glad you were able to bail.

Lowdown's always been a favorite of mine. One of these I'll get halfway serious and do a youtube search for more of "The Box". Thanks!
