Funny you would mention that. I read an interesting revisionist review of 
Silk Degrees recently, and plan to get the remastered CD with bonus (live) 
cuts based on it. I owned it as well when I was a wee one, but sold it years 
ago during one of my many purges, when the Scaggs name on the LP's spine 
sent shivers down mine. 

Boz owns Slim's in San Francisco, and I used to see him there when I came to 
see other artists performing. He always seemed like an approachable and 
friendly fellow. 

I hear the one preceeding Silk Degrees -- Slow Dancer -- is also quite good, 
though much less slick.
