Boz Scaggs. We try to see the incredibly gifted Boz as often as we can, which isn’t to say every time we can.

We last saw him at the most terrific mid-sized venue in the area, the Scottish Rite Auditorium in Collingswood. We went with friends who also love Boz. It snowed that night — we had a blizzard.

Boz payed his heart out, started early and ended early, because he knew his  band and crew had to make it across the Delaware River to their hotel in Philadelphia and, well, there was a blizzard.

Last night, the amazingly low-key Boz Scaggs had no opening act at the Scottish Rite. Several minutes after radio legend Michael Tearson gave his introduction, Boz and his band just ambled on stage. Boz strapped on a guitar and talked, about how things were the last time he was at the Scottish Rite.

As it turned out, once he got the band and crew safely ensconced in the hotel, all flights were canceled, so they had to hang out in Philly a couple days more.
