boz scaggs - georgia (studio-1976) instantly takes me back to weekend visits with my bio dad

he loved 'silk degrees' when it came out, so it was on the turntable ALL THE TIME for a while there when I was 10-ish, at his house in Oakland, right by Fenton's on Piedmont Blvd.

And this was a fave of his ... given he was not only born in the state of Georgia (before moving to Oakland as a kid), but that was also his mothers name.

So this one goes out to my Daddy Jim, and Grandma Georgia



Papa JimJim (a Teamster and life-long Union man, and music fan) a year before we lost him to pancreatic cancer, with his granddaughter (my niece) outside Emil Villa's Hickory Pit, Walnut Creek, CA.
