Wasn't that the point of the scene, that we were all so amazed by Boz's coolness? One might suggest that "Helen" was stealing focus by trying to speak-up. I mean, come on folks- all of us can speak, but how many of could exude cool at age 17?- aside from The Fonz, I mean.
 

Boz Scaggs went to IAHS?!?!?!
 

Ginger, have you let Boz onto this little secret blog world of ours?

Joe, notice the warm lacunae of sepia-toned light bathing this TABleau. I stage managed this show and recieved a SO each night for the technical brillance of the production. Can you make a similar claim for that stuff you do with 8-tracks or close&plays or whatever?

Jeff, reflections/analysis on the Lido shuffle?
 

Some things lie beyond the musicologist's analytical grasp and remain in a pure state of untouchable beauty, and, well, here's one of them, yet I can't help noting the melismatic effusion that draws our ear to the ingenious mix of internal and end rhymes on the long "o" sound in the song's memorable refrain:

Lido, whoa-oh-oh-oh

He's for the money, he's for the show

Lido's waitin' for the go

And may I add that a singer well versed in the period's performance practice conventions might also do well to pronounce "for" as "fo'"--a faux (if you'll forgive the pun) dialect device we've heard recently in that instant-classic rap "Pimp the Set Brown."
 

Boz has been invited...
 

I think Mealy's looking at ERIC. What do you make of that? Sizing him up for the upcoming vote, you think?
 

I don't know, what is Mealy doing with his right hand? Look at the fold in the fabric; I think he could be goosing Boz.

Boz, only you can clear this up.
 

If I WAS being goosed, I don't remember it.
Good grief - good thing I didn't persue acting. I look ridiculous.
 

But you were still COOL.
