Boz Scaggs - The Memphis Tour October 31
A casual listen to the Boz Scaggs discography makes one thing obvious:
Boz Scaggs is both a musical seeker and a man of sizable talent as a singer,
songwriter and guitarist. His explorations in blues and r&b, rock and jazz
have produced lasting work and a career that has brought with it acclaim, a
loyal following, and an enduring respect among musicians.
William Royce “Boz” Scaggs started playing in bands during high school in
Dallas in the sixties. He entered college at the University of Wisconsin in
Madison and soon after decided instead to devote himself to journeyman
playing around campuses and various clubs and resorts. Scaggs’ guitar and
voice provided his self-described “ticket to ride” as he left the States to travel
in Europe, the Middle East and Asia. He developed a club following in Sweden
and began his recording career there in 1965 with a solo album for Polydor.
Curiosity along with yearning for a blues and R&B band brought him to San
Francisco in 1967. After a stint with fellow Texan Steve Miller on several
albums, he signed a recording contract with Atlantic Records and debuted
with Boz Scaggs, produced by friend and Rolling Stone founder Jann Wenner.
Critical acclaim followed, as did a long-term relationship with Columbia
Records. Boz would make seven records for Columbia including Moments, Boz
Scaggs and Band, My Time, and Slow Dancer, and featured songs such as “We
Were Always Sweethearts,” “Dinah
Flo,” “You Make It So Hard,” and “Slow
Dancer.” Then came the multiplatinum 1975 release, Silk Degrees
featuring hits like “Lowdown” which
won the Grammy Award for “Best
R&B Song,” Lido Shuffle, What Can
I Say and the ballad We’re All Alone
which became a worldwide hit for
Rita Coolidge. Following Silk Degrees
was Down Two Then Left, Middle
Man and Hits, a compilation that
featured the as yet unrecorded Miss
Sun and the song from the motion
picture Urban Cowboy, “Look What
You’ve Done To Me.”

Newark Midland Theatre Association Inc.
Our Mission
“Enrich the lives of our audiences and community”
On December 20, 1928, just a few days before Christmas, the sidewalks of the Newark, Ohio Town
Square were filled with shoppers in search of last-minute gifts. Amidst all the hustle and bustle, on
North Park Place there was a line of people standing in place for hours, or, according to an account
in the local paper, paying young boys to stand there for them. They braved the elements so that
they could be the first to get a glimpse of Newark’s newest entertainment establishment.
In 1978, The Midland Theatre was forced to closed. A power outage during the “Blizzard of ‘78”
caused the boilers to freeze and crack, sealing the theatre’s fate.
For 14 years, The Midland stood unused. The splendor of the architecture had faded, and
deterioration continued unabated. Talk arose of demolishing the once-proud theatre, now an
eyesore and a hazard. All that remained was the shell of the former glory...and the memories.
In 1992, Dave Longaberger and The Longaberger Company purchased The Midland Theatre. As a
tribute to Dave’s vision, The Longaberger Company undertook an 8-year, $8.5 million renovation
and restoration of the theatre. Upon completion, The Longaberger Company had no desire to
operate the theatre, instead entrusting the property to The Newark Midland Theatre Association,
a non-profit organization.

February; President’s Day weekend: Enough is enough! Jon and Ida Kadish
are defecting. Life in the United States is different. No nuclear explosions or
widespread epidemics have occurred, but the America we grew up in, the land
that we loved is gone. Personal freedoms have been trampled. Israeli/US relations
are severed after they bomb Iran:
• Retirement age is seventy-five.
• Healthcare is rationed.
• The NSA, FBI and the IRS monitor everyone.
• More than marijuana is legal.
• Exit Permits are needed to leave the country.
• There is no escape.
Jon and Ida embark on a tension filled drive to the Canadian border, but it’s not as
easy as they had hoped. Shapiro once more writes of a journey… of mysterious
people they meet, of bureaucratic obstacles, new opportunities, & intrigue that
envelop them from startling places, in just the next few days…

energy in the arts.
“Jazz Musicians,” original painting by Cynthia Lou Freytag
Art serves as a very important function in our community, an
outlet for self-expression while contributing to a beautiful society.
People need beautiful things to look at, experience, and enjoy
everyday. Because art is a form of the human condition, the
closest way to bring this to view is through arts and theater.
The Energy Cooperative is working hard to provide a better
quality of life for our community, our members.
That’s the cooperative difference.
