No Music here - just wanted to share my KBA (Keeping the Blues Alive) award with the listening audience and to say 'thank-you' for tuning in.

PLEASE NOTE: If you are unable to stream this track, you can opt to download it. It really is quite brilliant.

At this time of year music enthusiasts are putting out lists and Top Tens - I've even been asked to compile a 'Best of the Decade' list. With approximately 30,000 albums released per year - this is a fool hardy task and, at best, can be considered little more than a rough guideline.

Being the fool that I am, I will try, tomorrow (LOL) to put something together; however, here is a song that has absolutley "smitten" my ear of late - and I'd like to share it with you...

Over the past year or so I've formed an online friendship with Mister Ally Lee - who hosts the 'Roots, Rock, Riot Show' at www.lionheartradio.com. Ally's program runs 1:00 - 4:00 p.m. CST. Lee's in-depth knowledge of music adds to a rather "wide" radio playlist - keeping the listener on their toes and ever open to this sound or that. It is the way innovative radio should be...unpredictable and fresh.

Ally Lee also operates a recording studio in his hometown of Alnwick, Northumberland; on the north east coast of England. I was able to visit him this October and be on his show along with other 'Roots, Rock, Riot Show' luminaries including; Paul Shucksmith, Oil Slick Mick, Dave from Shipley and my very dear friend, David Wilson.

Anyway, recently Ally emailed me a track he has just finished, "She Moves Like Water" by a local band, 'The Poor Boys.' It is fantastic and a song I think deserves to be heard and shared. If you think of Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band (circa 1978) and you put JC Fogerty (Creedence Clearwater Revival) in front of THAT band...well you're getting pretty close. I suppose it is no coincidence that one of JC Fogerty's songs, "Down on the Corner" refers to a street corner band, 'Willie and the Poor Boys.' (It is also of interest that former Rollin' Stones bass player Bill Wyman's post-Stones band is 'Willie and the Poor Boys.'

Anyway, enjoy.

If you like this song, or these archival recordings of the 'Pacific Street Blues and Americana' radio program, please share the link with your friends.

Thanks and Season's Greetings across the globe.
