There I was, all ready for the first edition of The Music Box LIVE!! for 2022, a brief lookback at some personal highlights of 2021, and I had technical issues in the studio so it didn't happen!Rather than waste the preparation, I thought I would simply put it together as a podcast..............the show that got away, as it were!  :-)So, here it be.  I dedicate this two hours to good friend and all round nice guy Steve Hodson, who sadly passed away recently after battling illness.  In truth, it was hard to get my mojo to do this, but Steve would have said "do it pal", so onwards we go.  Rest well Steve, love you mate and no doubt I'll see you at some of those great gigs on the other side. xxWill Downing - Stand Up (US Sophisticated Soul Promo MP3 2021)Alvin Garrett feat.
