** Smiles
------------------------------------------------------------
The great New Orleans listener supported radio station, WWOZ, is chock full of smiles. They had me grinning last week nonstop—even when I had to leave the Crescent City for my flight home.

Driving up I-10 toward the airport, bouncing along to WWOZ is one of my favorite pastimes. Last Friday afternoon was sun splashed with soft bayou breezes blowing and WWOZ played a mix of blues, funk, rock and jazz—the very DNA of rock and roll. When they played a groovy number over the airwaves by the late bluesman John Lee Hooker, I indeed felt lucky to be where I was.

How influential is John Lee Hooker? How fantastic of a musician was he?  Was there ever a cooler performer? You can answer that after you watch this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUjXFVk5LtE&utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=7bdeb81e17-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2016_11_02&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-7bdeb81e17-145367789) .
