    Just as a sad aside but one that many people should be aware of: The wonderful Kirsty MacColl must certainly today be an Angel for what she did in December 2000: While vacationing in Mexico & diving/swimming in a restricted area (for boats) MacColl saw a speeding boat come towards her sons before her sons did; while 13-year old Louis was not in the boat's path Kirsty saw that her 15-year old Jamie was in its path. Kirsty's quick thinking & instincts resulted in her successfully pushing Jamie out of the way of the speeding boat -- but, Kirsty was struck and killed. She saved her son's life. It's what a mother does. I always admired Kirsty for that tragic bravery...I know I won't forget her.

      I knew Kristy had passed, but I wasn't aware that it was in so tragic a manner. I will always love her "He's On The Beach". I joined the Navy in '79 for the explicit purpose of seeing Australia. The Navy, however, had different plans. Consequently, I didn't get there until 2005!!! But when I did get there, as I headed from the airport in Brisbane to the place where I was staying, I was blasting "He's On The Beach" on my mp3. Thanks Kristy, you're the best!

    This song is one of the great unknowns of popular music
    It has spent more time in the British music charts than any other song.
    Voted this year...the most popular Cristmas song of all time.
