Highlight main blog link while on single post

[emasai]

I have been searching high and low for the answer to this to no avail. I am trying to highlight the Blog link from the primary nav when on a single post. I only have 1 category 'show' which is not on the nav and the menu item id for the Blog page is 19. I have moved the nav into the header as per below

/**  Remove the Primary Navigation and
Move navigation into header */
remove_action( 'genesis_after_header', 'genesis_do_nav' );
add_action('genesis_header', 'genesis_do_nav');

This is function, but nothing is highlighted so am I targeting the wrong hook???

function blog_link_genesis() {
	if( is_single() && in_category('show')) { 
	$current = '#header .menu .current-menu-item #menu-item-19 a';  }
	?>

	<style type="text/css">
	<?php echo $current; ?> { color: #ef4634;}
	</style>
	<?php }

add_action( 'genesis_header' , 'blog_link_genesis'  );

Fixed it, my css was wrong, I had to add this

#header .menu .current-menu-item #menu-item-19 a{
color: #ef4634;
}

Not quite sure why $current does not do the job, but now it works. If a guru would care to explain, please do.
