Wow, good times, good times...
Friday May 23 was an AWESOME experience for me. Counted down the Top 91.3 Beach Music songs of all time. Yes, there WAS a "point-3" song: "Dancin, Shaggin On The Boulevard" by Alabama.
Went from 3 to 9 pm with just a one hour break from 5 to 6 for the debut of WVKR's new talk show, but ....um....the host didn't show up. The guest did, though! Luckily Noah was there to fill in with some INCREDIBLE 60s garage/psychedelic music. It was his last day at the station; we'll miss him.
Got a few calls wondering how a "Beach Music" show could NOT feature any Beach Boys or Dick Dale tunes! Good question. Here's the answer:
Beach Music is extremely popular in the Carolinas, as far north as Virginia and as far south as northern Florida. It has nothing to do with surf music or the Beach Boys or California. It is mainly R&B music with a beat that is good for doing a dance called "The Shag."
Once again, you listeners came through with your calls. Put several of you on the air which was a LOT of fun. A great way to celebrate my FOURTH anniversary in the time slot following The KING of Friday Afternoons--Primitive George.
See you Friday May 30 for a regular edition of "The Lost And Found Oldies Show" and may I wish CHUCK from NEW PALTZ a Happy Birthday!
