Oops. looks like I shoulda made it clearer about what I meant by "Beach Music". From WIKIpedia:
Beach music, also known as Carolina beach music, is a regional genre which developed from various musical styles of the forties, fifties and sixties. These styles ranged from big band swing instrumentals to the more raucous sounds of blues/jump blues, jazz, doo-wop, boogie, rhythm and blues, reggae, rockabilly and old-time rock and roll. Beach music is closely associated with the style of swing dance known as the shag, or the Carolina shag, which is also the official state dance of both North Carolina and South Carolina. Recordings with a 4/4 "blues shuffle" rhythmic structure and moderate-to-fast tempo are the most popular music for the shag, and the vast majority of the music in this genre fits that description.
Lotta good tunes, but I think last year's Memorial Day Beach Music special worked better because I mixed up the categories above whereas today I sorta lumped 'em all together. Oh well. It was still great to have Sam The Tattoo Man sit in with me. A heckuva nice guy. And he brought me a new copy of the original "Everything's Archie" LP! Cool!Email me if you wanna know where to get tattoo'd!
Totally forgot to mention it was 5 Memorial Days ago that I got the Friday 3pm gig following the amazing Primitive Show. A dream come true!
Remember Primitive George starts "The Primitive Soul Show" Wednesdays 8 to 10 pm all this summer. I hope to join him on occasion, maybe even THIS Thursday May 27 since I will NOT be doing a show May 29. I'll be in Detroit Rock City for my niece's high school graduation.
Would love your feedback on today's show and how you feel about a whole summer of '69 from 3 to 5 this summer.
Thanks for listening and Happy Memorial Day; let's honor our vets!
Sammy
