Barbara Beard Location: Atlanta, GA Posted Thursday, 21 February 2008 07:05	Don't worry Rob, they'll be learning to shag soon.


Kathy Alford Location: Kinston Posted Wednesday, 20 February 2008 17:30	I bet those cows love the Joe Turner song, Morning, Noon & Night. The verse goes something like; Down at the barnyard picking up chips, when along came a moo cow swinging its hips. LOL ! Could your cows be related ?


rob dee Location: McBee Posted Wednesday, 20 February 2008 16:39	I play the Surf all day and night. I have a dairy farm and my cows give more milk when they listen to the Surf. A couple of the new cows like Rap but they don`t give much milk.... so we keep it on the Surf. There was a big fuss over the radio station. We had to hire a "cow whisperer" and he told us what was going on in the barn.

Kathy Alford Location: Kinston Posted Tuesday, 19 February 2008 08:04	Thought I would share an email I received from a band member as to the Proper Way To Request Songs From Bands : When requesting a song from the band, just say "play ... my song!" We have chips implanted in our heads with an unlimited database of the favorite tunes of every patron who ever walked into a bar and all songs ever recorded so feel free to be vague, we love the challenge. If we say we really don't remember that tune you want, we're only kidding. Bands do know every song ever recorded, so keep humming. Hum harder if need be... it helps jog the memory, or just repeat your request over and over again. If a band tells you they do not know a song you want to hear, they either forgot they know the tune or they are just putting you on. Try singing a few words for the band. Any words will do. It also helps to scream your request from across the room several times per set followed by the phras es, "AW COME ON!" [deleted by admin] Exaggerated hand gestures expressing disapproval from the dance floor are a big help as well, such as the thumbs down or your middle finger up put-downs are the best way to jog a band's memory. This instantly promotes you to the status of "Personal Friend Of The Band." You can bet your request will be the next song we play. Entertainers are notorious fakers and jokesters and never really prepare for their shows.They simply walk on stage with no prior thought to what they will do once they arrive. We don't actually make set lists or rehearse songs. We mostly just wait for you to yell something out, then fake it. An entertainer's job is so easy, even a monkey could do it, so don't let them off the hook easily. Your request is all that matters. Once you've figured out what genre of music the band plays, please make your requests from a totally different genre. The more exaggerated the better. If its a blues band playing, yell for some Metallica or Slayer or Pantera. Likewise, if its a death-speed metal band, be sure to request Brown-Eyed Girl or some Grateful Dead. Musicians need to constantly broaden their musical horizons, and its your job to see that it happens....immediately. TALKING WITH THE BAND The best time to discuss anything with the band in any meaningful way is at the middle of a song when all band members are singing at the same time. Our hearing is so advanced that we can pick out your tiny voice from the megawatt wall of sound blasting all around us. And we can converse with you in sign language while singing the song, so don't worry that we're in the middle of the chorus. Musicians are expert lip readers too. If a musician does not reply to your question or comment during a tune, it's because they didn't get a good look at your mouth in order to read your lips. Simply continue to scream your request and be sure to over emphasize the words with your lips . This helps immensely. Don't be fooled. Singers have the innate ability to answer questions and sing at the same time. If the singer doesn't answer your questions immediately, regardless of how stupid the question may seem, it's because they are purposely ignoring you. If this happens, immediately cop an attitude. We love this. IMPORTANT When an entertainer leans over to hear you better, grab his or her head in both hands and yell directly into their ear, while holding their head securely so they cannot pull away.This will be taken as an invitation to a friendly and playful game of tug of war between their head and your hands. Don't give up! Hang on until the singer or guitar player submits. Drummers are often safe from this fun game since they usually sit in the back, protected by the guitar players. Keyboard players are protected by their instrument, and only play the game when tricked into coming from behind their keyboards. Though difficult to ge t them to play, it's not impossible, so keep trying. They're especially vulnerable during the break between songs. HELPING THE BAND If you inform the band that you are a singer, the band will appreciate your help with the next few tunes, or however long you can remain standing on stage. If you're too drunk to stand unassisted, simply lean on one of the band members or the most expensive piece of equipment you see. Just pretend you're in a Karaoke bar. Simply feel free to walk up on stage and join in.By the way, the drunker you are, the better you sound, and the louder you should sing. If by chance you fall off the stage, be sure to crawl back up and attempt to sing harmony. Keep in mind that nothing assists the band more than outrageous dancing, fifth and sixth part harmonies, or a tambourine played on one and three and out of tempo. Try the cowbell; they love the challenge.The band always needs the help and will take this as a compliment. Finally, the microphone and PA system are merely props, they don't really amplify your voice, so when you grab the mic out of the singers hand be sure to scream into it at the top of your lungs, otherwise no one will hear what a great singer you are. Hearing is over-rated anyhow. The crowd and the sound guy will love you for it. BONUS TIP As a last resort, wait until the band takes a break and then get on stage and start playing their instruments. They love this. Even if you are ejected from the club, you can rest assured in the fact you have successfully completed your audition. The band will call you the following day to offer you a position.


Barbara Beard Location: Atlanta Posted Tuesday, 19 February 2008 07:13	I keep music on for my cats when I'm not home. They don't feel so alone, and yes, I'm some kinda nut!


F D Arnette Location: Pawleys Island Posted Tuesday, 19 February 2008 05:56	I wondered why they were gone so long for a beer run!


Kathy Alford Location: Kinston Posted Tuesday, 19 February 2008 03:49	Are the dogs allowed to vote on the Top 40 each week ? You might want to keep a tighter leach on those dogs, I think I saw them shagging in NMB Saturday night.


wendy hill Location: the beach Posted Monday, 18 February 2008 21:27	I am not able to listen at work but do keep the stream on at home for my dogs. The music and voices of the live DJ's - Billy, Ted and Ray - keep them company during the day. R U some kinda nut?


wendy hill Location: the beach Posted Monday, 18 February 2008 21:25	Wendy, I tried your suggestion to find lyrics for Chris Anderson's Last Night, but no luck. I've googled everything I can think of and no luck, but thanks!!! I found em. Keep tryin`

Bonnie Kay Location: Columbia, SC Posted Monday, 18 February 2008 12:50	Y'all are so lucky. Y'all can listen to The Surf while working. Big Brother no longer allows us to do so. I would gladly click on a button in order to listen during the workday again. I DO listen at home!


Webmaster Location: North Myrtle Beach, SC Posted Monday, 18 February 2008 11:27	The time out feature first of all, should only be occuring once every 4 hours. It should only quit and display an 'ok to continue' button. If it is happening more often or is closing, please email stream@949thesurf.com and tell me what browser you use and how often it times out. The reason we implemented the time out is because unfortunately, some listeners were leaving the stream running overnight and over the weekend. The time limit is set for four hours so hopefully during the course of a normal work-day, you will only be affected once - twice if you are putting in extra hours. I am in the process of putting a detailed explanation on the Listen Live page. We apologize for any inconvenience, but hopefully this helps explain why it was necessary.

Raymond E Smith Location: Rock Hill, SC Posted Monday, 18 February 2008 10:29	Give us an explanation for the timing out feature. Don't like it.


F D Arnette Location: Pawleys Island Posted Monday, 18 February 2008 07:33	PLEASE eliminate the timing out feature!


Ed Morrison Location: Bridgeport WV Posted Monday, 18 February 2008 05:11	I can't get the station at all now. It seems that something has chaged but only with the Surf. I get other stations that use the same player and other players with no problems. I miss the surf!


Sam Foust Location: greensboro Posted Sunday, 17 February 2008 16:51	Love the station and music. Hate the new "times up" buton.


wendy hill Location: the beach Posted Friday, 15 February 2008 14:00	Would anyone out there have any suggestions as to how to get the words to the song "Last Night" by Chris Anderson and DJ Robbie?? Love the song! Google: Last Night chris anderson lyrics


Judy Jackson Location: myrtle beach, SC Posted Friday, 15 February 2008 11:52	Would anyone out there have any suggestions as to how to get the words to the song "Last Night" by Chris Anderson and DJ Robbie?? Love the song!


freddie harmon Location: Gaffney Posted Thursday, 14 February 2008 13:45	We are coming down tomorrow to Ocean Lake, they have Beach and Boogie, this time every year on Friday and Saturday. Craig Willard Band and the Band of Oz will be there and if you never tried it, it is great, plenty of room to shag without having to bump into to someone and they only serve water and soft drinds and you can shag away and have a greqt time, plus no smoking.


Butch Cannon Location: Tarboro, NC Posted Thursday, 14 February 2008 08:05	Happy Valentine's Day! Just a quick line to wish all the listeners and posters of 94.9 a very Happy Valentine's Day. Be sure to take care of your soul partner on this special day.


gail Location: winston Posted Wednesday, 13 February 2008 07:38	I've actually heard of some clubs that started only selling bottled water and switched back to giving shaggers ice water because they were scared that they would thirst to death and be greasy spots on the dance floor


freddie harmon Location: Gaffney Posted Tuesday, 12 February 2008 13:58	Drink water and act like an adult who still loves to shag and shag all you want to, where ever you can find a place and let it go. Maybe they ought to Re-open "The Pad," like ole times in the 60's. There were times we just shagged in the streets.


Barbara Beard Location: atlanta Posted Tuesday, 12 February 2008 13:37	Gail, if you were listening to music from the '20s and '30s, that wasn't beach music to begin with. The origins of the R&B beat that started beach music did start in the '40s and '50s. I don't mind some of the '50s songs, but it was really the '60s that so many of us grew up with that define the beach music sound. A lot of that music varied, and much of it is too fast to shag to. The blues you listen to today is the true shag beat, but not considered what a lot of us call beach music.


Butch Cannon Location: Tarboro, NC Posted Tuesday, 12 February 2008 12:25	Young people, such as your daughter, should be given the opportunity to listen to great older music. If they do not like it, fine. I have two daughters who I tried to basically force beach music on them and they both could care less about it. Honestly, I do not care, as I love the old music and as long as it is available to ME, that is what I want to hear. Along with the newer songs, of course.


gail Location: Winston s Posted Tuesday, 12 February 2008 11:39	I love to listen to"beach music" shows on the radio when the rare times occur that its on. Sunday, we were riding along listening to a "beachmusic" show and our young daughter kept wanting us to change the station.Finally I had to change it because the OLD WORE OUT songs the Dee JAy was playing were laughable.WE were literally laughing along with our daughter at how BAD these songs were!!New blues songs by the Coastline Band & Jim Quick are great and not what we're talking about. Its the ones that sucked 50yrs ago when they were 1st out and still suck today. They may be good to shag to but they are terrible for listening.And, if anyone is thinking that young folks are going to become "beach music" fans like most of us, by listening to re hashed crap from the 40's & 50's ,maybe 20's & 30's , they are saddly WRONG!!!


Barbara Beard Location: Atlanta Posted Tuesday, 12 February 2008 07:18	And I thought it was just Atlanta that was cheap when it comes to shag clubs. Duke, you don't bother me a bit being a "Cock". As for Butch, sorry for you being a Duke fan, unless you went to school there. It is a sad state of affairs that so many beach music lovers can't support a venue they supposedly love, and it's right there at the beach. I do wonder about the "blues DJ" thing, as it seems there are some that want to play mostly blues instead of beach. I just wasn't aware that it was being done at the clubs as well as on the radio. I'm assuming the people that want a blues DJ are also the people that support the blues bands that call themselves beach bands.
