rob dee Location: mcbee Posted Monday, 10 December 2007 17:19	To Michael Jumper, It seems I remember a big controversy regarding the voting on the CBMA with regards to the Coastline band in their earlier days. Maybe JD could refresh us on what went on with that. I don`t remember much about it but heard about some kind of fuss. Did they fix all that? Thanks in advance.


michael carl jumper Location: NMB Posted Monday, 10 December 2007 16:47	Billy Ray, Please note that the awards presented by the CBMAs were based on votes by people who care enough about the industry to join the organization and VOTE!!! Each member is enitled to a vote (AKA an opinion). No artists or bands were shafted. The bands that reach the people were recognized by the VOTE, thus the awards. We consider members of many of the bands mentioned in the previous e-mail entries to be our friends and we venture out to support these bands on a regular basis. Many FANS of all the bands will tell you the most fun part of the performance is when the band performs THEIR MUSIC. It is what makes them special. It's why we go to see Sea Cruz, CWB, The Fantastic Shakers, The Holiday Band, The Band of Oz, and Coastline. This just touches the surface of the many, many artists and bands out there that work hard to entertain us week after week. Unlike you, many members of the bands listed above have been to a Coastline Show. And members of Coastline have been out to support those bands,,, because it a family!! It's what families do, we suport one another!!. Many times I have seen members of bands invited to get on stage with Coastline and perform during a show. Coastline artists have been invited to perform on stage with the other bands. Egomaniacs DO NOT voluntarily share the spotlight. We love the music of all the bands. They all have something to contribute to the BEACH MUSIC MIX, but right now Coastline seems to be catching the negative "HEAT". Coastline, through many hours of hard work and much talent have developed a style and line-up of original music that practically fills their show, with requests to REPEAT some of 'their songs'. Many of which they can't fit into the evening. They give all they have and always leave the crowd wanting more. They have not forgotten where they started and have not lost sight of where they want to go. They embrace their friends (aka fans for the smaller minded people). Not only do the 'friends' have a great time at the show but it is obvious that the band enjoys what they do. That's what makes it "COASTLINE TIME". Thanks to all you guys for being true to yourselves and therefore giving us the best you can be!! We love you all, Michael and Pam Ha


rob dee Location: mcbee Posted Monday, 10 December 2007 16:11	Folks on here discussing the Coastline Band. I heard the Coastline song Turn me Over today. Neat song but I wonder how Jim Quick made it this far smoking Lucky Strikes, chugging all that Mad Dog wine and beer, and smoking all that wacky weed. He wants to go back and do all that over he might not make it through again. I like that song though.


Barbara Beard Location: Atlanta, GA Posted Monday, 10 December 2007 14:48	You're quite welcome, Mr. Cash. You're right, there's no place like HOME!!


JD CASH Location: NMB,SC Posted Monday, 10 December 2007 13:18	Thank You for the kind words Barbara & Ruth Anne. I appreciate it. The older I get I find I have less time to worry about some peoples negative comments. As the late comedian Richard Pryor used to say, " IF THERE WERE BLUE PEOPLE ON EARTH, SOMEBODY WOULD HATE THEM " Ive had my share of Ups & Downs in the music business just like everyone else has, but its all Ive ever done and Ive been doing it full time for 43 years. Yes its true that I DJ at 2001 as a regular job which I enjoy very much, but I still sing at a few clubs & do private singing engagements and special events as well as performing with an 18 piece orchestra occasionally when the budget is there. There are many many facets to the music business and they are all a big part of a bands success such as promotion, booking agents,etc. I still enjoy recording and performing, but Im tired of driving all over the United States week after week. Ive always been fond of Myrtle Beach and the people who come here year after year since Working the Holiday Inns here back in 1974. Back in those days when we would get a weeks vacation from our road schedule, I would always come here to relax. My Sinatra Act does well in Florida for the SNOWBIRDS and I still perform in the Keys occassionally, but I was born and raised in the Carolinas and theres NO PLACE LIKE HOME ! Thank You....JD CASH


wendy hill Location: the beach Posted Monday, 10 December 2007 12:42	I`m all for the Bubblegum! Come on Lonne Givens, General J, Legends of Beach, OZ, Holiday, Tams, Jackie G, write us some more of that sweet CAROLINA BEACH MUSIC! Chew chew snap pop ahhhhhh


Billy Ray Location: ocean drive Posted Monday, 10 December 2007 12:27	Hey Billy Ray my friend !!!!! Thank you for researching and sharing the CBMA Awards Mission Statement. Did I see the words OFFSHOOTS and say it ain't so..... CAROLINA LIFESTYLE ????? hmmmmmm Thanks Ruth Anne, I guess "offshoots" of CBM could include a lot of variants as long as the songs relate to CBM in some way. Including Swamp Boogie as long as they sing about anything related to CBM and/or have a "shaggable" beat. Maybe someone will someday get a CBMA for a Rap/Shag song at 118-120 BPM Maybe it will appeal to the younger shaggers...I`m sure Jimmy Q. could write one. LOL I have discovered on here that my preference is the "real" Carolina Beach Music "bubblegum stuff..(thank you JD) for explaining that. Maybe some new songs will come out soon in that style.


Ruth Anne Helms Location: Fayetteville,N.C. Posted Monday, 10 December 2007 10:59	Hey Billy Ray my friend !!!!! Thank you for researching and sharing the CBMA Awards Mission Statement. Did I see the words OFFSHOOTS and say it ain't so..... CAROLINA LIFESTYLE ????? hmmmmmm


Barbara Beard Location: Atlanta, GA Posted Monday, 10 December 2007 10:38	Windy Hill, glad to hear someone "young" likes that type of music.


wendy hill Location: the beach Posted Monday, 10 December 2007 09:20	Whoops...sorry ..I meant Barbara...sorry Barb, I got so excited over CBM that I almost swallowed my bubblegum...and posted to Ruth Anne by mistake


wendy hill Location: the beach Posted Monday, 10 December 2007 09:14	From Ruth: BTW, I love what some call the "bubblegum" beach, as that's what I loved growing up. I'd love to hear some bands write more of it. MEEE TOOOO! Write more and better "bubblegum" Carolina Beach Music songs! They are the best! Some of the rest is ok but give me some more of that "bubblegum" Ruth Anne! I am young...and I`m foolish...and Happy about this beach music!


Barbara Beard Location: Atlanta, GA Posted Monday, 10 December 2007 09:00	For all of those that are unfamiliar with JD Cash, you should go to his website and listen to some of his music. JD is from my hometown in NC. He was with the Castaways when they were developing and playin true beach music. He's known to be a great entertainer. That comes from a next door neighbor I grew up with that has played in music since he was a teenager. JD is only explaining how the industry works. I don't believe he has disagreed with the real issue that Billy Ray brought up, just trying to educate and give us an insight as to the business end of things. While I don't always agree with what some people are calling beach music, please don't insinuate that JD doesn't know what he's talking about. He has a plethora of knowledge that we lay people out here are unaware of. BTW, I love what some call the "bubblegum" beach, as that's what I loved growing up. I'd love to hear some bands write more of it.


Billy Ray Location: oceandrive Posted Monday, 10 December 2007 08:30	Thanks JD Cash for your post on "Carolina Beach Music" some shaggers call "bubblegum." I am a fan of that music. Jim Quick`s opinion of Carolina Beach Music as "lifestyle" I don`t quite understand. I agree with what you said, and what Fessa Hook discribes in his book. Quick did say he wasn`t a Carolina Beach Music Band yet he won several Carolina Beach Music Awards. In trying to fit all this together would I be correct to say: Quick puts his "non Beach Music" to a shaggable beat, (as Brian said)promotes it in this genre by playing the Beach Clubs, and the listners and dancers here accept it. Result being: that you DO NOT have to write Carolina Beach Music to win Carolina Beach Music Awards. So a Cammy like a Grammy is an award for ALL genres and styles of songs? from the Cammy homepage: The mission of the CBMA Awards is to promote Carolina Beach Music, its influences and offshoots and the unique Carolina lifestyle by the presentation of a first class awards show...


Ruth Anne Helms Location: Fayetteville, N.C. Posted Monday, 10 December 2007 07:49	Anyone discussing Carolina Beach Music and thinking JD Cash is just a Dj at 2001 is really kind of funny !!! I don 't know jack about promotion, recording etc. etc. I know I love ALL of this music and like learning about it. JD has lived it and any and all insight and information he gives I most certainly consider a valuable "expert" opinion.And I'm sure many others agree. and JD, since some folks (while they have a right) seem to get some sort of pleasure voicing negative opinions, let me take the oportunity to tell you that You ARE the freaking Frank Sinatra of beach music !!!! You have a beautiful smooth voice that I love to hear. I am always thrilled when bands invite you up on stage to sing. It's always a treat !! I look forward to it and hope for it when I see you in the crowd. Now here's the funny part , until recently, I didn't know you were a Dj at 2001 !!!! Go figure !!!!!


Lee Carey Location: Virginia Beach Posted Monday, 10 December 2007 07:14	Wow! Not only can beach folks dance barefoot in the sand...we have valid opinions. I agree with JD and the great song by the Tams. I picture the super memories of dancin' to that one on the beach after a day of surfin'. Loved holding my girl's hand and a Bud. I do think two excellent beach bands who survived this thread deserve to be mentioned in a positive way: The Embers and The Band of Oz. No matter what genre people feel this music falls into, in fact, I don't care if you call it 'Sand Music', Sunburn Music, or Old Stuff, it's the best. I define it as happy, positive, great beat stuff, and so-ooo much fun to listen, sing along with, and dance to. As a drummer, I know good music...and we have good music down here...so, let's keep enjoyin' it, and give credit and thanks to all of the fine musicians performing it for us... From Sandbridge Beach, I send sandy high-fives to all of you guys and girls...keep smilin'...Lee


JD CASH Location: NMB,SC Posted Monday, 10 December 2007 04:45	One More Thought. If I had to choose one song that portrays what the sound and the lifestyle of Carolina Beach Music is supposed to be. It would be, BE YOUNG BE FOOLISH BE HAPPY by The Tams...The song says it all. Merry Christmas Everyone!


JD CASH Location: NMB. SC Posted Monday, 10 December 2007 04:31	To Rob Dee from Macbee....Rob, I used to record in Nashville at Acuff-Rose Studios which was owned by the late Roy Acuff because my Producer at the time was Alan Moore , a Nashville based Producer but Im not a country artist. Acuuf -Rose studios is where The Everly Brothers recorded all their hits. At the time in the 70s when I was recording in Nashville, I was actually living in St. Louis, Mo singing lead for Bob Kuban & The Inmen whose 1966 recording of The Cheater went # 1 worldwide and is now in the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame as well as being a huge Carolina Beach Music Classic.....JD Cash


JD CASH Location: NMB, SC Posted Monday, 10 December 2007 03:59	To Brandy From WENDELL NC, FYI, Down At Myrtle Beach was written & copywtrited as a derivitive of a song call BUCKHEAD BEACH which was originally recorded by THE Original Embers with Jackie Gore. Johnny Barker produced the record for me and it was placed on my SUMMERPLACE CD as a tribute to My Favorite Summerplace which is Myrtle Beach and also as a tribute to one of my all time favorite singers, Jackie Gore. There was also a version of the song called At Virginia Beach recorded by the late Bill Deal.


JD CASH Location: NMB,SC Posted Monday, 10 December 2007 03:46	Greetings, No Im not a country artist and Im not related to Johnny Cash. Im currently DJing at 2001 but recorded and traveled with bands for well over 30 years. I still perform at many private functions every year but have no desire to hit the road again. 30 years was enough. I was signed to GRT Records in Nashville in 1976 but that doesnt mean Im a Country artist. GRT also had offices in Los Angeles. I dont claim to be an expert, George, but Ive certainly recorded my share of songs over the years. In 1983, I was 1984 I was Vice Pesident Of The Beach Music Awards for three years before going to work for the late concert promoter, Cecil Corbett. We did shows with acts such as Michael Jackson, Rod Stewart, Elton John, The Rolling Stones, Bruce Springstein just to mention a few, so I believe I have a little knowledge of the music business. As to the term , Bubble Gum Beach Music. This is a term the Shaggers gave to real Carolina Beach Music as many of them prefer to call County, Boogie, Blues & Old SOUL MUSIC - Beach Music. They dance to a variety of music and call it all Beach Music which just isnt the case. It has really confused the world as to what Beach Music is. The Shag is a Great Dance which can be done to all kinds of Music and Carolina Beach Music had a distinctive sound in the 60s & 70s & 80s and belongs to the Carolinas. It was a happy positive music ! Not all Beach Music was made for shagging. There are alot of Classic Slow Beach Music songs also. The Shag is a Dance and Beach Music is an artform of music which belongs to the Carolinas. Believe It or Not ! JD Cash


george Location: MB Posted Sunday, 09 December 2007 21:50	i didn't know that he was a nashville country artist! I guess he moved to his "summerplace" in Myrtle Beach to retire


rob dee Location: mcbee Posted Sunday, 09 December 2007 21:46	JD Cash is Johnny Cash`s nephew and sang on tour back in the 70`s I was told. He was a Grammy nominee. That is what some girls said he told them at SOS


rob dee Location: mcbee Posted Sunday, 09 December 2007 21:33	JD Cash is Johnny Cash`s nephew and sang on tour back in the 70`s I was told. He was a Grammy nominee.


george Location: MB Posted Sunday, 09 December 2007 20:53	Since when did JD Cash become an expert on the music bus? I thought he was a dj at 2001


Billy Ray Location: ocean drive Posted Sunday, 09 December 2007 16:44	Jim Quick writes: Third, "Callin'" is not a cover tune. Cashbox magazine writes: The CD contains two songs written by nationally renowned rockin’ blues guitarist Tinsley Ellis (Callin’ and Somebody) – not only did the band cover the tunes but they also got Tinsley to perform on them! Reading the review is why I thought one of the 2 songs I like on Sneakin` record was a cover.

Billy Ray Location: ocean drive Posted Sunday, 09 December 2007 11:43	After reading so many comments posted regarding Coastline, I have a question. Are people voting for them because they are talented, because they like the type of music they play, or because they love Jim Quick? I'm not that familiar with them (I'll admit I'm not crazy about their "style", so what I have heard more than not is that they promote beach music, although it's not necessarily their venue. Nice discussion... Barbara and Ruth Ann


Barbara Beard Location: Atlanta, GA Posted Sunday, 09 December 2007 10:53	Ruth Anne, you're too funny! I just wish these bands that are getting more into that country "twang" and away from beach would try it out in the country arena. If they're good enough, the country music fans will embrace them.


Ruth Anne Helms Location: FayettevilleN.C. Posted Sunday, 09 December 2007 10:36	Hey Barbara, I think you hit the nail on the head . People vote for Coastline because they are talented, love their music and love Jim Quick and the rest of the group too. I'm not sure that it's entirely the case that they are being pushed into beach music. I think it's more that beach music is embracing them and welcoming them in. As far as the country thing,I most definately understand where you're coming from . All my life when I would hear some "twang" it was like fingers on the chalkboard.Just hate country music. For the last ten years it's been an area of contention between me and my husband . He likes it , I don't. He dials it in, I cringe, I criticise it, he retaliates,we argue. Which is okay 'cause sometimes it also involves make up sex an gifts. Anyway, over the past few months I've been to several Holiday Band shows and what did they do but play 2 popular country songs that normally I hate !!! But lo and behold I looked down and OMG my toes were tappin' and and Lord have mercy my hands were clappin' and I almost went for the fist pump to the air !!!I looked over and hubby hadn't seen so I reigned it all in real quick (you know ,the gift thing and all). But I learnrd something that day .... never say never .... any given day, any band, any song, you never know when something might stir something you didn't know was there.


Ruth Anne Helms Location: Fayetteville N.C. Posted Sunday, 09 December 2007 09:32	The Craig Woolard Band is phenominal !!! I am a Coastline Crazy but I'm also a Craig Woolard.... Wacko ??? Whatever the term might be. And I feel the same about some other bands and individule artists for that matter. It came together for Coastline this year. They earned it, they deserved it and they got it. Does that mean others didn't earn it or deserve it ? Absolutely Not !!! Not every one can win. Yeah, Coastline won big , and I say , Coastline, savor it !! taste it, swish it around on your tongue , hell, just get down and roll in it (okay I know you already have). And as for Craig Wollard band being "shafted" ... I would never assume so much to speak for anyone else but IMHO Craig Woolard probably wouldn't use that term (and I know you never said he did). But you may have inadvertently took something away from Craig, which I don 't think was your intent. Craig Woolard has already been in those shoes.... he knows what it felt like. Disaappointed ?? Yeah, he's human, but honoring someone else is not a dishonor to you and I don 't think "shafted " was in his thoughts. en
