Barbara Beard Location: Atlanta, GA Posted Thursday, 13 March 2008 15:36	Hey Pamela, what is the Four Knights website?


Barbara Beard Location: Atlanta, GA Posted Thursday, 13 March 2008 09:12	Thanks Wendy and Pamela. I'll check out the song, Wendy. I'd love to be able to hear the band. I'm thinking about taking some vacation in August where I'll be in NC and VA. Perhaps I can arrange to make it over there to hear them. I love horns. They're my favorite in the jazz arena. I'll take listen online.


Pamela Location: Jacksonville, NC Posted Thursday, 13 March 2008 08:23	Barbara, You are right, we are all here for beach music. And as always "you can't please all the people all the time." If you are ever in eastern NC near Wilmington, there is a place called Frankie's. My husbands band The Four Knights(beach/motown)plays there at least once a month. Go to their website and you can listen to a couple of clippets from them and also view their dates for playing. They have an awesome horn section. Hope you enjoy them, and I hope you get to come to eastern NC soon for the great beach music scene.


wendy hill Location: the beach Posted Thursday, 13 March 2008 01:22	Barbara, I like your comments. Have you heard the song on: This is It/ KHP called: On the Beach Tonight...John Franklin. It`s "bubblegummy". You know I like that WH


Barbara Beard Location: Atlanta Posted Wednesday, 12 March 2008 19:14	Listen guys, I agree that some of the songs leave something to be desired, but there are some others out there (including the latest from the Castaways) where you've got "want to be country singers" not sounding so good. They definitely aren't beach music singers, but who am I to question why their music gets played. Nevertheless, there's no reason to get nasty about it. We all share one thing in common, we like beach music. I'd love to hear the band that plays beach and Motown. Unfortunately, I'm in Georgia and don't have an opportunity get back to the Carolinas often. I do believe "that lady" was more upset at her name not being known than she was the music.


Ben Carter Location: Wilmington, NC Posted Wednesday, 12 March 2008 15:15	Right On Rob... Everyone seemed quick to jump on someone (Joy) who started the truth that the Souls songs were not that good. Thanks for telling it like it is. I too thought "Standing Up In A Hammack" and "She's Yours, She's Mine" was not good enough to make it on anyones chart. Can't believe 94.9 even put it on their Voting List. Now I did like the Carousel's songs, so maybe that will help Tony Baker and the Souls improve any music in the future... Ben Carter


rob dee Location: McBEE Posted Wednesday, 12 March 2008 14:39	That woman from Goldsboro is right..."In a hammock standing up" is almost as bad as that "your eyes all over me" song that that Wheeler girl tries to sing.


Pamela Location: Jacksonville, NC Posted Wednesday, 12 March 2008 13:17	Being the wife of a musician that has played with Henry Jones, Tony Baker, Rick Dixon, David Terry and many, many others over the past 22 years. I can say without a doubt these men pour their heart and soul into the music they perform and love every minute of it. Unfortunately, not everyone has the pleasure of knowing the private lives of these individuals and the dedication and devotion they give to do this. Many hours goes into practice, travel, setup and play time to give the people a show they will remember. All this said, their families have to be willing to sacrifice of themselves to allow their husbands, fathers and grandfathers a chance to do what they LOVE. Ms. Thomas, I understand your disappointment in the breakup of The Carousel Band. Being a personal friend of Henry Jones and David Terry both, it was not an easy decision to make. But, in this business of music, there are times where timing is everything and you have to take it when you can. That said, please understand that Tony Baker, Henry Jones and Rick Dixon teaming up to bring back the original Carousels is going to take time to get back in the groove again. These are very talented men with alot to offer the Beach music industry. Give them a chance to get used to playing together again and get in the play time they need to bring us the sound we know they can give. They aren't as young as they used to be (sorry guys, but I've known you along time.) As for David Terry and the others, they will be fine. They are all very talented and will make their mark in this industry also. My husband has played in bands for the past 23 years in all areas of music, country, beach, top40,etc. He is know a member of a band that performs a mixture of both beach, and motown. They are GREAT if I do say so myself, but it takes alot of work and time away from their families. BUT, it is what makes them who they are and we love all of them for it. They all continue to be great friends in this industry and never hesitate to help a brother out when in need. From the old Carousel Band to the new/original Carousel band to the new endeavors of David Terry, they will all shine. Much love, Pam Keil wife of a member of The Four Knights Band


Barbara Beard Location: Atlanta, GA Posted Wednesday, 12 March 2008 09:04	You're absolutely right Butch, there's no reason to be a jack-leg about someone not knowing your name. I'm sure the band will do just fine without "that lady" listening.


Butch Cannon Location: Tarboro, NC Posted Wednesday, 12 March 2008 07:50	David and Tony, rest assured that most folks from eastern North Carolina are not like that lady. Keep playing your music and most fans will come on board. Best of luck in the future.


David Terry Location: Jacksonville, NC Posted Tuesday, 11 March 2008 22:52	Hello everyone and thank you, Joy and Amanda for all the very kinds words. I would like to set the record straight as to the reason I am no longer playing with the Carousels. After more than 30 wonderful years of playing music across the South Eastern States, I decided it was time to retire from the physical part of being in a band. My health has declined and I knew it was the decision I had to make. So I announced to the members of the Carousels that I would be leaving at the end of 2008. I knew this would give them time to find a replacement and continue on. Henry Jones the owner met with Tony Baker & Ricky Dixon (Original Carousel Members) and they decided to reunite the original group. Thus the formation of The Fabulous Carousels. This reunion did not include Andrew Dill, Brian Terry and Shaun Rhodes. There are plans for them to join or form another band shortly. As for me, I am planning to continue writing, singing and producing songs in the future. I'm planning to release my first single at this years Spring SOS. So I hope you will like what I produce and continue your support. I hope everyone will give the Fabulous Carousels the opportunity to show you what they can do. All are great players and the vocals are wonderful. Thanks again to everyone who have supported us in the past and I look forward to a great and wonderful future...

tony baker Location: Johnson City Tn Posted Tuesday, 11 March 2008 16:26	WOW!!!Joy I did not mean any disrespect to you at all.And if you took it that way I humbly appolize.At the time I wrote the response I did not know your name(now I know its on the side of the post)Anyway I am truely sorry you feel that way,and hope that in the furture you will see fit to give The Carousels another listen.Again I meant no disrespect to you at all.I just didn't know your name at the time.And agin if you ever do come out to listen to The Carousels,Stop by and say Hello.If you do not like the new group no offense taken.Henry just wanted to keep the group going,after David quit.As fellow BEACH music lovers we can still be friends.So if you are out and about Stop by and say hello sometime Keep on Shagging With Respect Tony


Joy Thomas Location: Goldsboro, NC Posted Tuesday, 11 March 2008 15:48	Tony Baker, the lady's name from Goldsboro is Joy Thomas. If you are going to reference me, then it would be appreciated if you use my name. I've done some research on "The Souls" and listened to the songs you so proudly referred to in your comments. Sorry, I was not impressed! I was not aware of David Terry retiring from the band and I'm sure the music industry will greatly miss his talents. I only hope he continues to release songs in the future to included, Somewhere Over The Rainbow. As far as making new friends as you stated, you have not started in the right direction with me. So I can assure you that myself and many of my friends who also read your comments and go to the Singles Dances, will not be going to see your NEW FABULOUS CAROUSELS in the future. JOY THOMAS The Lady From Goldsboro

Amenda Location: Georgetown, SC Posted Tuesday, 04 March 2008 10:23	June, I wanted to give you an update on the future Carousel Band. My Husband and I went to Charleston to Pivots to help in the fund raising to keep the club going. We like Pivots and have gone there on several ocasions. Tony Baker and the Souls (The New Fabulous Carousels) played during this event. Although Tony Baker did a good job, it was obvious to my husband and I that they are not the same Carousel Band that we had previously heard and enjoyed. From what we were able to find out, only one member from the Carousels are playing in what was known as the Souls. So what happened to the rest of the Carousels? Are they branching out on their own? If anyone knowns the answers, please let us know because I will miss not hearing the Carousels I know and love... Amenda Georgetown, SC


TL Location: NMB Posted Monday, 03 March 2008 11:24	Sometimes the DJ's will play songs by CD which will not show up. Also our sindicated shows don't show what songs are playing, but you can always call or email the station if you want to know the name of a song, we are happy to help!


ed howard Location: darlington sc Posted Sunday, 02 March 2008 17:24	on the audio streaming why do some songs show the title and artist and some dont

Mike Mery Location: SAYLORSBURG PA. Posted Saturday, 01 March 2008 11:15	Good morning SURF friends. we woke up to 4 inches of snow , but the warm music has warmed me up. There is nothing better than the tunes echoing throughout the house. Cant wait until our next visit to Myrtle Beach. I guess I will just have to be happy listening on the net. Thanks for keeping us all smilimg!!!!!!! Mike in Pa.


Bonnie Kay Location: Columbia, SC Posted Friday, 29 February 2008 11:06	I would DEFINITELY pay for satellite radio in order to hear my beloved SURF while I'm in the car and at work.


wendy hill Location: the beach Posted Friday, 29 February 2008 01:54	Why can`t Beach music be heard on satellite radio?


larry lafon Location: mt. holly nc. Posted Thursday, 28 February 2008 20:26	I come to the beach for Run To The Sun every year and the surf is one of my highlights when coming there. I now have xm radio and there is nothing I would rather hear than the surf on a xm radio station. I do get to listen online though. Thanks for keeping the beach music alive. Maybe i will hear you on xm radio one day.


Karen Corp Location: Hanover, Pa Posted Thursday, 28 February 2008 09:27	We're Moving To Myrtle Beach!!! My husband and I brought another couple with us from snowy Hanover Pa this past weekend to visit friends living in Little River and to search for a place to call home hopefully sometime before fall! We were able to see Sea-Cruz perform Friday and Sunday nights....they are absolutely WONDERFUL!! Molly, Butch, and Dino are so nice and funny they put on a fantastic show...I just love em'! Hearing them on the radio is great but seeing them in person, I'm a complete fan!! Thanks SURF for allowing my ears and heart to be in "Paradise" till my body gets there for good!


Joy Thomas Location: Goldsboro, NC Posted Tuesday, 26 February 2008 09:24	I can't believe the Carousels are breaking up their band. Who ever thought of that idea must be crazy! I heard them about a month ago at a Single Dance and I was moved to tears by the way David Terry sang "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" to a lady going through cancer treatments. It was one of the best performances that I have ever seen a band do for someone and the emotions he expressed while singing was truly wonderful. And to add to the thoughfulness, the younger member of the band who I can't remember his name, came out and danced with the lady during the song. I was converted into a true Carousel Fan at that point. I've never heard of the Souls, but I can't believe disbanding the Carousels that I heard and forming a different group will even come close to the group I heard that night in Kinston, NC. My heart will always remain grateful for being there to witness David Terry sing "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" making an impact on one woman's struggle with cancer. God Bless those guys for that night and I only hope David Terry will continue making music and record "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" because I want it play at my funeral one day... Not too soon I hope!!!!! Joy Thomas Goldsboro, NC


Billy Ray Location: ocean drive Posted Tuesday, 26 February 2008 01:45	What happened to the top 40 voting? Say it`s supposed to start Monday....can`t get on.


June Porter Location: Wilmington, NC Posted Monday, 25 February 2008 13:46	Amenda, I could not agree with you any more. I heard the Carousels during the Fall SOS at the Avista Resort. They were one of the best bands that performed that day. I too, was not impressed by the Souls, so I can't see why The Carousels would change their format. I understand that David Terry was the one who played the keyboards and he was a main entertainer in the band and good vocalist. I hate to see him leave. I was also impressed by the younger players in the band. June Porter


Amenda Location: Georgetown, SC Posted Monday, 25 February 2008 09:08	What happened to the Carousel Band? I logged on to their website and read where they have disbanded. There's a new link to Tony Baker and the Souls changing their name to The Carousels. One of the members joined with The Souls. What happened to the rest of the Carousels? I heard them several times and thought they were one of the hottest bands out there. Why would they want to change? The Souls are okay, but they are not the Carousels that I enjoyed so much. Just when you think there's and band out there that you can enjoy and like, they change things around... Go figure... I've heard the Souls and they aren't in the same league as the Carousels I know... Now if they joined the two groups together, they might have made a great improvement. I will miss the Carousels I heard in Myrtle Beach on New Years and only hope David Terry and the other members will start their own band. I for one would go hear them... Amenda - Georgetown, SC
