Ruth Anne Helms Location: Fayetteville, N.C. Posted Monday, 10 December 2007 08:49	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 08:14	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 05:45	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 05:31	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 04:59	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 04:46	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 22:50	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 22:46	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 22:33	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 21:53	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 17:44	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 12:43	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 11:53	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 11:36	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 10:32	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


Barbara Beard Location: Atlanta, GA Posted Sunday, 09 December 2007 10:26	After reading so many comments posted regarding Coastline, I have a question.

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. I admire people wanting to get ahead in what they do, therefore, would it not behoove them to promote themselves in a music venue that their style is conducive with? When people talk about "diversity", just listen to the request hour during the week on the Surf. I've heard more beach music being requested by the outside listeners (not the locals). It's natural for people to want their friends to get ahead and be successful. As I've mentioned before, I'm sure they're talented musicians and nice people. I still question why they're pushing themselves in a beach music venue, that's all. Getting away from the Coastline issue, there are other bands that have gotten away from true beach music, and I don't listen to them either. The Surf is a wonderful station and brings great music to people all over the world. Therefore, we have an opportunity to hear what's happening in the beach music industry. Just because we don't agree with the locals doesn't mean we know not of what we speak. As I've also mentioned in the past, just take a look at the voting. You'll notice more votes are cast for musicians that are popular with their buddies than the actual songs they write/perform. Granted, people tend to like what's promoted to them, and that happens in any venue. It's called marketing to the masses. There are definitely certain times I listen to the Surf and times I don't. People are prone to promoting what they like, as well. That's their choice, just as it's mine to determine what I want to hear and what I don't. I will say this, I don't enjoy the country sound I'm hearing from some groups. Just ask an established group, Alabama, how that worked out for them.

Billy Ray Location: ocean drive Posted Saturday, 08 December 2007 20:10	Mt favorite beach music group is Craig Woolard Band, which got shafted at the awards show. Craig and the band should had gotten some of the awards, but it was all given to Coastline Band. At least CWB is a little more mainstream Beach and don`t play Swamp Boogie. However if it weren`t for cover songs and re-makes.... CWB wouldn`t have anything to play. JMHO But hey...I like em all.


Ken Kesler Location: North Myrtle Beach, SC Posted Saturday, 08 December 2007 19:15	Carolina Beach Music and to the Coastline Crazies. As for the 2007 CBMA show this year it was fantastic, you might as well called it The Jim Quick and Coastline award show. For I am an big fan of Carolina Beach Music and love our big beach music station only here in North Myrtle Beach in Ocean Drive 94.9 The Surf. Such dedication DJ we have here Billie Smith, Ted Bell and Ray Scott. Mt favorite beach music group is Craig Woolard Band, which got shafted at the awards show. Craig and the band should had gotten some of the awards, but it was all given to Coastline Band. Both groups outpour their shows and talents to their Fans. Craig Woolard Mr. Ambassador to Carolina beach Music and showmanship they give to each performance. Their new CD Come get to This has an lot of good songs and the talent of this group is very AWESOME. So to my group THE CWB 2008 you should get many awards like the Coastline band got at the CBMA show. In closing we are very proud of other performers who perform close by at Clubs, resturants such as Sea-Cruz, Band of OZ, Fantastic Shakers and many others an Big Thank You for your Love to Carolina Beach Music. To Craig Woolard, Craig Jr, Terry, Greg,Andy,Sam,Keith,JK your many Fans love you and Thank You for your outpouring Love to beach music. Your big fan in North Myrtle Beach...Ken Kesler Merry Christmas to The Surf 94.9 and all beach groups Forever #1 The Craig Woolard Band


Ruth Anne Helms Location: Fayetteville,N.C. Posted Saturday, 08 December 2007 16:01	Thank you Billy. Made my day special and it's my birthday! Now about that Holiday Band , what do you think ? Do you really think it ain't no fun when the rabbit's got the gun? 'Cause I am the rabbit and I kinda like havin' the gun and.............. aw, just kiddin' with ya Billy don't wanna start any mezz , just wanted to make you smile !! Happy Holidays to you!


Billy Ray Location: ocean drive Posted Saturday, 08 December 2007 15:45	What I have learned on this Surf Forum: 1. Jim Quick and crew are great folks with a loving fan base and I like them also. 2. Even though several of their songs don`t hit me as in this genre, evidently the CBMA credits them as bonifide. This is fine with me because many off genre songs have done well here since I have thought about it some. 3. Promotions have played a big part in their success as he and others have admitted. I guess that is fine too, but I think writing great songs should be what does it. I hear a couple good songs but thats it, and is JMHO. JMHO means nothing. But they beat the competition in this field and I commend them. 4. I admire Jim for generating origional songs. Most are not for me but that doesn`t matter at all...he is trying. 5. I misunderstood the guy as egotistical from his posts calling me ignorant, and saying he would sic crazy people on me... I will not judge Jim until I meet him. I like this music and most ALL the folks I have met that are associated with it. Sincerely, Billy Ray


Thurston Reeder Location: Greensboro Posted Saturday, 08 December 2007 15:29	Billy Ray," Easy stuff to write"? " easy to get a dance floor hoppin"? as Quick would say "You Go Boy" with all of your answers you should have a hell of a band and play great floor fillers between sets with your DJ skills and knowledge of this business you are bound to have. Hope you like to work hard,travel a lot, lose sleep,smile etc. with your talent and knowledge you are sure to be in great demand at top dollar


Billy Ray Location: ocean drive Posted Saturday, 08 December 2007 15:14	Billy Ray, I hope you're still out there. I believe you when you say you mean no harm.Enjoy the music you love and I sincerely hope you have a wonderful Christmas. Thank you Ruth Ann that was very sweet and I wish you a merry Christmas also. Sincerely, Billy Ray


Ruth Anne Helms Location: Fayetteville, N.C. Posted Saturday, 08 December 2007 14:45	Billy Ray, I hope you're still out there. I believe you when you say you mean no harm.Enjoy the music you love and I sincerely hope you have a wonderful Christmas. The original reason I came to this forum a couple days ago was to comment on the "Send a soldier a card " site listed on the 949 home page. What a great idea !!! It takes about 30 seconds to do and means so much. I encourage everyone to check it out and thanks 949 for bringing it to us.


Ken Holland Location: The Dogg Pound Posted Saturday, 08 December 2007 14:26	I love controversy. I have been sitting here reading all the stuff about TCB and loving it. I can tell everyone that the fact is, Jim Quick and Coastline's biggest promotion is the show. When Sneakin Out Back was released we cound't keep them on the truck for selling out, AT SHOWS. Every new venue ( and I don't remember a Holiday Inn) we went to we sold CDs by the box. Not at the beginning of the show but during breaks and at the end. The promo company has the CD all over the world and thats awesome, but ask Cornbread how many he has handled. I know the band isn't your typical beach band but they never wanted to be. Beach Music fans just seem to like what they play. Maybe thats how we got hired for Fun Monday? You may not like waht TCB does but enough people do that it's a full time job for all of us and I eat well. And I thank each and everyone of you from the heart. As Jim says at the Shows, "Coastline has no fans but alot of friends" Everyones taste differ, thank God, but until you know the man don't judge him or his work. I can honestly say I know him as well as anyone and he is one of the greastest devotees to Carolina Beach Music there is. He lives it. It is nothing new to see him and Tracy at Fat Harold's on a night off shagging their Butts off and hanging out with his "friends". Jim has opened doors for many other less known beach bands.Ask Johnny Dollar,or maybe even Craig Woolard what Jim will do for you. I know!! Go to a stuggling Beach Club and ask them if Jim cuts his price to give them a hand. Now tell me again how a promo company got him and the band all those awards. I don't think so! I stand by that stage every night and watch them earn everything they get. As for national tours, We have turnrd down several chances to venture out just because we ARE making a good living here and don't need to. There is more to it than Joe Blow from the 60s would know anyhow. So now I've said my piece and thats that. Thanks crazies for the support and we love ya. PS Thanks JD


frances willis Location: Laurinburg, NC Posted Saturday, 08 December 2007 10:00	Whatever you want to call what Jim Quick and Coastline write and play...I love it! Keep it up guys! Hope to see y'all soon!!


Billy Ray Location: OCEAN DRIVE Posted Friday, 07 December 2007 22:58	Billy Skipper....tribute....?? I didn`t know that...AND I`m sure a lot of folks wouldn`t know that UNLESS the song attracted a national audience if it was worthy...but IT ISN`T...it`s just another boogie variant sound alike 1,5,4 turnaround mezz...or something that is a dead end today. Again, I couldn`t get past the intro hardly. Thank you Brian and Barbara and to this forum. I have made my points and I mean no harm to anyone. God bess us all. Billy Ray OUT
