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.

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.

WinkHello 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...

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

Sad 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.

ideas,new music ,new songs,David Terry has been a friend of mine for many ,many years.When David annouunced to
The Carousel members that he planned to retire this year.This openned up opportunity for Henry(the only
orginal member)to reunite with friends Rick,Tony,and the addition of my daughter Erin,Pivots was our first job
and we did it as a favior to help the Club.We hope you will give us another chance to impresss you.We have

Henry,Rick and Myself were
talking yesterday about how many members The Carousels had had over the years,,about 32 that we can remember

Sad 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...

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!Biggrin

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.

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!

Shocked 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!!!!!

ShockedAmenda, 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.

Sad 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...

I love listening to 94.9 on the web at work in NC!!! When I'm in my car way out of the 94.9 listening
area, I enjoy listening to the recently released KHP Music CD entitled "Carolina's Callin'
Me". For you beach and shag music fans, it has a GREAT selection of music by such well-known artists as
the Holiday Band, The Castaways, Gary Brown,
Doug Winstead, the Legends of Beach and Big Time Party Band just
to name a few. My personal favorite is "Love Me Or Let Me Go" by The Mighty Saints of Soul".
You SC beach and shag fans may not be familiar with this group but 3 of them were original members of the Band
of Oz and they played at the BOZ reunion held in January at Dynamites. If you haven't heard it, ask your
favorite 94.9 DJ to play it for you!

94.9, keep playing those great tunes!!!!!
