Or maybe just send me to the glue factory; obviously, I have outlived my usefulness. What has happened to Beach Music? For most of my life, you got near any southern beach and the AM and FM dials were filled with Beach Music stations. Headed south on I-95, you only had to get to the Carolina Pottery before numerous competing Beach Music stations could be found. Here I am in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, the place where South Carolina’s state dance, the Shag was invented and I can only find 1 all Beach Music station. I’ve found at least 2 all Spanish stations, but just the sole all Beach Station.

    Now, as my sarcastic teen children have told me "Like, yeah, maybe there’s a reason for that" leaving no doubt that Beach Music is old and busted just like me. But it was a happy genre while it lasted and best represented by it’s national anthem, "Be Young, Be Foolish, Be Happy" by The Tams.
