Carolina Shag (Beach) Music

As we get close to the warm weather, I am beginning to listen to Carolina Shag Music on XM Radio.  I did a Birthday Party a few years back where the Birthday Girl wanted me to play ”Summertime’s Calling Me” by a group by the name of The Catalinas.  They were one of those Carolina bands that performed in the clubs all along the Carolina Beaches.  The Carolina Shag is a style of dance, and I have to tell you, there are lots of songs done by artists who are not famous nationally, but have quite the following in the Carolinas.  I have over 400 songs in my Carolina Shag Playlist, some of which were Top 40 charted hits.  I have created a playlist with some of my favorite Carolina Shag songs that I have on my Playlist tab on my website.  It makes me want to be a DJ in some of the clubs in Myrtle Beach and Hilton Head.
