I remember the first time I ever heard of the Carolina Beach Music Awards - it was my first year that I moved to Myrtle Beach. Traveling down the 17 By-Pass I was in the company of three great friends, one of which was going to be honored at The Carolina Beach Music Awards that night. Well, for those of you who have been on the beach for any length of time will remember "CRAZY GEORGE" the longtime and charismatic DJ at 2001 Nightclub. And yes, one of the adjectives used to describe "CRAZY GEORGE" would be colorful and that particular word was in plain view that night as he was adorned in a sports jacket that can only be described as "George's Coat of Many Colors" that was made by his beloved mother.
Well, here we are several years later and unfortunately we lost "CRAZY GEORGE" but the awards show is still in existence. Those of us living here on the beach call the awards show the "Cammys." This premier event is for Beach Music enthusiasts across the country who listen and dance to the sultry sounds of our favorite music.
Through the years many of us have dressed in beautiful formal gowns, guys in their tuxedos (and just a note here - the guys never wore socks with their dress shoes) and rented limousines to take us to the Alabama Theatre for the show, then out to dinner and finally ended the night at the celebration party at the Spanish Gallieon.
On Sunday, November 13 at the Alabama Theatre, the 16th Annual Carolina Beach Music Awards show will begin at 3:00 pm. This event will honor the performers, songwriters, radio personalities, DJ's, dancers, performers. engineers and promoters for the beloved music that we have danced to many, many days and nights. Yes, we have sand in our shoes, music in our veins and our "beach music" makes you keep coming back to our beach over and over again.
"Thank you for letting Myrtle Beach entertain you!"
