What’s going on in the beach music world? Got through TBMF and I have been working like crazy trying to catch up on other stuff with the real job. I miss the beach! Hopefully will get to Raleigh this summer and catch a Thursday Night at TJ’s Night Life. There are a lot of festivals coming up the rest of the summer, many don’t seem to be able to get the word out to the masses.

Special Thanks to Rickie Lipscomb for getting these pictures to me so fast. They would have been up yesterday had I not had to travel back to the ATL. What a day at the farm! Another great party. Thanks to everyone that made it a day to remember. A lot of hard work went into it. I can’t wait til next year.
