I heard this today and it took me back to when I was stationed at Myrtle Beach AFB from 1985 - 1992. It gave me a smile to hear the name check of all the clubs along the Grand Strand. The Mother Fletcher radio spots were crazy! I never learned how to Shag, but me and the wife would go dancing. Cruising the Stand in the back of a pickup truck on a lawn chair was classic. From the Can Am days in March, through the tourist season till Labor Day weekend the place was nuts. The sun, the fun, I sure miss it. From what I understand though I am missing a place that no longer exist, most the clubs have closed, the Pavilion and the amusement park is gone, the base closed, so many things have changed. I watch this video and Kenny Chesney's "Anything but mine" to see all the places I used to hang out. This song take me back.
