Many members have asked if the Operation Summer Concert Calendar 13 Uplink portion of the VFW Veterans and Military Support Program is still relevant today and the an- swer is a resounding – YES! July Dance Pictures 14 SOBS Membership Form 15 Our military personnel have shared their appreciation for Operation Uplink with us... CPT Bailey in Afghanistan writes, “I am so grateful for the ability to hear my wife and child over the phone. Your service is crucially important for the morale of the soldiers. You are doing your country an immeasurable service by ensuring the communication of military families!” Carlos in Iraq writes, “Free call days are like extended visits to my family. I just let them talk about every little detail of their day.” Since its creation in 1996, Operation Uplink has evolved, but still provides an invaluable service to our military service members by providing a morale boosting and vital connection with family and friends while eliminating the financial burden many can’t afford. Since 2006 over 7.5 million connections have provided over 90 million minutes of talk time – at no cost to our deployed service members.

Page 4 WHERE SHAG DANCE KINGS RULE by Liz Fleming (TravelMindset.com, March 25, 2013) Note: H. Lee Brown, Owner of O.D. Pavilion passed away on November 24, 2016 “We were the coolest guys on the beach,” says H. Lee Brown, the slim, deeply tanned, sixty-something owner of the Ocean Drive Pavilion and one of the acknowledged shag dance kings of North Myrtle Beach. He and his buddies still are kings – at least during the Mid-Winter Classic, Spring Safari and Fall Migration, three enormous multi-day events featuring dance contests, exhibitions and more that bring shaggers from across North America. During those exciting festival days, thousands of shag dance enthusiasts flood North Myrtle Beach, many of them heading straight for good old H. Lee’s place. H. Lee is a pretty big wheel the rest of the year too, since shagging never really stops in North Myrtle Beach. Someone’s always dancing somewhere. On Tuesday nights, you’ll find a big crowd at Fat Harold’s Beach Club staring alternately at their feet and at the two swivel-hipped instructors sliding back and forth on the smooth wooden floor. If you want to see real shaggers doing it like it’s meant to be done, come Thursday, Friday or Satur- day. Get yourself a place at the bar at Ducks, the O.D. Pavilion or Fat Harold’s. You’ll find them all on or around Main Street, North Myrtle Beach, right where the heart of shag dancing has been keeping a steady beat since the early 1960’s. Today, when it’s perfectly legal for couples to grind against one another in sweaty bliss on dance floors around the world, it’s laughable to imagine that anything as tame as shag dancing was ever considered a threat to public decency – but it was. In those early days, shag dancing – a sort of smooth, slowed-down, sensuous version of jitterbug- ging – was a dangerous occupation. If the cops caught you shagging, you’d end your night in the town lockup. “We’d hide out, dance to the jukeboxes in the pavilions down on the sand, and run if we saw a police car coming,” says H. Lee. “If we invited a friend out to the beach for the weekend and he didn’t get arrested, we figured he hadn’t had much fun.” They’re still dancing in the pavilions in North Myrtle Beach, and in the clubs, and even on the streets – but no one gets arrested any more.

  • The Carolina Shaggers: Dance As Serious Leisure
    Journal of Leisure Research Copyright 2007 2007, Vol. 39, No. 4, pp. 623-647 National Recreation and Park Association The Carolina Shaggers: Dance as Serious Leisure Carroll A. Brown Western Carolina University The concept of serious leisure (Stebbins, 1992) was used to investigate the social world of shag dancing to determine the reasons for long-term involvement and commitment to the dance. Data were collected over a three-year period through in-depth interviews at regional shag festivals. A method of ethnographic analysis was used to analyze the data (Spradley, 1979). Two types of dancers, casual and serious, were identified and differentiated into five subtypes. Results confirm Stebbins (1992) six qualities of serious leisure. Friendship was cited as the most important reason for long-term involvement and commitment to the dance. Findings indicate the shag world is a combination of serious leisure and casual leisure. Participants choose their level of involvement based on changing life- style needs. KEYWORDS: Casual leisure, commitment, fun, serious leisure, social worlds. Introduction "Modern America is an archipelago of subcultures, a land where, to a peculiar extent, people shape their lives around private passions, and form national families of kindred spirits" (Sides, 1992). The involvement of indi- viduals in particular leisure activities has been the focus of an increasing number of studies. This tendency can be attributed to the increased interest of researchers in showing how people become involved in leisure activities, why they cease or continue to be involved, and the development of a con- tinuous, career-like commitment to an activity (Mannell & Kleiber, 1997).

  • Bb&T Blue Skies and Golden Sands Tour
    BB&T BLUE SKIES AND GOLDEN SANDS TOUR - PROGRAM NOTES Blue Skies and Golden Sands continues a musical journey that embarked at the start of the North Carolina Symphony’s 75th anniversary season in September 2006. A special pops concert called Blue Skies and Red Earth brought the orchestra together with some of North Carolina’s finest folk musicians for a grand celebration of our state’s musical heritage. Blue Skies and Red Earth thrilled audiences with the sheer depth and breadth of homegrown musical traditions that have evolved over centuries. From haunting Cherokee flute music to the propulsive sounds of the fiddle and banjo, from stately spirituals to ecstatic gospel, from earthy blues to sophisticated jazz, the anniversary program showed the Tar Heel state to be a wellspring of musical treasures. Despite having enlisted dozens of guest artists who performed ten or more styles of music, Blue Skies and Red Earth by no means exhausted North Carolina’s musical resources. A few months after the final performance, planning commenced on a follow-up concert to highlight music oriented more to the state’s eastern shores than the rolling hills and mountains to the west. It began with what seemed like a casual question: “What about beach music?" As most Carolinians know, beach music refers to a body of popular songs that provides just the right mood and rhythms for a popular style of swing dancing called the Carolina Shag. Once heavily associated with beach clubs and dance pavilions from Wilmington, North Carolina to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, shag dancing is performed all over the Southeast nowadays, and many commercial radio stations present the classic beach playlist over the air waves.

  • The Carolina Shag
    The Carolina Shag Reference notes from your “Basic” shag lesson History The dance originated sometime in the 1930’s but really took root in the 40’s as the war was closing down. People had time to go the beach and relax, and of course dance. Music of those times was being played more and more on the radio. The Lindy Hop, The Big Apple and Jitterbug were popular dances. Most say the Shag was derived from those earlier dances, but with a “Southern style”. It was called “Shagging” because in the earlier days you danced on the beach and had to shift – shag thru the sand. The “Shag” is intensely SOUTHERN, and the capital or mecca eventually became North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. What you are learning today is the Carolina Shag and the music we dance to has been coined “Beach Music” rooted from R&B music that has a gusty backbeat. The Shag used to be a “Peacock” dance where the men did most of the steps or patterns showing off and women held the basic and made the men look good. Over the years it has become more balanced where the emphasis is on “together” steps or “mirror” steps. General Rules The Shag is not a bouncy dance. There is very little to no upper body movement. Dedicate the energy and focus to the legs. Hold your upper body straight without bending at the waist. Keep your knees slightly bent while taking small controlled steps. Dance on the balls of your feet, not your toes. Keep hands still as though they were on a post and on the basic, keep your elbows pointed down.
