Taken from the Fessa John Hook's Yearly Beach Music Top 40 Songs.
His weekly Top 40 Beach Music survey, yearly Top 40 and Blues Fish Fry shows can be heard on the Cashbox site. I listen to it several times a week, especially when he goes back to the 50s, 60s and 70s for the yearly. Well worth a listen.
These were songs #40 to #31 in 1957. The Fessa calls this the 2nd Wave of Beach music after Hurricane Hazel had ended the first in 1954. R$B songs were just starting to cross over to the national charts with the help of the new Rock and Roll.

Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
