Happy 20th Birthday WVCO, the Surf: The Voice of Beach Music

August 19, 1998, this FM radio station switched format to a Beach Music/Oldies one.  It is located in North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, and at the epicenter of the Beach Music world.  That is the music that fans shag to, which is also the state dance, kind of a slow bop.

This is also a station I listen to most mornings while going through e-mails or typing away at these blogs.  I also listen to Chicago's WXRT, 93.1 FM.

Right now, at 8:27 a.m. EDST Jim Morgan is playing and they are doing all kinds of birthday activities.

When we first started going to Myrtle Beach in the 1980s, we listened to WNMB which had Billy Smith in the morning and played Beach Music.  Billy Smith was a real experience, or the Old BS'er as he called himself.

Anyway, Happy Birthday, The Surf.  --RoadDog
