The Surf (WVCO, 94.9 FM) Goes Back to 1972


Many mornings I listen to this radio station out of North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, as it plays Beach Music and oldies.

Jim Morgan now handles the morning show and is a worthy successor to Stevie B (Stephen Blackburn) and the legendary Beach Guy himself, Billy Smith (The Old BS-er).

Every weekday, Jim Morgan takes us back to a year in Beach history.  Friday the 13th he took us to 1972 and played these three songs:

BRANDY--  Looking Glass
EVERYBODY PLAYS THE FOOL--  Main Ingredient
NICE TO BE WITH YOU--  Gallery
IF YOU DON'T WATCH OUT I'LL FALL BACK IN LOVE WITH YOU AGAIN--  Stylistics

He also takes us back to the year with other information.

The Top Four TV shows:

4.  Maude
3.  Hawaii-Five-0
2.  Sanford & Son
1.  All in the Family

Pong was released this year.
