The Bands were stellar yet down to earth & approachable, especially Vocalist of the Year, Rhonda McDaniel, who graciously made all the rounds after her set. In fact, everyone made the rounds: locals, students, new transplants, and visitors from SC, NC, Georgia, Ohio, NY, a half Canadian, and more. First name bases picture taking led to last names to friend on Facebook ; then trip/dance planning; sailing around the world; Doctors, X-Rays, and Insane Asylums. What in the world is going on? A timeless vibrant culture boosted by Harriet and past & present loyalists at the Charleston Beach Music & Shag Preservation Society of SC.
