The Swinging Persuations of Columbia, South Carolina quickly gained a reputation one of the best new Beach Music bands from South Carolina. The band performed everything from Sleepwalk to Soulfinger, Stand By Me and songs of the Tams and the Drifters.The Swinging Persuations included some of the finest musicians ever assembled and was red-hot before breaking up in 1967. Some great memories remained and although the history of that band was over, the Carolina Beach Music sound itself was only getting started...In early 2007, The Original Beach Music Band was born by Swinging Persuations founder, Dan Kirby. The dream of producing an old sound in studio digital quality became a reality with this, our first major release.Five new blues guitar instrumentals are featured that will take you back four decades to a time when hamburgers were only 25 cents and a bottle of Coke was a dime. It was a time when instrumentals & signature R&B tunes like My Girl ruled the airways. Today in the Carolina's - Beach Music is still played on radio stations from Columbia to Charlotte and on jukeboxes from Columbia South Carolina, all the way down to myrtle beach! Great music never dies..._________________________________________________________DAN KIRBYDan Kirby continues to write new songs such as is contained in this collection with much more on the way...please stay tuned!*Amazing Grace was recorded in The David Goodman Studios of South Florida, USA.
