So summer has passed, the tourists are gone (speaking of tourists--if they call it "tourist season" why can we shoot 'em?) the weather is cooling, and we keep our fingers crossed that we don't have to deal with a hurricane in the fall of 2011. It's really wonderful here this time of year, and the Camaros are staying busy. Oktoberfest will be fun, lots of Pirate events coming up, and oh yea gotta keep that corporate gig to pay the bills. And of course lots good friends, and being thankful to live in this wonderful area of the world. We tend to have too much fun with the Panama City Parrot Head Club.

Here in the northernmost point of the Caribbean, we try to mix some beach music, then sprinkle it with country, top it off with some oldies, to create the potpourri known as the Camaros and your beach feast is complete.  

The Camaros are doing great, and have upgraded their technical prowess. Our old haunting ground, the Trading Post in Compass Lake, Florida, still is somewhat like a bad habit. Something makes you want to go there, something makes you want to stay away, but they are good friends, country folks, and I love to play for them.

I have been blessed with this part time job for over 30 years now, and while I am pretty convinced I will never win an award for writing music, playing, or singing, I know that as long as I can hook up with a fellow Beachoholic every now and then and put a smile on someone's face, that will be fine with me. And if it's not real entertainment, it's close!

Through it all, there is still nothing like watching and listening to a crowd of folks sing and dance and enjoy beach music. During this chapter of life, maybe that's all I need. Contact us at beachoholic@yahoo.com or call 850-693-0500 for information on bookings, etc.

For my friends Tom Maher and John Rapier from Marietta, Georgia, who both sailed on to calmer waters recently, remember the Irish blessing:

"May the road rise with you, may the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face and rains fall soft upon your fields. And until we meet again, may God keep you in the hollow of his hand."

Hey, keep it real, I will try to update the site but....we'll see!

As you can see, the Camaros are now truly world famous. One of our hats even made it to a snow man in Sunrise Resort, Arizona! I guess they are beachoholics there too, and we don't play there for several more months at least.

Around the country we go, where we stop, nobody knows!
