I penned this song in 1990, and it was placed on hold(in the can) until 2016. Van Coble of the Tempest and I rearranged it, placed it with John Hook, and it reached #2 on Hook's Boogie and Blues Chart, June, 2016. Radio stations in O.D picked it up as a request from their listeners, then it became popular with shag DJ's around the Carolinas.

In his Hideaway Studio in Midland Van Coble(Tempest) recorded the rhythm tracks, Michael Wayne Deese, "the human vocal cord", and former lead singer with the Fabulous Plaids of Charlotte, back in the day, sang his but off on it. Then Van gave it to me to record in my home studio, my twin ladies, big toot and baby toot. I included a piano lead, using old Sidney Smith(Catalinas) cord patterns, and a organ part to the Mp3 and sent it to John Hook to play on his beach broadcast.
Hook really liked the video I accompanied with the MP3, since he was a band history nut. On the video feed, I had shots of various local bands from around the Queen City back in the early 60's, and the video seemed to get as much attention from beach and shag lovers as the MP3 recording. Anyway, it got played and Van, Wayne and I were surprised it gained some favor since it was a local effort.
The late and great Nelson Lemmond canned the original tape of QCb for his West Trade Street Blues Association album at Reflections Studio, made in 1991.
Nat Speir of the Riveras thought it was good enough, but Nelson was the money man and made the final cut decision.
So, you never know what the public may like on the Radio, sometimes you think you got a whopper, it flops, then out of the blue, you are surprised you got a hit record on the radio. But thinking back, the process that effort went through was so exciting and fond memories too.
