Friday finally arrived and the Party we’ve been not so patiently waiting for is hours away.  Our very own Ms Sunshine and Smiles, Melissa Hinson has been working on this for months and the big day is finally here.  Melissa’s son, Bennett graduated from Coastal Carolina University, making the Dean’s List for  all four years.  Wow!  A great accomplishment that takes much more than intelligence.  You must have purpose, heart, and pride.  And of course a boat load of smarts help and Bennett has it all.  We are awaiting to see what the future holds for this young man that has become a friend to so many here at the Beach.

We have 3 Albums from today’s 2nd Sunday of the Month Parking Lot Party at Deckerz Bar & Grill featuring the super-talented and charismatic band Rivermist.  The rain stopped the music but not the fun.  Kudos to the band for staying around, mingling with their fans, and posing for pictures.  O.D. Mafia’s two photographers, Robin and Melissa and picture-taker Dan were there to capture the fun and a few raindrops to film.  The link below will take you to the photos taken by ODMafia’s Ms. Smiles and Sunshine (even with raindrops falling melodiously,) Melissa Hinson.

2nd Album – The 2025 Ocean Drive Beach Music Festival was the best ever as The Band of Oz absolutely brought the beach as only they can do.  Jim Quick and Coastline brought the crowd to a frenzy, these quys literally played up a storm.  Luckily the storm lasted only a few minutes.  The California Honeydrops finished off the evening and had their many fans dancing in the lot.  A super time and definitely in contention for the CBMA Event of the Year Award.  Thank you Jessica, Bo and your excellent staff for the best event ever!!!

This has been an unusually great last few days following Marlisa and E’Stafano DiSanto from the 94.9 the Surf to Riptide Radio to Greg Rowles Legacy Theater and then to Craves in Myrtle Beach.  I’ve always known that our Marlisa is a genuinely lovely Southern Bell but learned that E’Stafano is a true Southern Gentleman (if it’s possible for a Southern Gentleman to be from Rhode Island via Las Vegas).  E’Stafano is a super talented vocalist, a producer of great shows and a fun and entertaining guy to hang out with.  He and Marlisa put on a show at Craves that was beyond description.
