While the music and dance we love has been around for a very long time now, our
Association of Beach & Shag DeeJays was first conceived in 1984, then became a
reality shortly after that time. Even though our formal longevity is still
relatively modest, we have nevertheless already lost a number of loyal,
valuable, contributing members over
these years.
Some of these members were very successful in their chosen fields of work, some
were active, loving family men and women, some spent countless hours involved in
every sort of
extracurricular activity
imaginable--from charitable and social activities in their communities to
membership in larger, even national organizations they loved to support. Many
were just nice people, enjoying their lives, maybe nothing notable, nothing
special -- in the "15 Seconds of Fame" world we live in now.
But, all these members who have now passed on shared a common bond---their love
for our music and dance, and all the things that go along with the lifestyle it
embodies. In this, they all were stars in our own beach and shag heaven.
It is for these contributions and their part in our Association that we honor
them, their lives, their memory with this section of our web site.
