I think shag as a cultural phenomenon and as an important step (no pun intended) in the rapprochement (forgive me!) of black and white culture in the South is very important and I am so happy you are doing this project. I don't have any info on the juke joint in question, but have always maintained that before professional sports, what moved us back together was the shared passion for the music and dance that is now shag. PS 'Beach Music' is NOT shag music. BM is 'get drunk and party' music & is basically for non-shaggers. I hope you will focus on the real stuff in your book. Gratefully yours, Cathy Colel Hi,Tom: Our shag club sent out an email for info on Charlie’s Place.
