Listening to the Surf-- "All Summer Long-" Bike Week Down-- Billy's Gator

While listening to Billy Smith, the Old B-Ser, on the Surf broadcasting out of North Myrtle Beach, I heard two bits of information of interest. It's 8:23 AM CDT, 7:23 EDT, and Billy is playing "All Summer Long" by Kid Rock. What's i tell you about that song. The Carolina Beach Music e-mail group had someone say that the Kid is just trying to get today's youth interested in our old geezer music. That may be, but regardless, a great summer song.

The news said that motel occupancy was down 21% from what it had been for fall bike week a year ago. The sad economy got a lot of blame as well as high gas prices. And, of course, there were the ordinances aimed at the bikers.

Also, Billy said that when he got to Jimmagan's Hideaway on the intercoastal for his afternoon show Friday, a guy was waiting outside and said animal control was coming because an alligator had crawled up to enjoy the festivities and perhaps nibble on a patron or two. Hey, after all they have a free buffet. All that and Uncle Billy live and up close and personal. What self-respecting gator could resist? Drink specials as well. Billy didn't say what happened to the alligator. Perhaps it just shagged away the afternoon.
