If you've ever been to the Virginia Beach oceanfront during the Beach Music events, Travis Thereault is certainly no stranger. Travis is a local celebrity in Virginia Beach and can be found hanging out with the bands and bringing them on stage throughout the Summer.  When local Fire Captain Bill Roestenberg heard Travis' new bike was stolen he "jumped into action". You can watch the story below from WTKR. We also included a few more stories of Travis that were previously featured on the station.

 

We've launched a brand new website for Flip Flop Live Radio! 

We put together the first Flip Flop Live Radio show last weekend to give everyone something a little different on a Saturday night with the ability to have a live request show. Due to the overwhelming messages and emails we've received to continue the show, we've decided to move forward with FFL Radio. This is something we've wanted to do for quite some time and with your support and with the tremendous support from our title sponsors "Hite's Clothing and Skelton Speed Shop, we're staying on the air. 

We'll continue with our "Saturday Night House Party" and we'll branch out with more shows with a few surprises PLUS we're looking to move into a twenty-four hour format. More content will be added to our new website as we grow and our original "Flip Flop Live" website will remain geared to the Beach Music community. Also we're working on something GREAT that will be released shortly for all of the beach fans! 

Be sure to tune in tonight from 7:00-11:00 with your host, DJ Andy Lucy by visiting our NEW WEBSITE and you'll have the ability to join our chat with the other listeners, request your songs and hang out for the Saturday Night House Party. You can request everything from Beach, Blues, Boogie, Country, R&B along with Classic and Southern Rock. This show is tailored to play the current and classic hits making it a party for everyone. Relax on the porch, pop open a cold beverage of choice and forget the craziness happening in the world for a few hours. 

Did we mention we have a new FACEBOOK PAGE as well? Be sure to give us a like and thank you for your continued support!

Like we've always said, there's no other community like the Beach Music community. So many people have been affected in just the past few weeks and we have a long ways to go according to the health professionals. So many have come up with unique ways to keep the music alive and one special feature has been the artists and bands going live from home and we've included them for you below with more to come. If you know of someone that's not included, please let us know and we'll be sure to add them.

Fellow Stranders and Friends,

Just wanted to give you all an update about ACSC/SOS Functions. Currently as many of you know many restaurants and bars, etc. at N. Myrtle Beach are closed because of the Covid-19 pandemic. I know that some of you were planning on still going to the beach during the 10 days of SOS even though it still remains cancelled, however there is so much uncertainty about the virus and the longevity of it, that no one knows for sure how long this will go on. You may want to re-consider your travel plans, condo rentals, hotel rentals, etc.

The Board is currently working on plans for Fall Migration, with DETAILS to follow as they are known. We have been in contact with the City of N. Myrtle Beach about POSSIBLY having the parade at Fall Migration. Nothing has been confirmed at this time, but as Ron said “we are keeping our fingers crossed” and hoping for the best. Ron has been working tirelessly for SOS, with the city, all our club partners, and all of our supporters.
We will keep you posted as things develop and hoping things start to turn around for all of us.
It remains important right now that we all remain safe and abide by the rules of the CDC concerning this pandemic. We remain confident that we will get past this and we can return to the lifestyle that we all love and live our life for.

Respectfully,

Ron Whisenant, SOS President (803-371-4731)

Ronnie Gregory, SOS Board Chair (336-213-7053)

Robin Morley, ACSC Chairman (828-443-5995)
