On September 29, 2022, the news of Ray Hall's passing was shared among his friends and various industry professionals. The announcement reads: "It’s with sadness and joy to let you know Ray has crossed over into our Heavenly Father’s arms. He is finally pain free. Ray Hall fought with all of his might against this horrible disease and actually won the battle and is now in his forever home."

Ray was owner of TJ's NightLife in Raleigh and he was always so welcoming of Flip Flop Live and we enjoyed talking with him anytime we had the pleasure of attending one of his events. He was such a big supporter of the Beach Music industry, the bands and artists, dj's and the shaggers. So many others expressed their condolences on social media and you can as well. You can also attend the celebration of life that will be held with family and friends on Sunday, October 16th 2:00 until 5:00 at TJs NightLife, 4801 Leigh Dr, Raleigh, NC 27616.In lieu of flowers donations can be made to Transitions Life Care of Raleigh.

Heeey Baby Days of Beach Music
Tuesday, September 20 2022

The Heeey Baby Days of Beach Music - eBook is Available Now and you can purchase it directly from Greg with the details below!

Greg Haynes' massive 13 pound book—THE HEEEY BABY DAYS OF BEACH MUSIC-- chronicling stories of the bands, venues and times that were the late 1960s is now available as an eBook! It is available through Ebay!  First published in hardback in 2006, the coffee-table sized book has been out of print since 2009. The thumb drive version contains a new Epilogue that lists the later released CDs 15-17 as bonus content. The eBook contains 557 pages and over 800 photographs. In late 2001, after spending over 30 years reminiscing about those few years he had as a band promoter in the late 1960s, Greg Haynes realized that if someone didn't make a permanent record of the unforgettable music, times, and events of those days in the Southeast, the memories would be lost forever.

What started as a book to highlight the most popular bands ended up including groups that made the Beach Music genre a significant music form. By the time Greg wrapped up The Heeey Baby Days of Beach Music, every state in the Southeast that had a shoreline was in the book. Greg's retrospective, he says, "is not be a complete anthology of the party bands of the South in the '60s; but I believe we have achieved a fantastic overview of the most significant acts of the era and many of the lesser-known acts as well." The complete eBook on a handy USB thumb drive via First Class U.S. Mail for $29.95 +$3.19 postage and handling. You can now re-live the memories and see all the valuable (and now, many long-lost) images of the era on your laptop, computer, or tablet.
