Blue Note Award 2003

The board of directors, of the N.A.R.B. Dee Jays Association, recently conducted our annual nominations for our "Blue Note Award", given to a recipient, each year, for their effort in the promotion, presevation and perpetuation of Rhythm & Blues music.

The 2003 unanimous winner, was The Carolina Beach Music Awards of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Congratulations to Peter Carpenter, President.

The "Cammy's" began in 1995 in Charlotte, N. C., and in 1998 was moved to Myrtle Beach, S. C. where the beginning of the Cammy weekend was born. This weekend awards presentation, was designed to recognize and honor those Pioneers, Performers, Song Writers, Producers, Engineers and Promoters of Carolna Beach Music. It also includes the recognition of Radio Personalities, Mobile Dee Jays, and Dancers.

The Mission of the Cammy's is to obviously, promote Carolina Beach Music, it's influences and offshoots, and the unique Carolina lifestyle by the presentation of a first class awards show that originates each November, in North Myrtle Beach.

The Cammy's have now become an Icon of Carolina Beach Music industry, the home of this Southern tradition.

I know that we became more familiar with this wonderful organization in 2002, when our Cd "Let's Dance U. S. A." was a nominee in the compilation category, for Ripete Records. Visit them at www.cammyawards.com

Congratulations again Peter, on behalf of the National Association Of Rhythm & Blues Dee Jays.
