Fredericksburg, Virginia Vol. V No. 3

I am writing this as our summer

unfolds. The newsletter brings

you the latest in our club and fel-

low club events. - Some of our

members went to the Spring SOS

in N. Myrtle Beach and had a

great time. We can count on

good representation from Freder-

icksburg for sure. It is such a

pleasure to get away to a 10 day

party! During the past weeks we

have had bands come to the

‘burg and many of us had a date

night to go and dance to their

tunes. Now, as we go into our

summer we want to wish every-

one good times, fabulous vaca-

tions and continued dancing

wherever you go. - Father’s Day

is June 16 and we want to wish

all of our fathers and grandfa-

thers well deserved celebrations.

Mothers Day passed us by since

our last newsletter, but we want

to also honor our mothers and

grandmothers. Family unity

with cherished members make

up our foundations, please keep

them strong. - We plan to have a

summer picnic in early July

pending location certainty. We

will send out the date as soon as

it is firm. - We are excited to

share with you that our BBC

Board presented an original

painting of a Moose to our dance

home the Moose Lodge #1655.

The painting was donated to us

by a BBC friend, Ms. Brigitte

Causey. What a special evening

that was. The Moose officials

were delighted and grateful. It

will be hanging in the Moose

Lodge for everyone’s pleasure.

Thank you Brigitte! Please see

the relevant article in the news-

letter with more details. We are

fortunate to have the Moose

Lodge as our dance venue. They

are good to us and the

opportunity is rare.

Please let them know

when you have a

chance that we appreciate their

hospitality. -Don’t forget to get

your SOS cards to go to the Fall

Migration in N. Myrtle from

9/12-21. You can go for as short

or as long as you wish. It is a lot

of fun and so refreshing! The

Fun Monday tickets are now

available. Please check with a

Board member to get your tick-

ets. The tickets are $10 each,

with 4 chances to win $250—

$7,500. A portion of the pro-

ceeds go to “Caring for Kids. -

”Make a note: the Northern Va.

Shag Club Capital Classic is

8/15-16. A great party! And,

save the date for our BBC sec-

ond Sunset Toast party on 10/12.

We will begin ticket sales soon.

Don’t forget to bring in your si-

lent auction items each dance

night to help with our Silent Ac-

tion at our Sunset party. If you

have questions on this, just let

me know. We will keep you up

to date through our Bugle Call

notices, just stay tuned for hap-

penings. So, keep the spirit and

let the good times roll!

How exciting! Ms. Brigitte Causey a friend of the BBC donated a painting of a Moose entitled “Morning Watch” to the BBC. In turn with her encouragement the BBC bestowed the painting to the Moose Lodge #1655 where the BBC calls home. As background, Ms. Causey’s uncle is the artist, so in honor of Ms. Causey’s husband, George Edward Causey she wanted to give the painting to the BBC and the Lodge. The painting is circa 1936 depicting a majestic moose surveying the vista of a new day. The artist, Ms. Causey’s uncle, is Karl Grosse-Sattelmair of Munich, Germany best known for his beautiful landscape depictions of his home country. The BBC wanted to present it to the Moose Lodge #1655 in appreciation for its hospitality for allow-ing the BBC to hold its dances at the Lodge in the community room. Many of the BBC members al-so have become Moose members. The BBC wants the Moose Lodge members to enjoy the painting for many years and look forward to seeing it on the wall for everyone’s pride and pleasure.

St. Patty’s Day

Battlefield Boogie Club

Congratulations! On March 1, 2019 the newest members of the Beach Music DJ

Hall of Fame were inducted at Fat Harold's Beach Club in N.

Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Included was Jim Rose, one of

NVSC’s former deejays.

Originally from Fredericksburg, VA, Jim now resides in North

Myrtle Beach, SC. Jim has been interested and involved in music

since the 60s, spinning his first vinyl record for a party in 1968

and

playing in a few bands. Collecting vinyl and DJing is a passion for

Jim. He loves to play the music and make people happy. Jim has

played in every club on Main Street in North Myrtle. You’ll find

him now at Ducks during SOS. He also plays at shag club events

from Virginia down to Florida.

Jim’s radio show, “The Rhythm of the Beach” is a collection of

old

and new favorites ranging from the 1940s up to some of today’s

hits with emphasis on Soul and Rhythm & Blues. Some of the

past

shows have included Rat Pack Afternoon, Strictly Northern Soul,

Tribute to The Boulevard Grill, Tribute to The Bushes, Tribute to

the Jolly Knave and a Smoothies show.

Tune in for some of the best shag music around!

Jim and his wife Carolyn show off the award

We regret that this recognition is not timely but we are truly proud of Jim and his accomplishments. Early in his Freder-icksburg music days in providing music whenever he could, both for free and to just cover the music he loves, Jim was in-strumental in our shag mania in Freder-icksburg, He started showing up at local clubs to play for those interested enthusi-asts and began a gathering of folks that stuck with him. Then along came the be-ginnings of the Battlefield Boogie Club. Thank you Jim for planting a seed that helped us wake up Fredericksburg. We are proud of you and continue to sup-port and love your music! Battlefield Boogie Club Fredericksburg, Va. Thank you to Northern Virginia Shag Club for this very nice write up recognizing Jim Rose! We share in the pride!
