Myrtle Beach 2001

Here are a couple old shots I found of Charles & Lesley in 2001 before they were married. They had come to North Carolina for a visit (meet the parents) and I took them to Myrtle Beach for the day. These 2 pix are at the Bowery, where the legendary group "Alabama" got their start.

Alabama played their very first gigs here for tips, food, and beer. They became the house band for a number of years and were local favorites. After becoming known worldwide, Alabama returned to their musical roots. Although they were originally from Alabama, they built an awesome theatre, "Alabama & Friends" at Myrtle Beach. The theatre houses all sorts of musical acts and normally the group ALABAMA appears approximately once a month.
