102.5 Shore Things
Getting to know the Eastern Shore

#29. Best beach street in Ocean City: 65th Street. It’s easy to get to off Route 90, not as crowded, and a beautiful beach.

This was sent in by a listener, and I've actually been to the beach at 65th Street. There was convenient free parking, not a lot of traffic, gorgeous beaches, restaraunts nearby - it really is a great spot to spend a few hours on the beach! Disagree with this being the best spot? Send your beach spot in!

#28. Smelling salt water
#27. Delmar Pizza
#26. Pony Swim and Auction
#25. YMCA Salisbury - indoor and outdoor pool

Have something to add to the list? I'd love for you to email me your ideas: jmillwood@wolc.org

ARTIST OF THE DAY:
Chris Lee

Proving that it isn't exactly what you know, but who you know in the music industry, Chris Lee got his start via Christian music legend Michael English. Originally from Washington DC, Chris Lee spent some of his childhood touring with his family, singing in churches throughout the Mid-Atlantic. Danny spent a few years in Virginia leading worship before heading to Nashville to become a struggling artist.

Chris settled down, got married and was looking to leave the music industry when lightning struck (in the form of Michael English). Chris began touring with English as an opening performer and background vocalist. Hey - that's how Michael W. Smith got his start (background and keyboards for Amy Grant)!

The last few years have not been the break-out that Chris Lee hoped for. He is not currently recording or touring, but you can check out his music here: http://www.myspace.com/christopherlee001
