This Week on Treasure Island Oldies

Happy Valentine's Day! We sure had a four hour "Love Fest" for our Annual Valentine's Day Special! And the Chat Room was hopping like a bunch of rabbits! LOL It is always a treat to greet Listeners coming into the Chat Room for the first time. The Regulars, the Nuts in the Hut, are always so gracious and welcoming. Check it out for yourself next Sunday when we are live. Get all the details on how to log on by clicking Chat on the Menu. I'd also like to say thanks for all your great requests via the Chat Room, email and the Request Line. It was nice to hear from listeners calling in for the first time. And I would also enjoy hearing from you with your requests and comments any time. Click Requests or Call the Request Line 206-203-4678. Please stay in touch.

Happy Birthday wishes go out to Guylaine Côté in Quebec City, Quebec, who is enjoying her special day this week. She used to listen to me many years ago when I worked at CFOM in Quebec City. She was 10 years old back then! If you have a birthday coming up, or someone special to you is having a birthday, let me know. Send the name, city and birth date to birthdays@treasureislandoldies.com. We'll extend our best wishes on the air and play our official birthday theme song, Birthday, by The Beatles.

More congratulations go out, this time to my friends, Matt and Fay, in Langley, British Columbia. They are celebrating their wedding anniversary this week and we wish these Chat Room regulars a very Happy Anniversary! Say, if you have an anniversary coming up, let me know about it. Send an email with the details to michael@treasureislandoldies.com.

Mark you calendar for our next special, coming Sunday, March 22nd. For the first time ever, it's the 50 Plus Special. We'll play songs that appeared between Number 50 to 100 on the Billboard charts. I can promise you that you'll hear some Lost Treasures you haven't heard in many years. Some of which you may even have forgotten. They'll all come back to you for our 50 Plus Special on March 22nd.

The Treasure Island Oldies Blog has Elvis Presley in the spotlight in a performance clip from the Ed Sullivan Show in 1957. Along with The Jordanaires, Elvis performs Too Much, a great song for Valentine's and also our Song of the Week. Enjoy!

Gary Lewis and The Playboys are in the spotlight this week on Voice Your Choice. You can vote for either of these two Top Ten hits: Sure Gonna Miss Her and Save Your Heart For Me. Cast your vote - click Voice Your Choice on any page of the website. We'll play the winner in the 3rd Hour of next week's show.

You've still got time to send in your photo to be included on the Listener Gallery page, coming soon. Send your picture, first name and city to michael@treasureislandoldies.com.
