May 24th to 30th, 2009Hi Folks, a big hello to our American friends and listeners who are celebrating Memorial Day and recognizing the sacrifices others have made for their country on their behalf recently and in the past so that they can enjoy freedom and democracy today and tomorrow.
What a crowd we had in the Chat Room once again this week. Every week someone new drops by for a visit and the Chat Room regulars, the Nuts in the Hut are most welcoming. We said hi to J and also to Tony. Please be sure to come back again. I do want to stress how important it is to follow the instructions for getting into the Chat Room completely. If you close any window during the login process, you will not be able to communicate with the folks in the Chat Room. It's not a complicated process but the instructions must be carefully followed. Click Chat on the Menu for all the information. Try it out for yourself during the next live show. We'd love to see you.
Happy Birthday wishes go out this week to Bruce Toews in Winnipeg, Manitoba. We played Birthday by The Beatles for him and will do the same for your upcoming birthday. Just drop me a note with your name, city, country and date of your birthday. We'll wish you all the best on the air and also play our official Birthday song for you too. Send the info to birthdays@treasureislandoldies.com
We had a ton of requests again this week including songs asked for by Tony in Western Pennsylvania, George in Edwardsburg, Michigan, Maureen in Berkeley, California, Dana in New Jersey, Fred in Saint Catharines, Ontario, plus it was nice to hear from Suzanne Beausoleil, a former singer in Quebec but who now lives in Fort Meyers, Florida. Thanks for all your requests. If there's a song you'd like to hear, send an email to me by clicking the Requests button on any page of the website or better still give me a call on our 24/7 Listener Request Line at 206-203-4678. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Over at the Treasure Island Oldies Blog, our Song of the Week is by the incomparable Jimmie Rodgers in a great live performance from 1965 with Woman From Liberia. Can this guy ever sing. Enjoy!
