This Week On Treasure Island Oldies


This week on Treasure Island Oldies
December 6th, 2009 to December 12th, 2009

The hills are alive with the sounds of the season, as are the valleys, cities and towns and even here on the Island! It was great to play more Christmas songs on the show this week, including some Lost Treasures like Gilbert O'Sullivan's Christmas Song, Winter Wonderland by Motown's famous Funk Brothers, Gayla Peavey's I Want A Hippopotamus For Christmas, and many others. There are so many Christmas songs that either get heard once or twice during the season or not at all. That's why I've decided that next week's show will be all Christmas songs, with the exception of a couple of our regular features. It'll be a fun prelude to our 13th Annual Christmas Special in two weeks, Sunday, December 20th. And I'd like to have you as part of this most special special. Here's what to do. Call the Treasure Island Oldies Listener Request Line at any time of the day or night at 206-203-4678 and record your Christmas and Holiday greeting. I'll play it back on our Christmas Special. I've already had listeners leave their message, now it's your turn to share your kind thoughts and wishes with the entire listening audience. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Eddy Fisher, our webmaster here on the Island, has been in touch with the North Pole and has added more decorations to the website and it's even started snowing. So no worries that Santa won't be able to land his sleigh on your rooftop, there'll be plenty of snow by then. Thanks Eddy!

We continue with our Christmas music theme again this week at the Treasure Island Oldies Blog with a great song by a young Michael Jackson's Little Christmas Tree. It's our Song of the Week. Enjoy!

We have our last Voice Your Choice for 2009 next week on the show and we feature The Doobie Brothers with Long Train Runnin' and Black Water. Which song would you like to hear? Click the Voice Your Choice button on any page of the website and cast your vote. The winning song will be played in Hour 3 of next week's show.

If you or someone special to you is having a birthday, let me know. Send the details to michael@treasureislandoldies.com. It'll be my pleasure to wish you Happy Birthday and play Birthday by The Beatles.

Is your alma mater planning a high school, college or university Reunion? Let me know and I'll be pleased to let the listeners know about it. Today with people scattered all around the globe, it is sometimes difficult to reach them. I'll do my best to help publicize and promote your Reunion. Send the details to michael@treasureislandoldies.com.
 
I'd like to invite you to add your photo to the Treasure Island Oldies Listener Gallery. Many folks have already submitted their photos but there's still room for yours. Send your picture, name and city to michael@treasureislandoldies.com. I look forward to receiving  it from you.

Have a good week.

Bye for now.

Michael
