This Week On Treasure Island Oldies

This week on Treasure Island Oldies
March 7th, 2010 to March 13th, 2010

Well not much happened on the Island this week. In fact, nothing happened at all. We were unable to bring you the show this week due to technical difficulties with our network's radio studio facilities. I dearly hope that they are fixed in time for next week's show. I'll keep you posted via the Treasure Island Oldies Blog. Please be sure to stop by for an update later in the week.

Happy Birthday wishes go out to Roy Geldart in Campbell River, British Columbia. If you have a birthday coming up, let me know by sending your name, city and birthday date to michael@treasureislandoldies.com We'll play Birthday by The Beatles, our official birthday song, for Roy on next week's show.

The Treasure Island Oldies Blog features two video clips this week in recognition of the passing of Lolly Vegas, the lead singer and guitarist for Redbone, with Witch Queen Of New Orleans. The other song is Whatcha See Is Whatcha Get by The Dramatics, in recognition of Ron Banks, the founding member of The Dramatics, who also passed away.

As we were unable to bring you this week's show, we will continue with Herman's Hermits on Voice Your Choice for another week. This Door Swings Both Ways and Don't Go Out Into The Rain (You're Going To Melt) are the two hits for your votes. Which song would you like to hear? Cast your vote - click the Voice Your Choice button on any page of the website and make your selection. The winning song will be played in the 3rd hour of next week's show.

I know you don't always have a huge amount of time to listen to the entire four hour show. You can now listen to the Top 5 Countdown, and enjoy a popular weekly feature of the show showcasing the five biggest songs from this week in Rock and Roll History. Click Listen on the Menu and scroll down to Top 5 Countdown and click on the button.

Remember to send in your photo for the Treasure Island Oldies Listener Gallery. Many folks have, 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.

Is your high school, college or university Alma Mater planning a 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.

Have a good week. Fingers crossed for the show next week.

Bye for now.

Michael
