This Week On Treasure Island Oldies

This week on Treasure Island oldies
May 16th, 2010 to May 22nd, 2010

I am pleased to advise you that the Real Media Show Archives are back up and running again. My thanks to our Webmaster, Eddy Fisher and Ross at insinc for working so diligently to get everything back up and running. Fortunately the 24/7 Continuous Feed was never down and continues to be working just fine and is also available on the Listen page for your enjoyment.

Happy Birthday wishes go out to my mom, Kathleen Godin, who turned 90 years young this week. It was a treat to wish her Happy Birthday on the show and play our official birthday song for her. And if you have a birthday coming up, be sure to let me know by sending your name birthday date and city to birthday@treasureislandoldies.com. I'll recognize you on the show and play Birthday by The Beatles for you.

Speaking of glitches, the company that provides our voting counting service for Voice Your Choice is undergoing some upgrades. Accordingly, we were unable to complete the voting for Johnny Rivers this week. As a result, I decided to call it a draw and ended up playing both Slow Dancing Swayin' To The Music and Summer Rain. I am sure the upgrades will be completed for next week when Voice Your Choice will feature Pat Boone with two of his most loved songs: April Love and Love Letters In The Sand. Which song would you like to hear? To ensure that you don't get an error message, please wait for a few days before you cast your vote. Then click the Voice Your Choice button on any page of the website. If all goes well, the winning song will be played on next week's show.

As you know, there are many radio stations that carry Treasure Island Oldies. I'm pleased to let you know that The Crow in McKinney, Texas is now also heard on 1560 AM as well as 99.9 FM. Please check our complete list of stations, click the Visit Our Affiliate Broadcast Stations button.

The Treasure Island Oldies Blog is playing Gary Lewis And The Playboys in a clip filled with screaming girls at the beginning and end! Count Me In is our Song of the Week. Enjoy!

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.

Bye for now.
