This Week On Treasure Island Oldies

July 11th, 2010 to July 17th, 2010

I find it so amazing how four hours can go by so quickly every week, but it sure does. And this week was no exception with the great company in the Chat Room with the Nuts in the Hut, your requests and all the great music. And we'll do it all over again next week. And in two weeks time it's the first of two more back-to-back specials. On Sunday, August 25th it's the Technicolor Special, and every song will have a colour in the title. I haven't brought this theme to you in many years and I really look forward to it. The next week, Sunday, August 1st it's our highly acclaimed Annual Instrumental Gems Wordless Wonders Special. Back in the '50s and '60s, and to a lesser extent in the 1970s, many hits on the charts were instrumentals. Today you rarely ever hear an instrumental song anywhere. We'll bring back your favourite wordless songs for your enjoyment. As always if you have a request for a song, be sure to let me know. Email you requests by clicking the Requests button on any page of the website. In addition, you can call our 24/7 Listener Line and record your request message at 206-203-4678. I look forward to hearing from you.

Happy Birthday wishes go out to my son David Godin who celebrated his 28th birthday. I'd like to wish you all the best on your special day too. Send the details of your birthday or someone special to you by sending an email to birthdays@treasureislandoldies.com.

The Treasure Island Oldies Blog is playing a huge hit by the Fifth Dimension, Stone Soul Picnic. Enjoy!

A couple of weeks ago I went to see the stage performance of Buddy: The Buddy Holly Story in Vancouver. What a show! The run has been virtually sold out and has had fantastic reviews. It made me think of featuring Buddy Holly on Voice Your Choice, So this week we feature two of Buddy's great songs for your votes. Would you like me to play It Doesn't Matter Anymore or Maybe Baby? Cast your vote at the Voice Your Choice page and make your selection. The winning song will be played in the 3rd hour of next week's show.

Here is a reminder to the Alumni of Petaluma High School Class of 1974. The 36 Year Reunion of this Petaluma, California high school is taking place the weekend of August 20th. For information contact Diane at PetalumaHigh1974@gmail.com. If your alma mater is planning a Reunion, be sure to let me know and I'll pass the information on to you on the show and on the website too. Send the details to reunion@treasureislandoldies.com.
