December
21st, 2014 to January 3rd, 2015
Well my favourite show of this year is now here and available for your
enjoyment now available on the Archive.
Click Listen and then select the 18th Annual Christmas Special
from December 21, 2014. I enjoy bringing this special to you more and more
every year. It was wonderful have so many friends in the Chat Room; the Nuts in the
Hut bring an extra dimension to doing the Live show. Thanks for a great time
together. And also big thanks to you for calling the Listener Line to record your Holiday Greetings.
Please note that as I do every year, I will taking next week off.
Consequently, our regular features including the Rock and Roll News, Top 5
Countdown and Voice Your Choice will only return for the next show which will
be the New Year Dance Party, Live
Sunday, January 4, 2015.
It’s been another good year here at Treasure Island Oldies and we
continued to grow our Broadcast Partners
Network with new radio stations carrying the show across Canada and the United States, England, Scotland, Ireland, Sweden, Germany, New Zealand and China!
And the Treasure Island Oldies Blog
continues to be a source for folks wanting info about Oldies.
I’d like to make special mention of Eddy
Fisher, my partner and webmaster. You wouldn’t believe all the “backstage”
work he does every week to bring you the website updates and podcast of the Rock and Roll News and Top 5 Countdown. His creativity and
enthusiasm is evident in the decorations all over the website. And the many
comments I have received from you about this year’s decorations in particular
are evidence you see and appreciate what he does for Treasure Island Oldies and
for you.
The show also has great friends who are regular contributors and I’d
like to thank Tom Locke, for the
weekly Moment In Time; there’s
always an interesting background story to the featured song. Rick Canode has a massive music
collection and has been delivering Rick’s
Rare Rock and Roll Relic for over 7 years now. Very cool. It’s also been
fun hearing the encore presentation of Hits
From Across The Pond with Fay
Greenwood and very well produced by Matt
Meaney. And finally, I’d like to thank Paul
Carter Jr. who after more than four years, wrapped up the Music Link series. All these features
and more make the show special, along with your requests and emails.
One more thing. I am very grateful to the financial supporters of the
show with their monthly PayPal donation. You know who you are. It is very much
appreciated. Thank You.
Next year will be a milestone, the 18th
Anniversary of Treasure Island Oldies. And we’ll be celebrating with 18
specials throughout the year, as well as having a fun contest, in conjunction
with my friends at TNJ Poster Creations.
Click on the big 18 logo for details on how to enter the contest. Do it soon as the first winner
will be announced on the New Year Dance Party on January 4, 2015.
I sincerely hope you have a wonderful holiday, celebrating with your
friends and family. Please remember do NOT drink and drive.
Happy
Chanukah, Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year.
Bye for now.
Michael
