August 23rd, 2015 to August 29th 2015
The
four hours of this week's show just flew by; in fact, I had to double
check the clock as we were approaching the 4th hour. I was pleased to
play a couple of leftover requests from last week's Planes, Trains &
Automobiles Special. I ran out of time and had to hold them over to
this week's show. Glad you enjoyed hearing Down By The Station by the
Four Preps as well as Magic Bus by The Who. If there's a song you'd like
to hear, please let me know and I'll do my best to play it for you. A
few weeks ago, Jeff who is from Idaho, was visiting in the chat room and
he mentioned a song that he had not heard since it was a hit in 1964.
The song was Jump Back by Rufus Thomas. Unfortunately I didn't have it
in the studio at the time, so I finally got to play it for Jeff on this
week's show. If I could have seen his face, there would have been a huge
grin on it. He was so happy to hear it again after so many years. It
was my pleasure, Jeff. Be sure to enter the Treasure Island Oldies 18th Anniversary Contest now. I'll announce the August winner on next week's show. So don't delay. Click the 18th Anniversary Contest logo for more information.
A quick reminder for your calendar. The next special will happen next Sunday, August 30th for the Annual Labour Day Back To School End of Summer Special.
