This
week on Treasure Island Oldies
January 29th, 2012 to February 4th,
2012
As we get through
another winter season, whether cold and snowy or mild and rainy,
it's good to hear some hot music on the show. And this week was no
exception; thanks for your requests. I always enjoy hearing from
you, whether it be via email or a phone call. You can get your song
requests to me by calling the Treasure Island Oldies Listener
Line 24/7 at 206-339-0709.
You can also send an email by clicking the Requests
button on any
page of the website. I'll do my best to play your requests. The big
thing to remember though, is the songs had to have been on the Hot
100 during the 50s, 60s, and 70s. While I play Lost
Treasures, they all charted among on the top 100 charts.
I look forward to hearing from you.
A
programming alert for next week. It's our Annual
Tribute to Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and The Big Bopper on The
Day The Music Died. We'll recall the events following the
announcement of the plane crash February
4, 1959 near
Clear Lake, Iowa,
with news clips, interviews and some of the greatest music ever. Be
sure to Listen next Sunday,
February 5, 2011. The show begins at 6 p.m. Pacific time.
Happy Birthday wishes
go out to identical twins, and good friends of mine, Judi
Gunter in Calgary, Alberta,
and Janet
Dunnett in Qualicum
Beach, British Columbia.
Hope you have a nice celebration. If you have a birthday coming up,
be sure to let me know by sending the details of your special day to birthdays@treasureislandoldiess.com.
I'll be pleased to wish you Happy
Birthday on
the show and play Birthday by The
Beatles, as I did for Judy and Janet.
The Treasure Island Oldies Blog is
playing the
fantastic Staple
Singers with
one of their huge R&B hits, If
You're Ready (Come Go With Me). It's a clip from Soul
Train and is
also our Song
of the Week. Enjoy!
Voice Your Choice presents
"Slowhand", Eric
Clapton. After all his years with various other musicians
in groups such as John
Mayall's Bluesbreakers, The
Yardbirds, John
Lennon's Plastic Ono Band, Cream, Blind
Faith and
more, Eric Clapton came into his own as a solo performer. A whole
new string of hits resulted and we're featuring two of them for your
votes this week. Would you like to hear After
Midnight or I
Shot The Sheriff? Interestingly, both songs were not
written by Eric. After Midnight was written and recorded by J.J.
Cale, while I Shot The Sheriff was written and recorded
by Bob
Marley. Cast your vote for the song you'd like me to play
at the Voice
Your Choice page. We'll play the winning song in the 3rd
hour of next week's show.
I continue to hear from listeners that are now listening to the show
on their new smartphone. They tell me it is the coolest to be able
to walk or drive and have Treasure Island Oldies playing along with
you. Well done and thanks for listening. You can find an inexpensive
app for your smartphone. Once installed, just search for Treasure
Island Oldies and you'll be "on the Island"
before you know it.
Have a good week. See you soon on Treasure Island Oldies.
Bye for now.
Michael
