This week on Treasure Island Oldies
August 31st to September 6th 2008
Thanks for another fun Labour Day Special and for your requests. Every time I put together a special, it amazes me just how many songs fit into that particular theme. With this week's show, there were plenty of work related songs, lots of school related ones as well, plus a few songs added for the end of summer. And it turned into a blend of great music for four hours.
Our next special will be in two weeks time with The Name Game, an Encore Presentation of this popular special Sunday, September 14th. For our other upcoming special shows, be sure to check out the Schedule. Click Listen on the Menu then Schedules.
Over at the Treasure Island Oldies Blog, our Song of the Week is the fantastic Sam Cooke in a performance of You Send Me. Enjoy!
Voice Your Choice presents Gene Pitney with two of his hit songs for your votes. Do you prefer I Must Be Seeing Things or Last Chance To Turn Around? Cast your vote by clicking the Voice Your Choice button on any page of the website. We'll play the winning song in Hour 3 of next week's show.
Nice to hear from several listeners about the Walker Brothers clip at the Blog a couple of weeks ago, including my longtime friend from my A&M Records days, James Monaco. Sam Ward in Mississauga, Ontario also sent a very nice note. Gordon from Australia emailed saying how much he is enjoying the show as a new listener and commented how he is hearing so many songs that he has not heard in many years. Thanks, Gordon. Angus Macdonald in Portland, Oregon sent a note to say he enjoys listening to the show as well. John Corbett sent in a request to play Report To The Nation by Winkly and Nutly on the Novelty Tune of the Week feature. They were actually Bob Mitchell and Jim Stag, two disc jockeys from KYA in San Francisco. John, be sure to listen to next week's show!
