This Week on Treasure Island Oldies

This week on Treasure Island Oldies
February 22nd to 28th 2009

I mentioned in last week's update that I had been invited to be interviewed about the show by Jim Hurcomb and Al Fleming on CFRA Radio in Ottawa, Ontario, the capital city of Canada. I am pleased to be able to make that interview available for you to hear. I hope you enjoy it. Click here to listen.

After months of planning, the Listener Gallery has been launched and available for viewing at the website. Click the Listener Gallery button on the Main page as well as the Listen, Chat and Voice Your Choice pages. And it is definitely not too late to add your photo to the Listener Gallery. We will be constantly updating the page with more photos as they arrive. Show the world you'd a regular listener. Send your name, city and photo to michael@treasureislandoldies.com.

Happy Birthday wishes go out to George Mooth in Edwardsburg, Michigan. If you have a birthday coming up, be sure to let me know. Send your name, birth date and city to birthday@treasureislandoldies.com.

The Treasure Island Oldies Blog spotlights The Everly Brothers in a vintage clip from the Patti Page Show from 50 years ago! They perform two of their hits: Wake Up Little Susie and Should We Tell Him. Enjoy!

Voice Your Choice this week features the King of Rock And Roll, Elvis Presley, with two of his 153 charted hits. This week you get to cast your vote for either Little Sister or Return To Sender. Make your selection at the Voice Your Choice page. Just click the Voice Your Choice button on any page of the website. We'll play the winner in Hour 3 of next week's show.

We are just a few weeks away from our 50 Plus Special on March 22nd. On this special will be songs that appeared on the Billboard chart between Number 50 and 100. You'll hear lots of Lost Treasures that will twig your memory; and I am sure that there will be many songs that will have you scratching your head in wonder as to why they didin't make it higher on the chart. Chances are you'll remember every record.

If you missed the live show, you can enjoy the Archive of February 22, 2009; just click the Listen button on the Menu. Be sure to check out the Playlist and see all the songs we played on the show.

Have a good week.

Michael
