This week on Treasure Island Oldies March 15th to 21st 2008
We had a great turnout again this week with listeners from all around the world and also lots of folks in the Chat Room. If you have never experienced the Chat Room during the live show, I highly encourage you to try it. The regular Nuts in the Hut are most welcoming and make you feel right at home. Try it for yourself on the next live show. Just click Chat on any page of the website and just follow the easy step-by-step instructions. See you in the Hut.
Happy Birthday wishes go out to Rick Canode in Madison, Wisconsin, and to Joel Drucker in Randolph, New Jersey. Rick, by the way, is a regular contributor to the show with the weekly feature Rick's Rare Rock And Roll Relic. It was great to play Birthday by The Beatles, our official birthday song. If you have a birthday coming up, be sure to let me know. Send your name, birth date, city, and province or state to birthday@treasureislandoldies.com I'll wish you Happy Birthday on the show.
Get set to have your memory banks going at full tilt next week for our first-ever 50 Plus Special. We'll be playing songs that appeared on the lower half of the Billboard chart, from number 50 to 100. You'll be surprised with some of the songs, knowing that they never got higher than number 50 on the chart. I am sure you will enjoy this interesting perspective on the music you know and love.
To get you in the mood for next week's 50 Plus Special, this week the Treasure Island Oldies Blog features The Showmen with General Norman Johnson on lead vocal. The Song of the Week is the classic It Will Stand, a song that appeared twice on the Billboard chart in late 1961 and again in 1964. Both times the song remained in the lower half of the Hot 100. Enjoy this classic!
Voice Your Choice spotlights the pride of New Orleans, Lee Dorsey with two of his well-known hits: Working In A Coal Mine and Ride Your Pony. Cast your vote for the song you'd like to hear on the show next week. Click the Voice Your Choice button on any page of the website and make your selection. We'll play the winning song in Hour 3 of next week's show.
We've added more photos of listeners to the Listener Gallery, and I would be pleased to include your photo too. Just send your picture, name, city, and province or state to michael@treasureislandoldies.com
