This Week On Treasure Island Oldies

Thank you so very much for the great welcome home from my vacation in Sydney, Australia. To say I had a great time is an understatement; it was the trip of a lifetime. I would love to go back but for a longer time to be able to see more of this amazing country. I must say though, that on Saturday afternoon went to downtown Vancouver and to the beach. Sitting on the sand in English Bay and taking in the view is also pretty dazzling. So I am very fortunate to live is such a great city. I must say that despite being back for four days now, I feel more tired than I did when I first got back. So this week's update won't be lengthy.

It was also a special treat to play some great music by Australian artists, most of whom I am sure you were already familiar with, but it was great to play some songs that you may have never heard before by artists such as Country Radio, The Dingoes, Sherbet, John Farnham, Jimmy Barnes, Normie Rowe, etc. It was fun to have this mini Aussie Special.

Speaking of Aussie music, over at the Treasure Island Oldies Blog our Song of the Week is Gypsy Queen by Greg Quill and Country Radio. It was the 1972 Song of the Year. Enjoy!

Next week on Voice Your Choice we feature Roger Miller with two of his fun and wacky hits to choose from: Dang Me and Chug-A-Lug. Have a preference for one song over the other? Cast your vote by clicking on the Voice Your Choice button on any page of the website and make your selection. We'll play the winner in Hour 3 of next week's show.

Happy Birthday wishes go out to Scott Harmon in Phenix City, Alabama, a regular in the Chat Room and one of the Nuts In The Hut. All the best to you, Scott. If you have a birthday coming up or would like me to wish Happy Birthday to someone special, send the details to me: name, birthday date as well and the city, province or state and country to michael@treasureislandoldies.com and I'll play our official birthday song, Birthday by The Beatles, to recognize the special day.

It was nice to receive a photo from Mike Gorman in San Leandro, California and his pic is now posted to the Treasure Island Oldies Listener Gallery. It's great to have so many listeners in the gallery already, and your photo would make a great addition. Send your photo, name, city and state or province to michael@treasureislandoldies.com.

Once again, a big thank you to Bruce Toews in Winnipeg, Manitoba for offering the use of his Toews On The Waves radio show chat room while our chat server remains down. Update as to the status of our chat room coming ASAP.

Have a great week.

Bye for now.

Michael
