This Week On Treasure Island Oldies

September 27th, 2009 to October 3rd, 2009

The Chat Room was hopping and the tunes were happening once again this week on the live show. It would be very nice to welcome more listeners to the Chat Room. We are live every Sunday from 6 to 10 Pacific time. There is a world clock here on the website that can help you figure out when the show is live in your city. Once again, my thanks go out to Bruce Toews in Winnipeg, Manitoba for once again providing his own Toews On The Waves radio show chat room, while our chat server at the network tries to resolve the problem. The instructions to log in are located by clicking Chat on the Menu on any page of the website. Please follow carefully, as there are two different ways to connect: IRC software or via the web.

It was nice to hear from Becky aka ogopogo in Westbank, British Columbia in the beautiful Okanagan Valley. She is a listener and one of the regular Nuts in the Hut in the Chat Room. She has been very busy in the past several weeks and has not been able to drop by, but in her email she sent her best wishes to not only the Nuts in the Hut, but to listeners around the world.

More folks have connected with me this week on Facebook, including singer Lenny Welch, and industry friends Artie Wayne, Kevin Shea, Russ Horton at D-Moos.com (where Treasure Island Oldies is on 24 hours every Thursday), Doug Thompson, Burt Thombs, Pete Donato, and listeners Craig Smith, Bruce Toews, Guylaine Coté; DJs Joey Reynolds, Stu Jeffries, and Dave Currie. I invite you to follow me on Facebook. The object of this is to get connected with as many inter-connected people worldwide. Oh yes, and to have fun too.

Bill Withers is the subject of a new documentary movie titled Still Bill currently playing in film festivals around the world. This week the Treasure Island Oldies Blog features Bill in a great live performance of his hit song Use Me. Enjoy!

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's great to have so many listeners in the Listener Gallery already, and your photo would make a great addition. Send your photo, name, city and state or province to michael@treasureislandoldies.com.

Have a great week.

Bye for now.

Michael
