This Week On Treasure Island Oldies

This week on Treasure Island Oldies

January 17th, 2010 to January 23rd, 2010

What a show this week, thanks for so many great comments. It was great to hear from Marjorie Corbo in Minnesota via Facebook who listens to the show on Cruisin' Oldies and sometimes on Flaming Oldies too. She commented that she really enjoys the music I play on the show. Thanks, Marjorie. It was nice hearing from California Barb with the information as to where The Choir came from, the group that later became The Raspberries. It was Cleveland, Ohio. Thanks Barb. Also good to hear from Maureen in Berkley, California, who asked me about Happy New Year Baby by Neil Sedaka. She wanted to know where she could get a copy of it. It is included on the album The Miracle Of Christmas by Neil Sedaka. If you have any questions or comments, give me a call on the 24/7 Listener Request Line at 206-203-4678.

Lots more people have recently become friends on Facebook. It's been great to connect with Bobby Gale, Jammin Jon Sommers, Karen Carpenter Hazelet-Graham, George Oliver, Dan Freeman, Brian Pearl, and my long time friend Stirling Faux, a great broadcaster.

Happy Birthday wishes go out to Judy Covington in Canton, Ohio and coming up next Sunday it's Fred Waterer's birthday. He lives near Niagara Falls, Ontario. We played Birthday by The Beatles on the show this week for Judy and on next week's show we'll play it for Fred. If you or someone special to you is having a birthday, let me know. Send the details to michael@treasureislandoldies.com. It'll be my pleasure to wish you Happy Birthday and play Birthday by The Beatles.

Many folks have already submitted their photos, and there's still room for yours. Send your picture, name and city to michael@treasureislandoldies.com. I look forward to receiving  it from you.

Is your high school, college or university Alma Mater planning a Reunion? Let me know and I'll be pleased to let the listeners know about it.

Have a good week.

Bye for now.
