This Week on Treasure Island OldiesMarch 14th, 2010 to march 20th, 2010
Well it was sure good to be back together again this week and I am so pleased that the technical problems at the network's radio studio have been fixed. It was great to have so many Nuts in the Hut this week; the Chat Room was buzzing. I'd like to thank our Webmaster, Eddy Fisher for the use of four of his amazing photos on the Treasure Island Oldies Blog that he took at the Opening Ceremonies of the Vancouver 2010 Paralympic Winter Games. If you have not had a chance, be sure to scroll down to the posting below. These photos actually DO justice to the size of the venue; there were over sixty thousand people in attendance. I'd also like to thank those of you who have commented on the photos; it was great hearing from you. I've passed on your comments to Eddy and he said thanks very much.
Happy Birthday wishes go out this week to my good friend and very long time listener Rick Canode in Madison, Wisconsin. Rick surprises us all every week with Rick's Rare Rock And Roll Relic, a very cool feature on the show every week in the third hour. Have a great birthday, Rick. If you have a birthday coming up, let me know by sending your name, city and birthday date to michael@treasureislandoldies.com We'll play Birthday by The Beatles for you.
Be sure to join me next week for the return of the Name Game Special. To give you and idea of a song that you'll hear, the Treasure Island Oldies Blog is playing Peggy Sue by Buddy Holly & The Crickets. It's our Song of the Week. Oh by the way, watch the opening introduction carefully and watch for the hostess's comments regarding Rock And Roll Music and teenagers!
Voice Your Choice spotlights The Miracles with two of their hit songs: Mickey's Monkey and I'll Try Something New. See as next week is the Name Game Special, it would be ironic if Mickey's Monkey was the winner. Time will tell. Cast your vote for the song you'd like to hear. Click here for the Voice Your Choice page and make your selection. We'll play the winning song in Hour 3 of next week's show.
