This Week On Treasure Island Oldies

May 23rd, 2010 to May 29th, 2010
I sure enjoyed spending time with you on this week's show. And it was a pleasure to have Matt Meaney join me in the studio. Not only is Matt a good friend and former DJ and he produces our weekly feature Hits From Across the Pond with Fay Greenwood. We had fun both on and off air with quite a few laughs. Come back any time Matt.

The Voice Your Choice voting provider is still having problems and continues to be down. We may have to suspend Voice Your Choice this week; I will let you know with a posting on the Voice Your Choice page and at the Treasure Island Oldies Blog as the week progresses. Thanks for your patience.

I would like to wish you Happy Birthday on the show and play Birthday by The Beatles for you. Let me know when your birthday is coming up by sending an email to birthday@treasureislandoldies.com.

Welcome back wishes go out to George Mooth in Edwardsburg, Michigan, who is on the mend from recent surgery. It was good to have him back in the Chat Room. It would be fun to have you join in on the friendly conversation and banter with the regulars in the Chat Room, or as I call them the Nuts In The Hut. It's easy to become part of the crowd every Sunday during the live chow. Click Chat on the Menu on any page of the website and follow the instructions. Hope to welcome you next week.

It is my pleasure to play your requests on the show and I am always happy to hear from you, either via email by clicking the Requests button on any page of the website or by calling our Listener Line at 206-203-4678. As you know, Treasure Island Oldies has a very extensive deep music library from which to pick the songs you hear on the show. However, I do not have access to vinyl albums or 45s to play on the show. So I have a request for you: please do not ask for album cuts or B sides that were not hits. Treasure Island Oldies features Lost Treasures, songs that were on the Top 100 charts that you may not have heard in many years. Lost Treasures does not mean album cuts, B sides or songs that are obscure and never charted. Thanks for your understanding and co-operation.

The Treasure Island Oldies Blog is playing The Association in a great live performance of their Number 1 Gold record, Cherish. It's our Song of the Week. Enjoy!

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.

Send the details to michael@treasureislandoldies.com.

Have a good week.

Bye for now.

Michael
