Happy Birthday wishes go out to 99.9 The Crow in McKinney, Texas, celebrating their 1st year at The Crow and 2nd year for the station itself. Congratulations to Jim the owner and station manager. Also Happy Birthday to two great friends and show contributors, Matt Meaney and Fay Greenwood. Matt produces Fay's weekly feature on the show, Hits From Across the Pond with Fay Greenwood. If you have a birthday coming up, be sure to let me know. Send the details to birthdays@treasureislandoldies.com I'll play Birthday by The Beatles for you on the show and wish you all the best.

As a bonus, be sure to also watch a clip from the Lawrence Welk Show with Dale and Gail also performing the song.
