This Week On Treasure Island Oldies


August 28th, 2011 to September 3rd, 2011

Thanks for another fun week on the show, as we progress closer to the end of summer. With that in mind, please be sure to join me for our Annual Labour Day Back To School End Of Summer Special. We'll be playing work-type, school-related and the last of the summer songs for the season. And if you'd like to hear a song on next week's show, please let me know ASAP. Just click the Requests button on any page of the website or give me a call and record your request on the 24/7 Listener Line at 206-339-0709. I look forward to hearing from you and playing your special song.

If you have a birthday coming up, be sure to let me know by sending an email to birthdays@treasureislandoldies.com. I'll wish you Happy Birthday on the show and play Birthday by The Beatles for you.

Thank you also for your emails regarding the impromptu tribute to both Jerry Leiber and Nicholas Ashford, two tremendously talented and successful songwriters, along with their respective writing partners, Mike Stoller and Valerie Simpson, respectively. Leiber and Stoller and Ashford and Simpson wrote many, many hit songs, and it was great to play some of them for you during the show.

Voice Your Choice spotlights two great School-related songs for your votes. School Is Out and School Is In, both hit songs for Gary U.S. Bonds, are waiting for you votes. Cast your vote at the Voice Your Choice page. We'll play the winning song on next week's Annual Labour Day Back To School End Of Summer Special.

More and more people I am in touch with are using their iPhone or other smartphone for more than a phone call or a text message. Many are now enjoying listening to Treasure Island Oldies wherever they happen to be at that moment. And you can too. Listen to both the Live show and the 24/7 Stream on your smartphone. Here's where to get the app. May I suggest www.wunderradio.com. They have a version for all types of smartphones, including Android and iPhone.

You can also let all your friends know you enjoy the show with your personal Treasure Island Oldies Email Signature. A selection of complimentary signatures to be placed at the end of your outgoing emails is available for download. Click Goodies on the upper menu on any page on the website. Thanks to the many folks that have downloaded their own copy of the Email Signature. That's great!

I hope you have a great week and see you next Sunday for the live show.

Bye for now.

Michael
