July 29th, 2012 to August
4th, 2012
I
had a nice visit on the phone with Paul
at 247 Music Radio in Singapore.
His station continues to enjoy airing Treasure Island Oldies every Friday from
8 am to Noon. Imagine, the show airs in Singapore! How cool is that??!! And
it's been great hearing from listeners on our latest Broadcast Partners
Network station, Team-FM in the UK.
I even received a request for a song that I will definitely play next week on
the Annual Instrumental Gems Wordless
Wonders Special. We'll be Live
from 6 to 10 pm Pacific time, Sunday,
August 5th and on the Archives
section of the Listen Page. Be sure
to listen to this special; it's one of the shows that I receive the most requests
for as well as the most comments from listeners. And if you'd like to hear your
favourite Instrumental hit on the show, be sure to Click the Requests Button on any page of the website. Just be sure to get your requests in quickly, as it
takes a long time to prepare this special.
I
heard from Elizabeth Freund at Beautiful Day Media, the publicist for Eric Burdon. She informed me that Eric was forced to cancel his Summer European Tour. The reason is he
has a debilitating situation caused by severe back pain, which has escalated
over 3 years. Eric will undergo spine surgery, and although it is considered a
routine surgery, his doctors indicate that he will experience a reduction in
his activities during his recuperation period that can last anywhere from 3 to
6 months. We send Eric Burdon our very best wishes for a full and speedy
recovery and we look forward to his new record, 'Til Your River Runs Dry, due out next year.
Having
a birthday is one's very special day, focused on recognizing the unique
individual you are. And I'd sure like to help celebrate your birthday by wishing
you Happy Birthday on the show and
also by playing Birthday by The Beatles. Send the details of your
name, city and birthday date to birthdays@treasureislandoldies.com.
The
Treasure Island Oldies Blog is
paying tribute to Eric Burdon by playing The
Animals and House Of The Rising Sun.
It's our Song Of The Week. Enjoy!
Voice Your Choice presents a great couple of
songs for your votes for next week's Instrumental
Gems Wordless Wonders Special. We've got the Philadelphia studio band The Applejacks with two of their instrumental hits. Cast your vote at the Voice Your Choice Page for either Mexican Hat Rock or Rocka-Konga. I'll play the winning song
