December
1st, 2013 to December 7th, 2013
Hard to believe we’re in the month of December already! And we eased
into the holiday season by playing several Christmas songs throughout the show
with more to come over the next two weeks and culminating with the 17th Annual Christmas Special
Live Sunday, December 22nd. I sure hope you can listen to what
has become the most popular show of the entire year. In case you aren’t able to
listen to the Live show, it will be available at the Archive page throughout
the Christmas period. My thanks to our Webmaster,
Eddy Fisher, for getting the website
all decorated for the Christmas Holidays. The decorations look great!
There were some issues with accessing the Archives over the past couple
of days; however, everything seems to be back up and running once again. A big
thanks to the technical staff at our network, NeuLion, for their hard work at resolving the problem.
Happy
Birthday wishes go out to long time listener Lennart Perrson in Gothenberg,
Sweden and to my long time friend I used to work with at A&M Records, Alan Oken in Los Angeles, California. If you have a birthday fast approaching, be sure to
let me know so that I can wish you Happy Birthday on the show and also
play Birthday by The Beatles for you. Send your birthday details
to birthdays@treasureislandoldies.com.
It was sad news to hear of the
passing of the leads singer and drummer with The Standells, Dick Dodd.
Interestingly, he was also one of the original Mousketeers on the Mickey
Mouse Club on TV in the 1950s. And in tribute to Dick Dodd, the Treasure Island Oldies Blog is playing
the signature hit for The Standells,
Dirty Water. It’s our Song of the Week. Dick Dodd, R.I.P.
We only have two more Voice Your Choice segments on the show
for 2013 and we’re continuing with the music of the Holidays with Bert Kaempfert. Cast your vote at the Voice Your Choice page for either Holiday For Bells or Jingo Jango. I’ll
play the winner in the 3rd hour of next week’s show.
Here’s the Rock And Roll News
for the week of December 1st
Listen to the Top 5 Countdown
from 1957.
Have a great week.
Bye for now.
