April
20th, 2014 to April 26th, 2014
Happy Easter, Happy Passover, Happy Vaisakhi, Happy Spring! I hope you
are enjoying the beginning of Spring where you live. All the flowers and trees
are in bloom in Vancouver here on the West Coast and it sure is beautiful. It’s
a great time of the year. And it was a great time again this week on Treasure
Island Oldies. It was fun to recognize Record
Store Day, as vinyl is now “in”. As I mentioned on the show, I saw an ad on
TV the other day for Grand Marnier Liqueur that showed an upscale party going
on and the glue that held the event together was the music playing from vinyl
on the turntable. Very cool. And I really enjoyed digging out a vinyl record
from the 1950s that was an in-store demonstration record for a line of budget
records by Coronet Records. I played
two ads each hour and the feedback from the chat room was ‘where can I get an
orthophonic album for $1.49!’ What good fun. I’ve had that record since I was a
kid and finally found a way to incorporate it into the show; and what a great
fit it was for Record Store Day.
I’d like to remind you to be sure to join me for the 17th Anniversary of Treasure Island
Oldies, coming up Live, Sunday, May
4th from 6 to 10 pm,
Pacific. If you’d like to call the Listener
Line at 206-339-0709 to record
you Anniversary greeting, that would be great. Alternatively, you can also
email a note to me at michael@treasureislandoldies.com. I’ll do my best to play
back as many of your messages and notes as I possibly can during the show.
If you have a birthday coming up soon, please be sure to let me know. I’d
love to wish you Happy Birthday on the show on behalf of all the listeners
around the world and play Birthday by
The Beatles for you as well. Send
the details to birthdays@treasureislandoldies.com.
