September
28th, 2014 to October 4th, 2014
It was great to spend four hours with you again this week on the show;
and did the four hours ever fly by quickly! And I’ve already had emails and
comments from listeners about the songs I played. Some of their favourite songs
included the Montanas and You’ve Got To Be Loved; as well as Ring Dang Doo, a rarely heard hit for Sam The Sham and The Pharaohs. I also
got response to the Made In Canada
song by Jackson Hawke, Set Me Free, their debut single. Tim Ryan of the group had such a great
voice. And I was also pleased to get great feedback on the new song by Bryan Adams. As many of you know, I
signed Bryan to a record contract when I was the head of the A&R Department
for A&M Records. His new album
is being released this week and it titled Tracks
Of My Years; it’s full of covers of songs he grew up listening to as a kid
and early teenager before he started on his own musical career. He sure did a
great job on The Beatles’ Any Time At All.
Happy
Birthday wishes go out to long time listener Ed Sanderson in Toronto,
Ontario. If your birthday is coming up soon, let me know by sending the
details to birthdays@treasureislandoldies.com.
I’ll wish you Happy Birthday on the show and also play Birthday by The Beatles
for you.
