Howdy y’all! :-) Wow
was that ever fun to play all those great all-time classic country tunes on the
Pop Goes The Country Special this
week on Treasure Island Oldies. It didn’t matter if it was the ‘50s, ‘60s’ or
the ‘70s, when a country record became huge it often “crossed over” from the
country charts to the Pop charts, and at times to other charts as well, such as
the rhythm and blues and adult contemporary charts. Now THAT is the power of great music! And I
very much appreciate that you too love great music and country music as well. I’m
so pleased with the response I have already received from this week’s show.
Several listeners indicated they thought it was actually one of the best
specials ever on the show. Thank you very much! And there will be more specials
too. Our last special show will be this year’s Annual Christmas Special. The show will be Live Sunday, December 21st and on the Archive throughout the rest of the Christmas
Holiday Season.
And get ready for 2015 when we will celebrate the 18th Anniversary of Treasure Island Oldies. More details
soon…
Best wishes and Happy Birthday
to long time listener of the show and good friend of mine and the folks in the
Chat Room, Connie Canode, in Madison, Wisconsin. In addition, I’d like to say Happy Birthday to my
nephew Andrew Gize in Gatineau, Quebec, and to J.P. Guilbert, in St. Maarten in the Caribbean.
I had the great pleasure to work with J.P. during my almost 11 years with
A&M Records. If your birthday is coming up soon, please be sure to let me
know. It would be my pleasure to wish you all the best on the show and also
play Birthday by The Beatles for you. Send the details to birthdays@treasureislandoldies.com.
The Treasure Island Oldies Blog

Before wrapping things up, I’d like to take a moment to wish all
my American friends and listeners a very Happy
Thanksgiving. Enjoy your long weekend of celebrating with your family and
friends.
Well that’s about it for this week. Take care and see you once again

Bye for now.
