Week of August 6th, 2017 to August 12th, 2017
It's no wonder that the Instrumental Gems Wordless Wonders Specials gets so much response every year. First off the same show is not repeated year after year, and second, it is so rare to hear an entire 4 hours of great Instrumental Hits of the '50s, '60s and '70s. I know of no other show anywhere that features instrumental hits as a special. Thanks so much for your feedback and requests. It was great to play them for you. By the way, in case you missed out on a song title or artist, be sure to go to the Listen page and scroll down. That's where you can find the playlist for the show every week. And if you'd like to hear the show again this week, just go to the Broadcast Partners Network page to find a day and time then this week's show will be re-broadcast on one of our affiliate stations.
I am very pleased to welcome another new radio station to the ever-growing list of Broadcast Partners Network affiliate radio stations. A big hello and welcome to The VIP Lounge Oldies Funhouse Radio. Based in the UK, they will simulcast the Live show Sunday nights and also replay the show every Thursday from 10 am to 2 pm Eastern time. Please visit their website at The VIP Lounge Oldies Funhouse Radio.
The Blue Suede Shoes Contest comes to Treasure Island Oldies next week, August 13th. Here's your chance to win a copy of the brand new coffee table book, Blue Suede Shoes - The Culture Of Elvis, written by Thom Gilbert, with a Foreward by Kim Novak.
This book is NOT yet available, but courtesy of the publisher, Glitterati Incorporated, I have a copy that you could win. Be sure to listen to the ENTIRE show the week of August 13th. I'll play two Elvis Presley songs per hour and all you have to do is send a list of the 8 Elvis songs in total, along with your name and mailing address to contest@treasureislandoldies.com. In order to give our Broadcast Partners Network affiliate stations the chance to air the show throughout the week, the deadline for submitting your email is 12 Midnight Pacific time, Friday, August 25th. I'll announce the winner of the contest on the Live show Sunday, August 27th.
If your birthday is coming up soon, I'd like to know so that I can help celebrate your special day by wishing you Happy Birthday on the show and also by playing Birthday by The Beatles for you. Send the info to birthdays@treasureislandoldies.com.
Our next special will be the End Of Summer, Back To School, Labour Day Special on September 3rd. You'll hear the last of the summer songs, along with songs about school and working. It's a nice set up for Fall. It will get underway at 6 pm Pacific.
This week's Top Five Countdown is from 1966. And the Number One song is Wild Thing by The Troggs and it's playing at the Treasure Island Oldies Blog. Enjoy!
Next week on Treasure Island Oldies, Voice Your Choice spotlights Buddy Know. Cast your vote at the Voice Your Choice page for either Lovey Dovey or Rock Your Little Baby To Sleep. I'll play the winning song on next week's show.
Here's this week's Rock and Roll News Podcast.
Thanks again for listening to the show. I look forward to your company next week.
Bye for now.
Michael
