Week of October 22nd, 2017 to October 28th, 2017
I'm going to begin this week's Island Update with two words: Thank You! I can't believe the number of listeners, friends, family and colleagues who wished me Happy 65th Birthday. I had well over 135 birthday wishes, in a combination of emails, phone messages, and Facebook; absolutely amazing!
This is a scary reminder for you that this year's Halloween Spooktacular will be live next Sunday, October 29th. Be sure to join me in the crypt for the scariest, wildest, and funnest time you'll ever have alive! LOL This is the show when everyone in the Chat Room dresses up in costume with a different character name and it sure is fun trying to figure out who is really who. Whether you join the Chat Room for the live show, or just sit back and listen, this special has, over the past 20 years, become one of the most popular specials of the year. It all starts at 6 pm Pacific.
Happy Birthday wishes go out to listener Marcia Moses, and also to Sure Vercellotti in Downers Grove, Illinois, as well as to Mike Dillon in 100 Mile House, British Columbia. Do you have a birthday 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
This week's Top Five Countdown is from 1962. And the Number One song is both a classic and a great preview of next week's Halloween Spooktacular. It's Bobby "Boris" Pickett and the Crypt Kickers with The Monster Mash. It's playing at the Treasure Island Oldies Blog. Enjoy!
Next week on Treasure Island Oldies, Voice Your Choice spotlights Britain's Procol Harum. Cast your vote at the Voice Your Choice page for either Homburg or Conquistador. I'll play the winning song in two week's time, on the November 5th show.
Here's this week's Rock and Roll News Podcast.
Thanks again for listening to the show. See you next week right here on The Island for our Halloween Spooktacular!!!
Bye for now.
Michael
