January 21st to 27th, 2018
Hi and welcome to this week's Island Update. As I've said on many occasions, the Chat Room or as I call it "The Hut" is a great add-on companion to the live show itself. Many of the chat room regulars or as I refer to them the "Nuts in the Hut" have been listening and chatting for 18 or 19 years, along with more recent folks. It's always fun to have someone new drop by for a visit. This week Bill from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, paid us a visit, and before you knew it, it seemed like he has been a regular for a long time. Welcome Bill! You should consider stopping by yourself. During the live show, click Chat on the Menu tab and follow the easy instructions. We'd love to have your company in the Hut.
Our next special is our annual salute to the music of Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and The Big Bopper. The Day The Music Died will occupy the entire 4th hour of the show, during which you will hear some of your favourites by these artists, along with interview clips graciously provided to me by Rock and Roll Hall of Fame DJ Red Robinson, plus actual news clips and bulletins that announced the tragic news. The Day The Music Died Special will air Live Sunday, February 4th.
Happy Birthday wishes go out to Alice Bledsoe in Peoria, Illinois, Fred Waterer in St. Catharines, Ontario, Wendy McDougall in the State of South Australia, as well as my sister Louise Godin in Gatineau, Quebec. If your birthday is coming up, please 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.
The Top Five Countdown this week is from 1968 and the Number One song is by John Fred and His Playboy Band. Judy In Disguise (With Glasses) is playing at the Treasure Island Oldies Treasure Island Oldies Blog.
Next week on Treasure Island Oldies, Voice Your Choice presents the great Johnny Mathis. Cast your vote at the Voice Your Choice page for either What Will Mary Say or It's Not For Me To Say. I'll play the winning song on next week's show.
Here's this week's Rock and Roll News Podcast.
Take care and I look forward to your company again next week.
Bye for now.
Michael
