February 25th to March 3rd, 2018
It was great to be back with you this week. What a disappointment it was to have the on-air broadcast console go poof ten minutes into last week's show! After great tech support from the console manufacturer, we were able to buy replacement chips. Also took the opportunity to deal with some hum issues by completely re-wiring the on-air studio. I am pleased with the results. We are continuing to take steps to improve and upgrade the studio equipment and encoders and believe we are really heading in the right direction. I am appreciating the feedback, believe me.
This week on Treasure Island Oldies, we spotlighted the year 1965 throughout the show, including this week's Top Five Countdown. It was a great for great music by many artists such as The Ad Libs, James Brown, Dobie Gray, Roy Head & The Traits, Little Anthony and The Imperials, The Kinks, and so many more. It also great to pay tribute to Barbara Alston, the original lead singer of The Crystals, who passed away February 23rd at the age of 74.
It was also fun to introduce a new weekly feature, Delicious Vinyl 45. As part of the studio upgrade, we installed a turntable and every week I'll play a vinyl 45, scratches and wear at no extra charge. LOL This week I played She's Everything (I Wanted You To Be) by Ral Donner. Sure sounded delicious!
Be sure to include in your calendar our next special, the One Hit Wonders. We will be live Sunday, March 18th starting at 6 pm Pacific time. If you've not heard this annual special, you'll be surprised with just how many hits there were by artists who appeared on the charts one time only. It's both a history lesson and a fun time hearing some great music.
Happy Birthday wishes go out to Linda Russell Johnson in Missouri. Is your birthday approaching? If so, please me know by sending the date 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 1965 and the Number One song is by Gary Lewis & The Playboys. This Diamond Ring is playing at the Treasure Island Oldies Treasure Island Oldies Blog.
Next week on Treasure Island Oldies, Voice Your Choice presents the zany side of Ray Stevens. Cast your vote at the Voice Your Choice page for either Along Came Jones or The Streak. I'll play the winning song on next week's show.
Here's this week's Rock and Roll News Podcast.
Have a great week. Join me next Sunday on the Island for the next live show.
Bye for now.
