July 15th to July 21st, 2018
I am enjoying presenting a different Spotlight Year every week on the show; and this week we shined the light on 1963. It was great to hear The Crystals, Major Lance, along with Jimmy Gilmer and The Fireballs, Jackie Wilson, and even a cool Lost Treasure, Surfin' Hootenanny by guitarist Al Casey. For the complete rundown of all the songs, go to the Listen page and scroll down to the Playlist.
While we are just half way into July, I wanted to remind you about our next special, the annual Instrumental Gems Wordless Wonders Special. Mark you calendar for Sunday, August 5th starting at 6 pm Pacific. You'll hear some of the biggest and most popular instruments of all time. And you have time to let me know if there is a particular one you'd like to hear. Send an email to requests@treasureislandoldies.com.
It's my pleasure to wish Tom DePaux, in Macomb, Illinois, a very Happy Birthday. Tom and his partner Darryl own WTND-LP, one of the Treasure Island Oldies Broadcast Partners Network affiliate stations, which simulcasts the live show every week with a repeat broadcast Saturday. All the best, Tom. Do you have a birthday coming up soon? Please let me know so that I can help you celebrate your special day with the Island listeners around the world. Send the date info to birthdays@treasureislandoldies.com. I'll wish you Happy Birthday on the show and also play Birthday by The Beatles for you.
