November 25th to December 1st, 2018
While many places in Canada and the United States experienced their first taste of winter, here on the Island we had our first taste of Christmas music. Like a light snowfall, we had a sprinkling of Christmas tunes to get you in the mood for, as Andy Williams sang, The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year. It was great to hear Ringo Starr, Ella Fitzgerald, Brook Benton, The Belmont, Elvis Presley, Engelbert Humperdink, Bob. B. Soxx & The Blue Jeans, Bobby Curtola, and a few more throughout the four hours. For a complete list of every song played on this week's show, just go to the Listen page and scroll down to the Playlist.
Speaking of Christmas, as you are busy wrapping your Christmas gifts, I hope you can join me for my annual Christmas Special, live Sunday, December 23rd at 6 PM Pacific, with four hours of the best Christmas music of all time. This is the show I absolutely love bringing to you every year. In the meantime, more Christmas tunes coming your way every week throughout December.
If your birthday is coming up soon, please be sure to let me know in advance so that I can wish you Happy Birthday on the air and also play Birthday by The Beatles for you. Send the birthday info to birthdays@treasureislandoldies.com
This week's Top Five Countdown is from our Spotlight Year, 1967. At the top of the chart this week it's The Supremes. I Hear A Symphony, complete with a live symphony orchestra in a clip from the TV show Hullabaloo, is now playing at the Treasure Island Oldies Blog.
Next week Voice Your Choice spotlights The Supremes with two of their Christmas tunes for your votes. Cast your vote at the Voice Your Choice page for either Twinkle Twinkle Little Me or Silver Bells. I'll play the winning song on next week's show.
Listen to this week's Rock and Roll News Podcast.
Thanks again for being part of this week's show and I look forward to your company again next week.
Bye for now.
Michael
