January 6th to 12th, 2019
Happy New Year to you! It was great being back with you after my week off for our annual New Year's Dance Party. And what a fun time it was playing all those great dancing records for you. The Chat Room was packed with both the regulars and also new visitors. Everyone was in great spirits and really enjoyed each other's company in the fun atmosphere. Two of the Chat Room folks were Jill and Tim. It was exactly 14 years ago that they met in the Chat Room for the very first time. They eventually met in person, as they not only lived in different cities, but also different countries. After some time they got married and this week they came for a visit to thank me and the Chat Room regulars for making them feel so welcome and supported. As I said to Jill, that's the Magic of the Island at work! Congratulations Jill and Tim and here's to many more happy and healthy years together.
I would like to advise you there is a brand new live stream; the link to it is on the Listen page. If you have a pre-set on your media player, it will no longer work as the link is comp0letely different. So just go to the Listen page and then click the link for the Yare Media player. The stream is live about 10 minutes prior to the start of the show.
Happy Birthday wishes to Shirley Ham in Cincinatti, Ohio; Tammy Maynard in Nashville, Tennessee, and Jill Brown Sykes in Cambridge, Ontario. If your birthday is coming up soon, be sure to let me know so that I can wish you all the best on the show and also play Birthday by The Beatles for you. Send the details to birthdays@treasureislandoldies.com
