We have been having some ongoing technical issues with our Real Media LIVE feed. The Archive has not been affected, as our webmaster, Eddy Fisher, has done his magic making the Real Media Archive sound great. In the next couple of weeks we will be making a decision as to whether we cancel the LIVE Real media feed altogether. If we do, please know that there will still be an Archive of the show in Real Media. Fortunately, the Windows Media live stream is sounding great. I'll keep you informed of the progress we make and the final decision.
Happy Birthday wishes go out to Tom Locke, the creator and writer of our weekly feature, Moment In Time. Also Happy Birthday to Rich Howe in Pittsburgh,Pennsylvania. It was great hearing from his wife, Kitten, with her special request to play Spiral Staircase and More Today Than Yesterday. If you have a birthday coming up, I'd like to help celebrate it with all the Treasure Island Oldies listeners. Send the details of your birthday to mailto:birthdays@treasureislandoldies.com?subject=Birthday%20Wishes. I'll then wish you Happy Birthday on the show and also play our official birthday song for you, Birthday by The Beatles.
Be sure to join us for our next Annual Special on April 10, 2011. It's the One Hit Wonders Special, and yes again, there are enough One Hit Wonders, artists who had a big hit on the charts, but were never able to repeat that initial success. When you hear some of the songs, you'll be thinking to yourself, "How is it that they never had another hit. This song is so good!". If there is a song by an artist who only had one hit record that you'd like to hear, be sure to let me know. Click the Requests button on any page of the website, or call the 24/7 Listener Line at 206-339-0709 to record your voicemail greeting and song request. I look forward to hearing from you.
The Treasure Island Oldies Blog is playing the Flaming Ember from Detroit, Michigan. They were signed to Hot Wax Records, a label started by the songwriting team of Holland-Dozier-Holland, who defected from Motown Records to start both the Invictus and Hot Wax labels. Westbound #9 is our Song of the Week. Enjoy!
