Summer
refuses to go away here in Vancouver,
and I am NOT complaining! It sure gave me incentive to play some hot tunes for you
this week. Boy, it was great to dig up some Lost Treasures for you, including Billy Abbott And The Jewels; and what a story behind that song. His
real name was William Vaughn but did not want to get confused with Billy Vaughn the orchestra leader (Sail Along Silv'ry Moon). And The
Jewels were actually The Tymes (So Much In Love). All in all, it was
great to hear this One Hit Wonder's
song again, Groovy Baby, from 1963.
It's
been wonderful having family members visiting; cousin Debbie from Montreal, and cousin Marty from Chicago. One
of Marty's favourite songs is In The Year
2525 by Zager & Evans, which
I was happy to play for him on the show. If you have a request, please get in
touch by either clicking the Requests
button on any page of the website, or call the 24/7 Listener Line at 206-339-0709.
I'd love to hear from you and play your special song.
Happy Birthday wishes go out to long
time listener and Chat Room regular, Scott
Harmon in Phenix
City, Alabama,
in the heart of Dixie! If you have a birthday
approaching, let me know by sending the details to
birthdays@treasureislandoldies.com I'll wish you Happy Birthday on the show and play Birthday by The Beatles
for you.
