October
2nd, 2011 to October 8th, 2011
I'd
like to wish all my fellow Canadians living in Canada and around the world a very Happy
Thanksgiving. I hope you celebrate this Autumn Festival with your family and
friends. And here's to a great Fall Season with you here on Treasure Island
Oldies. And I hope you enjoy this week's Annual Canadian Thanksgiving Special.
I'm
in the middle of reading a very interesting book that was recently to me, Where
Have All The Pop Stars Gone? Volume 1 by Marti Smiley Childs and Jeff March.
The authors feature firsthand accounts of The Association, Herman's Hermits, The
Kingston Trio, Chris Montez, The Spiral Staircase, Bobby Vee, and The Zombies.
It is all current with several interviews haven taken place in early 2011. I
must say I have learned quite a few new tidbits about the members of The
Association; what happened to the members of Herman's Hermits. It was
fascinating to read just how hugely successful The Kingston Trio were in their
prime - four albums simultaneously in the Top Ten! If you are curious about
these artists, be sure to get a copy of it for yourself. Here is a link to thepublisher's website for more information.
Happy
Birthday wishes go out to Russ Horton from our Broadcast Partner Network
station, D-Moos.com in Halton Hills,
Ontario. We're pleased to be
heard on D-Moos.com twice a week - Sundays from 6 to 10 am and Monday evenings
from 6 to 10 pm. 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.
Speaking of The Association, the Treasure Island
Oldies Blog is playing this great California group in a now classic live
performance on the Smothers Brothers Comedy
Hour TV show. There's a very entertaining introduction to their performance
of Along Comes Mary. It's our Song of the Week. Enjoy!
Voice Your Choice presents the pride of Montreal, Andy Kim, a
great talent and successful recording artist I am proud to know and call a
