It
was such a pleasure to play all that great Christmas music on this week's radio
show. I hope you enjoyed your trip down memory lane when I played the B sides
of some all-time-favourites. Judging from the response from the Chat Room, your
eyes must have lit up when you heard Papa
Noel by Brenda Lee (the B side of Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree), the great flip of Jingle Bell Rock by Bobby Helms, Captain Santa
Claus (And His Reindeer Space Patrol) and
also Gene Autry's If It Doesn't Snow On Christmas, the B
side of Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer.
So many of us had those records on either 78 rpm or 45 rpm records when we were
kids, and we listened to both sides of those records. And thanks for your
requests for this week's show. It was a pleasure to play them for you.
Don't
forget to get your Christmas Greeting
into me in time for playing it back on the 15th
Annual Christmas Special, Live
next Sunday, December 18th. Call the
24/7 Treasure
Island Oldies Listener Line at 206-339-0709 to record your greeting. I hope to hear from you.
And
be sure to set aside four hours either next Sunday, December 18th at 6 pm
Pacific time or throughout the Christmas holidays on the Archive at the Listen
page for our 15th Annual Christmas
Special. It is my most favourite show of the year and it is my annual
Christmas gift to you.
The
Treasure Island Oldies Blog is
playing the R&B Classic by The
Drifters featuring the lead vocal by Clyde
McPhatter and the bass voice of Bill
Pinkney. White Christmas, from
1954, is our Song of the Week. Enjoy!
Voice Your Choice returns on our first
show of 2012 on January 8th. Please check back right after Christmas for the
artist and songs awaiting your votes.
Just
a quick reminder to you that If you've got a birthday coming up, send the
details to me at birthdays@treasureislandoldies.com. I'll wish you Happy
Birthday on the show and play our official birthday song for you by The
Beatles, Birthday.
I really look forward to your company next week for
our 15rth Annual Christmas Special. See you then.
Have a good week.
Michael
