Welcome
back to Treasure Island Oldies. It was great to be back with you after the
wonderful Christmas and New Year break. I hope you enjoyed yourself and your
time with family and friends. And all the very best to you in 2012. Be well and
be happy.
And
what a great way to start off the new year than with our Annual New Year Dance Party Special!
It sure was a party atmosphere and a great chance to dance away, with four
hours of great oldies dance songs from the '50s, '60s and '70s, including some
great Lost Treasures. If you missed
hearing the Live show, be sure to listen to the Archive.
Happy Birthday wishes go out to long time listeners Judy Covington in Canton, Ohio, to Shirley Ham in Cincinnati, Ohio, and to James
Monaco in Haileybury, Ontario. Jim and I have been good
friends since we worked together at A&M
Records in the '70s and '80s. If you have a birthday coming up, be sure to
let me know. Send the details to birthday@treasureislandoldies.com. I'll wish
you Happy Birthday on the show and
then play our official birthday song by The
Beatles, Birthday.
The
Treasure Island Oldies Blog is
playing a real classic that is in keeping with out New Year Dance Party theme.
Our Song of the Week is Mashed Potato Time by Dee Dee Sharp. Enjoy!
Voice Your Choice presents the
transplanted rocker from Arkansas who has made
Canada
home for longer now than he ever lived in his home country. Ronnie Hawkins not only discovered and
developed talent, and had them in his band including The Band, he was also a successful recording artist with several
hits. This week we spotlight two of them: Forty
Days and Mary Lou. Which Ronnie Hawkins song would you like to
hear? Cast your vote at the Voice Your Choice page. We'll play the winner in the 3rd hour of next week's show.
I'm pleased to tell you the
number of new friends on facebook continues week after week. I invite you to
follow me on Facebook.
And
be sure to stop by and visit the Treasure Island
Oldies Store. It's filled with great Island Souvenirs and all priced right. Check it out. Shop The Island and get some swag for yourself.
Have
a great week and see you next Sunday for the next live show.
Bye
for now.
Michael
