13th, 2013
I'd
like to take a moment to thank everyone for your very nice comments regarding
our special last week, the Music of
Canada. It was great to hear from you. Our next special will be the Technicolor Special, Live July 21st and on the Archive at the Listen page. Every song
title will have a colour or reference. For example, Rainbow, Blue Moon, Yellow Balloon, etc. If you'd like to
hear a particular song, be sure to let me know. Click the Requests button on any page of the website or give me a call on the
Listen Line at 206-339-0709.
This
week it was great to play a few more summertime classics for you, along with a
lot of other great hits from the '50s. '60s, and '70s. It's always a memory
refresher on Treasure Island Oldies!
Happy Birthday wishes go out to my son David Godin, who is now back in Vancouver after being
away for two years getting his Master's Degree in Urban Planning. Happy
birthday also to Bobbi Gutman in
Richmond, British Columbia, Gerry
Young in Toronto, Ontario, and Wayne
Harrett in Eastern Passage, Nova Scotia. If you have a birthday coming up,
I invite you to let me know so that I can wish you Happy Birthday on the
show and play Birthday by The Beatles for you. Send the details
to birthdays@treasureislandoldies.com
The
Treasure Island Oldies Blog is
spotlighting a group from Chicago,
Illinois. It's the American Breed with Bend Me Shape Me. It's our Song of the Week. Enjoy!
Voice Your Choice spotlights Jefferson Airplane, one of the key
groups from the San Francisco
music scene of the mid-sixties. Cast your vote at the Voice Your Choice page
for either Somebody To Love or White Rabbit. I wonder if it'll end up
in a tie for these two massive hit songs. We'll find out next week in the 3rd
hour of the show.
Here's the Rock And Roll News for the week of July 7th
Hope you have a great week.
Bye for now.
Michael
