It
was great to be together with you again this week on Treasure Island Oldies and
it was my pleasure to play your requests. Keep the coming! Click the Requests
button on any page of the website or Call
the Listener Line at 206-339-0709 and record your greeting
and request.
I
was surprised and saddened with the news of the passing of long time popular entertainer
Eydie Gorme. There are more details
at the Treasure Island Oldies Blog.
I was glad to have quite a few of her hits that I could play on the show in
tribute, and so I was able to play her signature hit Blame It On The Bossa Nova, plus You Need Hands, I Want To
Stay Here and I Can't Stop Talking
About You, both duets with her husband of almost 56 years, Steve Lawrence.
There
are more specials on the way for your enjoyment. On Live show September 1st it's
our Annual Labour Day Back To School End
Of Summer Special, and also on the Archive
all week long. The following week, September
8th I will be taking a week off for a little vacation. I have planned a
wonderful Encore Playback of a show
from February 2008 with special guest
in the studio with me, Chad Allen,
the original lead singer of The Guess
Who, including their career launching hit version of Shakin' All Over, originally recorded by the British group Johnny Kid & The Pirates. The first
hour of the show is with Chad
and he will share just a TON of memories from those early days of the group,
how they got their name, and many interesting stories. Of course, we'll be
playing lots of early songs by The Guess Who. I know you will enjoy listening
to this special encore of the show.
Happy Birthday wishes go out to Matt Meaney, my good friend in Langley, British Columbia,
and to Warren Cosford in Windsor, Ontario.
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.
This
week at the Treasure Island Oldies Blog I am pleased to feature one of my all
time favourite groups, The Moody Blues. They are amazing in concert, so here
they are performing Question, the last song of their concert at Royal Albert Hall in London. It's our Song of
the Week. Enjoy!
Next
week on the show Voice Your Choice
presents the Rock & Roll poet, Chuck
Berry. Cast your vote at the Voice Your Choice page for either Johnny B Goode or Maybelline. I'll play
the winning song in the 3rd hour of next week's show.
Here's the Rock And Roll News
for the week of August 11th
See you next week.
Bye for now.
