October 6th,
2013 to October 12th, 2013
Although
the fall is a lovely time of year for all the dazzling fall colours on the leaves,
it's also getting darker earlier. Well we'll plow through autumn and winter
together with some hot and bright tunes. And there were lots of great songs on
this week's show including your requests, thanks. Not sure you remember, but
you can check out every songs played on the show each week by going to the Listen page and scroll down for the
latest show Playlist. And next
week's Playlist will have lots of songs as part of our Annual Canadian Thanksgiving Special Live next Sunday, October 13
beginning at 6 pm Pacific. I look
forward to having you join my on the Island
next week.
As
you know, every now and then I'll play something new by an artist. Most of the
time it is what I refer to as a heritage artist. Recent examples include that
latest singles from Paul McCartney, New, and Elton John, Home Again.
On this week's show I just felt compelled to share a new artist with you whose
album has captivated my attention since I first heard it last week. His name is
Blake Morgan and the album is Diamonds In The Dark. In my opinion he is
a tremendously talented songwriter, singer, musician (he played every
instrument on the album with the exception of the drums) and he also produced
it. I was pleased to let you hear the first two songs from the album, Water Water Everywhere and I Can Hear You Say. It is not often that
I rant about a new album; this is one time for sure! You can hear snippets of
the entire album at iTunes. As I said to his publicist, if this were another
time, Blake Morgan would be a household name. Check it out for yourself.
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
playing a song that was featured on this week's Tom Locke Moment In Time. It's the Ray Bryant Combo with DJ
Eddie Morrison making the calls. The video clip is an instructional video
on how to do The Madison, featuring swing and dance specialists Jennifer Comar and Paolo Pasta Lanna. Check out The
Madison Time. It's our Song of the Week.
Voice Your Choice spotlights Harry Nilsson with two of his biggest
hits. Cast your vote at the Voice Your Choice page for either Without You or Coconut. I'll play the winner in the 3rd hour of next week's show.
It'll be interesting to see if his strident ballad or rocking novelty song
wins.
Here's the Rock And Roll News

Hope
you have a good week and see you next
week for the Canadian Thanksgiving
Special.
Bye
