January
5th, 2014 to January 11th, 2014
Welcome to 2014 and the first show of the year, our Annual New Year Dance Party. In case you missed the Live show, be
sure to listen to the Archive. It
was great hearing from listeners via the Listener
Line at 206-339-0709 as well as via email. I love the holidays, Christmas
in particular, and New Year’s, but in a way it’s good and satisfying getting
back into our regular routines once again. I look forward to a great year with
you sharing the amazing music that shaped our lives and memories.
On a sad note, I was surprised and sad when the news hit of the passing
of Phil Everly of the Everly Brothers. What an influence on
pop, rock & roll, folk and country music they had. I was honoured to pay
tribute to Phil by playing some of their all-time classic songs and I thank you
for your contributions with song suggestions. Unfortunately time doesn’t permit
to play every song requested, but I do my best.
I’d like to say Happy Birthday
and extend best wishes to Shirley Ham in Cincinnati,
Ohio. She’d a frequent visitor to the Chat Room and one of the Nuts in the
Hut. If you have a birthday coming up in the near future, be sure to let me
know by sending the details to birthdays@treasureislandoldies.com.
I look forward to wishing you Happy Birthday on the show and to playing Birthday by The Beatles for you.
The Treasure Island Oldies Blog
is paying tribute to Phil Everly
with a live TV performance of the Everly
Brothers singing All I Have To Do Is
Dream and Cathy’s Clown. They
sure were no studio concoction; they played and sang LIVE. Phil Everly R.I.P.

Bye for now.
