This Week on Treasure Island Oldies - Week of June 1st, 2014


June 1st, 2014 to June 7th, 2014

I’d like to begin this week’s update with a shout out to Connie Canode in Madison, Wisconsin. Connie’s a long time listener and supporter of Treasure Island Oldies. She’s in the hospital with pneumonia and it’s serious enough she’s in the ICU. So Connie everyone at Treasure Island Oldies, the Nuts in the Hut and listeners around the world wish you a very speedy recovery. Get back home soon!

Lots of birthdays this week and I’m pleased to send Happy Birthday wishes to Paul Carter Jr. in Ellicott City, Maryland, Michael Gee in Berkley, California, Ray Rosenberg in Toronto, Ontario, Shana Gutman in Vancouver, British Columbia, Tom Williams in Barrie, Ontario, and to Ian Chapman in England. Ian hosted the feature Ian Chapman’s Girl Groups on the show for some time. If you have a birthday approaching, be sure to let me know so that I can wish you all the best on the show and also play Birthday by The Beatles for you. Send the details to birthdays@treasureislandoldies.com.


Keep your calendar free for our Annual Father’s Day Special, Sunday, June 15th. There’ll be four hours of great songs for and about Dad. The following week, June 22nd, it’s time to slather on the sunscreen as we hit the beach of the 18th Annual Summer Beach Party. It’ll be four hour of the sun the surf, the sand and the great Summer music! We’ll round out the month of June with the annual salute to the musicians, groups, singers, songwriters and producers when we feature the Music of Canada June 29th. That’s all coming up soon on Treasure Island Oldies.

The Treasure Island Oldies Blog is playing the late great Del Shannon in a clip from David Letterman show. Runaway is our Song of the Week. Enjoy!
