17th, 2014 to August 23rd, 2014
It was great to have Tom Locke
join me in the studio for the first hour of this week’s show to celebrate 15 years of the Moment In Time feature on the show. Tom has researched and written
every single Moment In Time since its inception in 1999. I really enjoyed
reminiscing with Tom, playing some great songs and re-visiting some really
interesting stories. As Tom mentioned, the segment was inspired by Paul Harvey, who would be proud that
his influence spread to this show and the wonderful feature. Thank again, Tom.
Looking forward to having you back in the studio as a guest again soon. If you didn't catch the Live show, be sure to listen to the Archive.
Happy
Birthday wishes go out to my good friend and listener, Fay Greenwood, in Langley,
British Columbia. Fay and her husband, Matt
Meaney wrote and produced the Hits
From Across The Pond segment that has once again become a very enjoyable
feature on the show with the encore presentations in the 4th hour
every week. If you have a birthday coming up soon, be sure to let me know. I’d
love to wish you Happy Birthday on the show and also play The Beatles and Birthday
for you. It’s easy; send the details to birthdays@treasureislandoldies.com.
While we are still in the lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer, the time is
passing by quickly. And that brings us to the next special on the show. Join me
for the Live show, Sunday, August 31st
for the annual Labour Day, End of
Summer, Back to School Special. We’ll feature some work themed songs, the
last of the summer songs for the season and also play some great school-related
songs as well.
The Treasure Island Oldies Blog
is also celebrating the 15th Anniversary of the Tom Locke Moment In
Time on the show with a great group we played on the show. It’s the Young Rascals with their debut single, I Ain’t Gonna Eat Out My Heart Anymore,
in a live performance from the Alan King
TV show. It’s our Song of the Week.
Enjoy!
