August
31st, 2014 to September 6th, 2014
This week’s show is like having three specials in one! It’s the annual Labour Day Back To School End Of Summer
Special this week on Treasure Island Oldies. And I’d like to thank you for
your email and Listener Line Requests once again this week. It was cool to play a
real Lost Treasure from Steve Lawrence, Can’t Wait For Summer; and this week’s Rock and Roll Relic, School
Bus by Kris Jensen, was a great
fit with the special. Thanks very much.
Last week on the show I featured songs from the brand new CD, Long Lost Hits And Rarities by the
Montreal group, The Sceptres. I was
pleased to be able to give away five copies of the album which will be
autographed by all surviving members of the group. Here are the winners: Barb Frazier in Norwalk, California; Matt Meaney
in Langley, British Columbia; Chris Witmer in Iowa City, Iowa; Rick Canode
in Madison, Wisconsin; and Paul Carter Jr. in Ellicott City, Maryland. Congratulations! It’s fantastic at the
diverse cities where listeners live and yet they all come to The Island.
Happy
Birthday wishes go out this week to Cindy
Williams in Vancouver, British
Columbia and Connie “Kitten” Howe
in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. And if
your own birthday is coming up, be sure to let me know. Send the details to birthdays@treasureislandoldies.com
and I’ll wish you Happy Birthday on the air and also play The Beatles and Birthday
for you.
The Treasure Island Oldies Blog
is playing Bobby Rydell with Swingin’ School. It’s our Song of the Week. Enjoy!
Next week on Treasure Island Oldies, Voice Your Choice presents two great Motown Stars, Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell. Cast your vote at the Voice Your Choice page for either Your Precious Love or Ain’t Nothing Like The Real Thing. I’ll play the winner next week on the show
during the 3rd hour.

Bye for now.
