This week on Treasure Island Oldies - Week of February 1st, 2015

February 1st, 2015 to February 7th, 2015

All week long on the show Archive we celebrate and recognize the music of Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and The Big Bopper as part of The Day The Music Died Special on the show. The house is filled with some of their great records plus interview clips, news bulletins and songs recorded in tribute. So if you missed this week’s Live show, be sure to come to the Listen page and click Archive. You’ll be able to play back the entire 4 hour show. And thanks very much for your kind comments; they are much appreciated.

Love is in the air next week for our Annual Valentine’s Day Special. If you’d like me to play a specific song on the show, be sure to let me know ASAP and also if you’d like to make a dedication to your special someone in your life. There’s two ways to get in touch. Click the Requests button on any page of the website, or call and record your message on the Listener Line at 206-339-0709. I look forward to playing your requests.

I’ll be making a random draw from the entries received for the 18th Anniversary Contest and I’ll announce the winner during the live show Sunday, February 22nd. If you have not yet entered, you could be eligible to win the poster of your choice from TNJ Poster Creations. For contest details, click the Celebrate 18 Logo on any page of the website. Enter today and Good Luck.

Don't forget, if you birthday is coming up, be sure to let me know. Send the info to birthdays@treasureislandoldies.com.  I'll wish you Happy Birthday on the show and also play Birthday by The Beatles.

The Treasure Island Oldies Bog continues our tribute to Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and The Big Bopper with one of the longest hits records to play on Top 40 Radio. It’s Don McLean and American Pie, our Song of the Week. For those of you who could make out all the words, the YouTube clip includes the lyrics. Enjoy!

Voice Your Choice returns next week and the spotlight will shine on Neil Sedaka. Cast your vote at the Voice Your Choice page for either Stairway To Heaven or Run Samson Run. I’ll play the winner during the 3rd hour of next week’s show.
