March
22nd, 2015 to March 28th, 2015
I always enjoy letting you know about a new album from what I refer to
as our “Heritage” artists, and I am so pleased to let you know that Ringo Starr will release a brand new
album, Postcards From Paradise, On
March 31st. And I was glad to play the title song on the show. What’s
so cool about this new song from Ringo are the number of references in the
lyrics to songs written or recorded by The
Beatles and Ringo as a solo artist. I counted 25 tunes mentioned! Very
cool. If you missed hearing the Live show, be sure to go to the Listen page and click Archives. You’ll
be able to hear Postcards From Paradise during the 2nd hour of the
show. I’m also going to play it at the Treasure
Island Oldies Blog. Postcards From Paradise
is our Song of the Week. Enjoy!
Congratulations to Paul Carter,
Jr. in Ellicott City, Maryland, the March
winner of the Treasure Island Oldies 18th
Anniversary Contest. He chose as his prize, courtesy of TNJ Poster
Creations, the Treasure Island Oldies Tribute Poster, created by TNJ Poster Creations. More winners to

Happy Birthday, in fact Happy 65th
Birthday wishes go out to Tom Locke,
my good friend and creator of our weekly Moment
In Time feature. Tom’s turning 65 and had a great celebration at a fun
dinner and show club, The Giggle Dam, in
Port Coquitlam, BC which I was
so pleased to attend. What a fun night with great entertainment and delicious
food. All the best to you Tom! If your birthday is coming up, be sure to let me
know so that I celebrate your special day with you on the show. Send the
details to birthdays@treasureislandoldies.com
