June 28th, 2015 to July 6th, 2015
Now
that’s what I call a party! The sun, the surf, the sand and the Annual
Treasure Island Oldies Summer Beach Party. It just feels like summer
when you hear all those great summer songs. The Tiki Hut aka Chat Room
had a great crowd, all in the mood for a party on the beach. Even the
seagulls were having a good time flying overhead during the show! And
the waves and ocean breeze were a perfect blend to cool things off a
little. In case you missed hearing Martha and the Vandellas, Otis
Redding, the Beach Boys, Elton John, Chad and Jeremy, and a ton more,
you can enjoy the Archive of the Summer Beach Party at the Listen page.
Remember, wear your sunscreen!A quick reminder for your calendar. Next week is another in the series of 18 Specials in celebration of our 18th Anniversary. Join me for the Music of Canada Special, when I’ll feature the artists, groups and songwriters who wrote, performed and produced some great records, some of which became hits across Canada and around the world. It all begins at 6 pm Pacific time. If there’s a specific song you’d like me to play, be sure to let me know. Click on the Requests button or call the Listener Line to record your request message at 206-339-0709. I’ve already heard from some listeners with their requests and I’m looking forward to playing them on the show next week.
