Week of October 2 - 8, 2016
Welcome back to our first Island Update since our "hiatus" in September. We are pleased to be with our new network, Yare Media.
We are working at getting the Archives back for you, as well as having a
stream that can be accessed by some of our Broadcast Partners Network
radio stations that simulcast the show live. All good things take time
and we hope to get things 100% back to normal in due time. Thanks for
your patience.
I
must say it has been very gratifying to receive so many comments of of
encouragement and support while we were off the air. Thanks again for
your emails and Facebook comments. It's very evident to me just how much
you enjoy Treasure Island Oldies and just how much you missed hearing
the show. Well as I said, we're back!
Be
sure to join me next week as we celebrate the Fall Harvest with the
Canadian Thanksgiving Special, Sunday, October 9th, starting at 6 pm
Pacific time. There will be a fair amount of songs appropriate to the
occasion played throughout the four hours.
Now
that we're back on the air, so too are our regular features. And one
feature I very much enjoy is wishing you Happy Birthday and playing
Birthday by The Beatles for you. In order to have me send birthday
greetings out to you, I need to know when you will be celebrating your
birthday. I don't need to know your age or any other private
information, just the date of your birthday. For example, October 3rd.
That's all I need. Send the details to birthdays@treasureislandoldies.com.
Get well wishes go out to good friend and long time listener, Matt Meaney, in Langley, British Columbia. Take it easy, Matt!
The
Treasure Island Oldies Blog is playing the Number One Song from the
Treasure Island Oldies Top Five Countdown from 1965. It's The McCoys
with Hang On Sloopy. Enjoy!
Creedence
Clearwater Revival are in the Voice Your Choice spotlight. Cast you vote at the Voice Your Choice page for either Commotion or Hey Tonight.
I'll play the winner on next week's show.
Here's this week's Rock and Roll News Podcast.
That's all for this week. Be sure to join me next week for the Canadian Thanksgiving Special.
In the meantime, have a great week.
Bye for now.
Michael
