Week of October 23rd - 29th, 2016
To
start this week's Island Update, I'd like to thank the over 130
friends, listeners, family and colleagues who took the time to wish me
Happy Birthday. I sure appreciate it. It was also cool to hear from
several recording artists including Mel Carter (Hold Me Thrill Me Kiss
Me), Paul Peterson (My Dad), Keith Hampshire (First Cut Is The
Deepest), and Larry Chance of The Earls (Remember Then). It's pretty
overwhelming to get so many birthday wishes. THANK YOU!
Be
sure to join me next week for the 20th annual Halloween Spooktacular.
We'll be live from the crypt next Sunday, October 30th beginning at 6
pm Pacific, 9 pm Eastern time. Aaaaaoooooooooooooooooo!
Speaking
of birthdays, it is my pleasure to wish California Barb a very Happy
Birthday this week. Barb is a long time listener and a massive music
fan; and she sure knows her music too. Happy Birthday, Barb. If your
birthday's coming up, let me know so that I can help celebrate your
special day on the show. I'll wish you Happy Birthday on the air and
also play Birthday by The Beatles for you. All I need is the date of
your birthday. Send the details to birthdays@treasureislandoldies.com.
I just heard that Bobby Vee has passed away. I will do an extensive tribute to his music in the show in two weeks.
The
Treasure Island Oldies Blog is playing the Number One Song from the
Treasure Island Oldies Top Five Countdown from 1961. It's Runaround Sue
by Dion, and it's our Song of the Week. Enjoy!
Voice
Your Choice will return to the program in two weeks, as all the regular
features are being pre-empted for next Week's Halloween Spooktacular.
In the meantime, you can cast your vote at the Voice Your Choice page for either (Down At) Papa Joe's or Southtown, U.S.A. I'll play the winner on Sunday, November 6th.
Here's this week's Rock and Roll News Podcast.
That's all for now. See you next week in the Crypt!
Have a great week.
Bye for now.
Michael
