February 17th to February 23rd, 2019
Welcome to this week's Island Update. Thanks for the very nice comments you made about me streaming the Valentine's Day Special again on Valentine's Day. Also I am pleased to let you know that the Live show is now able to be enjoyed on virtually any device you have. The Yare Media player now supports iOS, Android, Windows, Mac, etc. So you can now listen to the live show on your Android Smartphone or tablet, iPhone or iPad or Mac Book, Windows desktop, etc. Big thanks to Hugh Dobbie and the team at Yare Media for this tech breakthrough for the show. More news to come soon.
The next special for you to note on your calendar is the annual Name Game Special, coming to you March 17th. Every song will have the name of a person in the song title. So if your name is Barbara, Billy, Diane, Michael, Susan or John as examples, you'll hear a song named for you. And of course, I'll start off the show with Shirley Ellis and her huge hit and the inspiration for the special, The Name Game.
Is your birthday coming up soon? I'd like to help celebrate your special day on the show. Send the details to birthdays@treasureislandoldies.com. I'll wish you Happy Birthday on the air and also play Birthday by The Beatles for you.
Voice Your Choice spotlights the amazing Ray Charles. Cast your vote at the Voice Your Choice page for either Crying Time or Don't Set Me Free. I'll play the winner in the third hour of next week's show.
This week the Top Five Countdown is from 1967, this week's Spotlight Year. The Number One song is by The Buckinghams. Kind Of A Drag is playing at the Treasure Island Oldies Blog.
Here's this week's Rock and Roll News Podcast.
Have a good week.
Bye for now.
Michael
