Island Update Week of April 19th, 2020 on Treasure Island Oldies

April 19th to April 25th, 2020

PLEASE NOTE:

Treasure Island Oldies is LIVE Monday to Friday with a one hour show at 11 am Pacific, 1 pm Central, 2 pm Eastern, 3 pm Atlantic.

We're getting close to the end of April already; time flies every day.  And I am pleased to be able to continue to bring Treasure Island Oldies to you from my home studio, all safe and sound. Good sound, in fact. LOL I want to thank all of you for listening to both the weekly four hour show as well as the Daily Edition. The number of listeners has increased dramatically from all points of the globe. Thank you!

Please keep those emails and facebook comments coming. I've very much been enjoying your emails and facebook comments and messages, thanks very much. Please feel free to drop a note to me at daily@treasureislandoldies.com.

The Chat Room has also seen an increase of folks dropping by to say hi, both during the weekly show as well as the daily shows. Click the Chat tab to for login instructions. And not only has the traffic in the chat room increased, so too has the demand for a live stream for all shows. If your player starts to buffer, please be patient and let it rebuild the stream. I'm flattered by the extra demand, but it's putting a bit of a strain on the live stream network servers.

I'm getting set for a big event on May 3rd, as we will celebrate the 23rd Anniversary of Treasure Island Oldies. It's hard to fathom that this show has been going every week, and now also weekdays, since 1997. It would have happened with you!

If your birthday is coming up soon, I'd like to help you celebrate your birthday with all the show's listeners. 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.

Next week on Treasure Island Oldies, Voice Your Choice spotlights The Five Man Electrical Band. Cast your vote at the Voice Your Choice page for either Signs or Absolutely Right. I'll play the winner on next week's show.

The Top Five Countdown this week is from 1961. The number one song was the debut single for Del Shannon. Runaway is playing at the Treasure Island Oldies Blog.

Don't forget to listen to the Daily Show at 11 am Pacific , 2 pm Eastern and the four hour show Live next Sunday.

Take care, stay safe and stay well!

Bye for now.
Michael
