April 5th to April 11th, 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. I hope you had a good weekend enjoying the Great Indoors! Fortunately with having a complete radio studio at my home, I am able to continue to bring you Treasure Island Oldies, both the weekly and daily show Monday to Friday. The daily show is a bit different from the regular show in that when I started on March 25th, I decided to bring you 4 Decades, 400 Hits of the 1950s, 1960s, 1970, and 1980s. We've completed the '50s and so far are in the upper thirties of the '60s Top 100. If you'd like a bit of company during the day, please listen to the daily show.
My deep appreciation goes out to the Broadcast Partners Network Affiliate Stations that carry my show weekly, and some of whom are now airing the daily show. A big shout out to these wonderful community radio stations: WTND-LP, Macomb, Illinois; QCCR-FM, Liverpool, Nova Scotia; Oldies 105.7, Thousand Oaks, California; KWQQ Double Q 106.3 FM in Farmington, Iowa; and KDSX The Eagle, Ector, Texas. They are interrupting their regular program schedule to bring the daily show to their listeners. Please spend some time listening to these wonderful stations. I know you will hear things you'll not come across elsewhere. And I sure appreciate all their support. Let's show them a little support back by listening and sending them a note to let them know. Speaking of notes, I'd love to hear from you while you're cooped up at home. Drop a note to me at daily@treasureislandoldies.com.
The Chat Room has also seen a great 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 log in instructions.
I'd like to take a moment to wish Jill and Tim Sykes in Cambridge, Ontario, two Treasure Island Oldies listeners and friends, a very Happy 7th Anniversary. The chat room may not be a matchmaking app, but 15 years ago they didn't know each other, but did meet in the chat room. They eventually met in person, made somewhat complicated by the fact Jill was in the United States and Tim was in Ontario. And they sure connected. So again, Happy 7th Wedding Anniversary, Jill and Tim. Amazing what Treasure Island Oldies can do for your life! LOL
Be sure to listen next week for the annual One Hit Wonders Special. Some folks call it the "I can't believe they only ever had one hit special". Every song you'll hear will be by an artist or group that reached the Top 100 chart once, but never again. It's a fun playlist of really well known songs but the common link is they all only had one hit.
Happy Birthday wishes go out this week to Trudy Avants in Sedalia, Missouri. Thanks for listening to the show Trudy. 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 features the instrumental duo, Ferrante and Teicher. They had several hits during the 60s and 70s and I've got two of them for your votes. Cast your vote at the Voice Your Choice page for either Midnight Cowboy or Exodus. I'll play the winner on next week's show.
The Top Five Countdown is from 1962. The number one song is by an actress and singer that we came to know on the Donna Reed Show. Shelley Fabares' Johnny Angel 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.
