May 17th to 23rd, 2020
Be
sure to join me for the Live Daily Edition of Treasure Island Oldies,
weekdays at 11 am Pacific, 1 pm Central, 2 pm Eastern, 3 pm Atlantic.
It
was great to have your company once again for the weekly show. Whether
you listen via the Treasure Island Oldies Listen page, or via one of our
Affiliate Stations that simulcast the live show, or the remaining
Broadcast Partners Network stations that air the show airs over twenty
times a week; it’s just great to have you listening. And I’m sure
impressed with the variety of countries from where you are listening,
including across Canada and the United States, and also Norway, Turkey,
Hong Kong, New Zealand, Sweden, the United Kingdom, China, the
Netherlands, and so many other places. Hello!
I
am also very much enjoying to bring you the Daily Edition of the show.
It’s a weekday one hour with some interesting themes. Since the daily
show began March 25th, I’ve played the Top 100 of the 1950s, 1960s,
1970s, and 1980s. We also explored your 45s collection by playing both
the A and B sides of some of your all time favourite records, and we
also took a virtual trip to Club International. It was fun to hear the
familiar English hits by such artists as Jay and The Americans, Connie
Francis, Gene Pitney and many others; and is was also cool to hear them
sing their hits in diverse languages as French, Spanish, Italian,
German, and Swedish. All this week on the Daily show I’m playing two
parts every day of The Motown Story. It’s a fascinating trip behind the
scenes as we hear candid interviews with the Motown Stars.
Join me all
this week at 11 am Pacific, 2 pm Eastern for The Motown Story.
Happy Birthday wishes go out to Cora Quinn in Peoria, Illinois. And my thanks to her long time great friend, California Barb, for the nice phone call wishing Cora a very Happy Birthday. 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 British group, The Foundations. Cast your vote at the Voice Your Choice page for either Baby Now That I’ve Found You or Back On My Feet Again. I’ll play the winner on next week’s show.
The Top Five Countdown this week is from 1964, and Mary Wells, another major Motown star, has the million-selling Number One Smash. My Guy is playing at the Treasure Island Oldies Blog.

Bye for now.
