DJ Fontana & Doc Walker Yesterday, EPE hosted the Fan Club President's Event. It is a far cry from the Fan Club President's Luncheon Patsy Andersen hosted during her years at EPE. After hearing about dollar note books and stick cards coming soon to Target & the new fudge station at the crossing....an hour and a half later, we were treated to 20 GREAT minutes of a question and answer with DJ Fontana hosted by SiriusXM Elvis radio host, Doc Walker.

Dad had apparently heard a report on the radio. Unless it was “Hound Dog” or “Jailhouse Rock” playing, the radio distraction for a ...

Steve Barile presents Imelda May with his co-authored book " Elvis - Something For Everybody". Katz Deli, NYC 7-27-11. Few singers, if any, have earned the esteemed privilege of mention along side of the truly unique versatility and individuality of the exalted one...... Elvis ! Some have occasionally sparked thoughts of comparison to my mind but invariably fall short. Upon viewing a recently released dvd, I made the discovery of the latest singer to fall victim to my comparison to The King. Miss Imelda May . The opportunity to experience her live act presented itself in the way of a concert in New York City's Central Park on Thursday past. Briefly stated, her performance was nothing short of remarkable! As the alabaster tigress eagerly saunters on stage to the hard-driving strains of good ole rock and roll, one becomes immediately transfixed.
