Memphis Means Music! It’s M3 week, and to celebrate Elvis Radio hosts a special guest DJ hour with Sid Selvidge and Jeremy Stanfill. Sid started playing guitar because of Elvis. He says he always tried to sound like Elvis. He has an international name in the folk community and new record out on the Archer label. Jeremy is one of the rising stars in Memphis Music. He says he remembers Elvis as a child and sees a lot of similarities between them, especially that Elvis didn’t want to just be one style of music, he loved all music. (1 hr)
Soundtrack Saturday Night: Frankie & Johnny
Sat 10/23 10:00 pm ET
If you’re like us, and can’t remember whether Frankie is the girl or the guy, here’s the easy way to know: Ellie Mae Clampett (Donna Douglas) played the role of Frankie, short for Francine. That means Elvis played the part of Johnny. Bill Rock promises to play the extended version of the title song. (2 hrs)
