This Sunday I'll be airing a ONE HOUR radio special -- just after the spiritual set -- featuring tracks from the newly re-vamped "Elvis As Recorded At Madison Square Garden, 1972!"  There are plenty of fabulous quotes, interview clips and special guests who were there (as band members, fans and reviewers).

To sweeten the pot, I've got copies of this new release I'll be giving away for the next FIVE weeks!

That's correct...Elvis on your dial, maybe in your mailbox and possibly in your oven (start working on those ingredients for the sweet potato pie NOW).

TUNE/STREAM in early, you don't want to miss a cotton pickin' thang!

* Proven Winner: ELVIS' Favorite Pie *

Here's one of my favorite pie recipes for the holiday season!

It's very easy, but you'll need to bake your sweet potatoes ahead of time, as well as, leaving your butter out to soften.

Have all your ingredients ready for Sunday and you can bake along-side Elvis & SMC this week!
