LONG LIVE THE KING!
South Carolina Radio Station Goes "All Elvis" to Celebrate Elvis' Birthday
Loris, SC, January 7, 2008 - Elvis Presley was born in Tupelo, Mississippi on January 8, 1935. He would be 73 tomorrow, (January 8) had he lived. AM 1240 WLSC in Loris, SC will suspend normal programming to pay tribute to the undisputed "King of Rock & Roll" starting at midnight tonight.
"It will be non-stop Elvis all day long.", says station manager, Banana Jack Murphy. WLSC will be featuring all of Elvis' big hits as well as some of his more obscure recordings. Murphy adds, "Elvis sang rock, country, gospel, blues. He recorded so many songs that we could be here for days playing all of his recordings." As Banana Jack was doing research for this event, he discovered that Elvis recorded more than 700 songs.
This latest tribute to Elvis Presley should come as no surprise to those listeners that are familiar with Banana Jack's on air antics. Murphy introduced Leon Frazier," The World's Worst Elvis Impersonator" to his radio audience in 1989. Leon Frazier delighted audiences every morning on the ongoing radio feature, Elvis Weather. "I am almost certain that Leon Frazier will be making an appearance. If not, I'll be wearing the white jump suit tomorrow." says Murphy.
Listeners can hear the "All Elvis Tribute" on AM 1240 WLSC starting at 12:00 Midnight (tonight) and continuing until 7:00 PM (January 8). The station will also broadcast it's "All Elvis Tribute" online at WLSCRadio.com for Elvis fans around the world.
WLSC AM 1240 and WLSCRadio.com are owned and operated by Banana Jack Murphy Productions LLC, which was formed in 2007 by broadcast personality Banana Jack and his wife Barb Krumm. WLSC broadcasts from downtown Loris, SC and features country, bluegrass and gospel music plus local and regional sports and entertainment programming. Banana Jack Murphy Productions LLC is also producing the soon to be syndicated radio program, Bluegrass on the Corner.
