  • WDAM Radio's History of Elvis Presley
    Listeners Guide To WDAM Radio’s History of Elvis Presley This is the most comprehensive collection ever assembled of Elvis Presley’s “charted” hit singles, including the original versions of songs he covered, as well as other artists’ hit covers of songs first recorded by Elvis plus songs parodying, saluting, or just mentioning Elvis! More than a decade in the making and an ongoing work-in-progress for the coming decades, this collection includes many WDAM Radio exclusives – songs you likely will not find anywhere else on this planet. Some of these, such as the original version of Muss I Denn (later recorded by Elvis as Wooden Heart) and Liebestraum No. 3 later recorded by Elvis as Today, Tomorrow And Forever) were provided by academicians, scholars, and collectors from cylinders or 78s known to be the only copies in the world. Once they heard about this WDAM Radio project, they graciously donated dubs for this archive – with the caveat that they would never be duplicated for commercial use and restricted only to musicologists and scholarly purposes. This collection is divided into four parts: (1) All of Elvis Presley’s charted U S singles hits in chronological order – (2) All of Elvis Presley’s charted U S and U K singles, the original versions of these songs by other artists, and hit versions by other artists of songs that Elvis Presley recorded first or had a cover hit – in chronological order, along with relevant parody/answer tunes – (3) Songs parodying, saluting, or just mentioning Elvis Presley – mostly, but not all in chronological order – and (4) X-rated or “adult-themed” songs parodying, saluting, or just mentioning Elvis Presley.

  • All Shook up Playbill
    Pinnacle Creative Arts March 26- 28, 2021 Director’s Notes Where to begin? First, this show has been in the works for almost two years now. We first started talking in 2019, and season schedule changes put it off until spring of 2020; then COVID pushed the show back until now. We started rehearsals in November then theaters and performing spaces shut down again and many cast members needed to quarantine due to exposures from school or work. We decided to take a two-week rehearsal break to allow everyone to finish their quarantine and assess the possibilities of continuing on. During that time we were able to find this performing venue and work with Evelyn Holbrook and Andrew Cupo to ensure the show could go on. I want to thank First Southern Baptist Church of Paradise Valley. They have been our rehearsal home for MANY weeks. They provided us a LARGE room where we could spread out. Even more importantly it had THREE doors to the outside we could open and lots of fans. This level of ventilation is an important factor in our protocols and we just lucked out to have that available. But a director’s note is really to share the ideas behind the show so let’s get on with it. The star of this show is the music. Those incredible songs made famous by Elvis, arranged beautifully for musical theater performers. William Sawyer spent hours with our actors working every harmony and rhythm because these beautiful arrangements are not easy. All Shook Up! at its base is a jukebox musical (a musical that features hit songs of a popular music group or genre).
