Eddie Fadal was a theater owner, disc jockey, and the sports writer for a local newspaper in Waco Texas.
His relationship with Elvis Presley began in 1956. He was a disc jockey at KRLD in Dallas,Texas, and Elvis was making the rounds. He had a lot of success in Texas, and Eddie met him at the radio station where he was promoting some records. Eddie liked his voice and thought he had great promise.
Elvis performed concerts in Waco’s Heart O’ Texas Coliseum during those years and each time visited the Fadal home before and after his concerts. At Elvis’ invitation, Eddie accompanied him on tour during those days, as a trusted friend and traveling companion.
When Elvis was drafted into the United States Army in 1958, and stationed at nearby Fort Hood, he would often get away to the Fadal home on the weekends. Sometimes, during that six-month stint, he would unexpectedly show up in the middle of the week if he could get a day off from the base, along with his relatives and friends who often accompanied him to Waco
I’m delighted to be joined by Eddie’s daughter, Janice for this episode as she shares her memories of those days when she was a little Girl and Elvis called and stayed at her home.

In this episode I cover the first of 2 recording sessions Elvis did at the Stax recording studio in Memphis.
Samples of all the songs recorded at the sessions are included along with outtakes,studio chatter and fun moments for your enjoyment.
In the Summer of 1973 Elvis endured a demanding schedule with a two-Week tour beginning in Mobile, Alabama, on June 20th, and finally ending on July 3rd in Atlanta Georgia after which he flew home to Graceland.
Awaiting him was a letter from his record company, RCA, setting out expectations in no uncertain terms.The Company was concerned at the lack of commitment their No 1 recording artist was showing them.
In a most unusual move, RCA vice president George Parkhill wrote directly to the star: "We are planning a recording session in the middle of July," he informed Elvis, at the same time demanding more control over the recording process.; he was allowed to choose the studio he wanted, as long as he showed up when RCA dictated.
Elvis’s producer Felton Jarvis was required to fill out paperwork exactly as requested, and was expected to produce a total of twenty-four masters of songs not previously recorded by Elvis. He was instructed to produce a new pop album of ten songs, new single records (four sides), and ten cuts for a new religious album.
Tired from being on the road, depressed by divorce proceedings, and expecting his daughter Lisa Marie for a month-long visit, Elvis could not have faced the prospect of a string of recording sessions with much enthusiasm
The most practical arrangement was to stay in Memphis, and Marty Lacker, his long time friend and ex Memphis Mafia member, suggested making the 10 minute drive to the Stax studio on McLemore Avenue.

In this episode I am featuring the recording sessions for Elvis’ 1975 album “Today”
It was Elvis’ 22nd and final studio album,and was recorded in RCA's Studio C, Hollywood, Los Angeles, California, March 10th–12th, 1975.
The last time he was in Studio C was March 1972, when he recorded the well known hits "Burning Love",Always On My Mind” and "Separate Ways", it also served as the rehearsal venue for the MGM documentary, Elvis on Tour.
In advance of the sessions the studio took delivery of an ivory white Yamaha baby grand piano.
This would be used to great effect on a couple of the numbers recorded during the next 3 days.
March 10th 1975 was a Monday and Elvis arrived at the studio a little after 8pm that evening with his Daughter Lisa Marie and girlfriend Sheila Ryan.
Fans caught a glimpse of Elvis playing with Lisa in the backseat of the Limo as he was driven from his home on Monovale Drive to the studio.
The band were the same musicians he used on stage in Las Vegas & on tour.
