Review of It's One O'Clock and Here Is Mary Margaret McBride: A Radio Biography (Hardcover)

I work in Radio so I bought it out of obligation to the subject matter and boy was I surprised. I'VE READ IT FOUR TIMES. It is a fascinating story of how great radio is made and what makes a radio star. And she was a true star. Everything she did is true of every radio star I know working today--the news is, she did it first. I would give this to everyone thinking of working in radio and every young person (it will be inspiring to women in particular) who wonder what it takes to be a success in media. It takes every cell in your body. Bravo!!!!

Review of Memphis Elvis-Style (Paperback)

When I started reading books about Elvis, I began to take notes on where he'd lived, played, recorded, etc., knowing one day I'd travel there.Then I discovered this book!Mike and Cindy had done the work for me.The book is not only well written, but there are informative stories AND they tell you if a place has been demolished, or moved -- information that saved me a lot of time.After reading the book I decided that I HAD to take Mike's tour of Memphis -- it was well worth it.I had a glorious time -- Mike is a walking Elvis-encyclopedia (and fun too!).After the tour, my niece, who was traveling with me said, "well, I think we've done it all and seen it all"!And yes, thanks to Mike and Cindy, we had.
