Thane Dunn.jpgMake sure you pull those blue suede shoes out of the closet. You might want to dust off that white sequinned pant-suit too. Today's crosstalk is all about the "King of Rock and Roll" - Elvis Presley.
And Elvis will be in the CBC building....well, Elvis impersonator Thane Dunn will be here. He's a New Brunswick entertainer in St. John's with his show "Elvis on Tour."
 
What do you love about Elvis?  His music?  His style?  His legacy? Are you a fan?
