THIS WEEK'S SUPER TUESDAY CONTEST.......
It's impersonation week. And this week I'll give you all a choice. Choose one of the following to impersonate: Elvis, Harry Carry, a mime, or Tom Rand. Voicemails must 39.60 seconds or less. For those of you who are a little timid to enter SUPER TUESDAY, I dare you.
