Did Elvis Join the Masons? 

I wanted to say thank you to Billy and Jo Smith for sharing your Elvis memories with us all. It can’t be easy to discuss / relive especially since Elvis was kin. Also, a special thank-you to Danielle Smith-Rowe for putting the huge amount of time it takes to produce these great video and audio clips for us all. Great job Danielle and your effort is appreciated

Yep, "he gave so much." That was this incredible man in a nutshell. Thank you to the Smith family for answering people's questions. They are truly the nicest folk.

The World needed Elvis for the next 25 years.

How blessed you were to spend your life with such an amazing human being! You both are amazing also!! Love you guys!!! Thanks!! ❤

I love how you guys interact with each other. Hope you know how much each and every video you share with us is so appreciated. Danielle also deserves praise for all she does too. She's a beautiful young lady. Sending love and hugs to y'all.

Danielle you're really good at wording the questions that people ask. I'm sure you get all kinds of questions and you're good at condensing them. You do a good job

I've personally known the Elvis Presley family for many years and his legacy continues through his grandchildren.

You guys are the best. i'm watching and laughing out loud. Elvis would've been so glad that you keep his true memory alive.

Elvis was an a incredible human being, I am so thankful you all have shared so much with us, thank you 😊❤

Elvis sure did have a sense of humor, l think that Elvis's fellow actors may have been just a tiny bit jealous of him,after all he was and is the most gorgeous entertainer and actor of all time!

Billy you and Jo are terrific! I love learning more about Elvis. I found oud through genealogy that he's my 7th cousin. You have no idea how proud it makes me feel to know that. I can't learn about him enough!! Bless you so much for sharing him with us fans. Billy, I have a feeling Elvis loved you far more than any of the guys. You were like his little brother. Especially since he took you to the governor's party.

awesome.God bless everyone.

I LOVE Y'ALL and am so sad I am unable to be at EW. LONG LIVE ELVIS!!!

I really enjoy all your stories. I was only 14 when Elvis passed away and I remember exactly where I was when I found out that he had passed. I still miss him even though it's been as long as it has been. Keep the stories coming. Love you guys!!

Lord have mercy billy.too funny.😂

What a life it must have been ,living with Elvis in the 50s 60s and 70s

Billy and Jo ,ya'll are so precious how you interacting with each other ! Love it .I know this is probably so bittersweet to relive these great memories . Thank Ya'll

Sam Bell, a childhood friend of Elvis, stated that Elvis sang "I'll Fly Away" as a young child.

There will never ever be another Elvis Presley. He was was always afraid his fans would forget him, but he is more popular today then he was when he left the building in 1977. You can still feel the charisma through his videos today.i still listen to his music often.would Billy and Jo still live behind Graceland if he was alive today?

Thank you so much for sharing your memories of the greatest entertainer in our lifetime! I'm sure it's not easy for you since his life was cut short so suddenly. By the way Billy, thanks for telling us you joined the Masons. My Dad was a 50 year member, inactive for several of those years, but proud to receive his 50 year award. Love watching you talk about your cousin!

Billy you make me laugh, you're just beautiful, and love jo humor, ❤️

Thank you Billy, Jo and Danielle for the video. The whole population should be respectful and appreciative of our Service Men and Women no matter if they serve our Country or our Community as Elvis was very respectful of them. As parents of two Police Officers Sons and also you Billy and Jo "we" are proud of them! And appreciate the People that respect them. We love your videos. Arrivederci!

I’m with you Jo, horrible with names but good with faces. I’ve watched the three of you for a long time and appreciate all that you share. How do I submit a question. If it’s here then I’d like to know if Elvis got more nervous for interviews than live shows or was he as relaxed as he seemed. Billy, you are too funny!😂

Wow!! Fascinating presentation you all touch base on alot of interesting subjects!! Mr Billy looking on at edge of stage & dancing girls antics was hilariously funny!! Thank you very much for always sharing EFM 👑🎁💖🌈

Good morning guy’s it always makes my day listening about Elvis things he did. Elvis sounds like he was a really caring and loving young man. I do enjoy watching you and Danny thank you ❤

Wow, Danielle looks a lot like Gladys and Lisa Marie!

Ya'll are awesome people God bless Ya'll ..William Richards from dequincy ,Louisiana

Great job on the video Danielle! Elvis was lucky to have Jo and Billy in his life! Thank you both for sharing your memories.

Black Hair and Side Burns Was The Thing Back Then....Love Me Some Elvis...

Very Good episode today! You two share so much of your lives with Elvis, it’s very kind of you! I love the way that you guys talk about Elvis like he was just everyone else! Thank You so much for your time!

Hello Danielle jo and billy Ty so much for always sharing great Elvis stories with us fans we love EFM🇨🇦😁❤️

Great session...😊 Look fwd to it every week. Thanks for sharing your Memories & answering Fans queries. I think Elvis valued his Privacy, like most of us do. He wouldnt be pleased with some of the Stuff thats been spoken about him. In the Doco "All the Kings Men" some of the Memphis Mafia revealed really personal stuff they didnt need to reveal to the fans & public! Even Priscilla in her book, I was shocked she revealed things that were between husband & wife, some of the details would have been hurtful to Lisa Marie. You "dont" reveal that stuff. Sure Elvis was human, made mistakes but you dont have to reveal Certain things that should be "kept" Private, in confidence... I'd feel Betrayed big time, if a trusted friend or partner revealed that personal stuff. I saw interview a few years back & Lisa Marie expressed her great Anger & why she wanted nothing to do with some of the Memphis Mafia because of what they revealed about her Father. They Besmirched his character.... I understand now why she felt that way after seeing some of those documentaries. I thought they were going to sit round talking about good positive memories but I was so disappointed in most of it. I think Billy was there in parts but he seemed very" uncomfortable "with some of what was said about his Cousin, he quiet/reserved. I felt sorry for him listening to them say awful things! Anyway glad you guys keep it Positive & even though there may have been hard times, you still keep it dignified & respectful to his Memory!👍🙂

Memories ❤ are cherished 😊

Thank you all for the video! My Dad was Mason ! You guys I sure enjoy every video! Love to all

Hi Billy, This was the first I heard you were a mason. I am also a mason at Saint Tammany Lodge in Hampton, Virginia. I am sure Elvis would have enjoyed the masons. He would have been a great Worshipful Master. Hope the weather there was cooler last week there than here. Working outside for a federal contractor on a military base in 109 heat index was very rough on my 67 year old body. Please, take care there, and thank y’all for sharing with all of us.

Also thanks for the storys from yall the family that lived it and know what really went on. Keep them coming !!!😅😅

Its great to see an original memphis mafia member and cousin sctual family of elvis .thank you

Love hearing the elvis stories get them coming Great channel

Thanks for a great video have a great week

I've gone back watching all the videos and I found out the names of Billy and Jo's horses. Thnkx Danielle TCB FOR LIFE

Billy, your hilarious 😂! Keep em coming!❤🇦🇺

Hello to all the Smith family, great video! ❤ Mrs. Jo, my Momma told me the same thing, wait until you have breakfast before you tell me your dreams 😊 Wishing you cooler weather and stay safe. Grace and Alain from Canada ❤ ❤❤

Thank you Billy, Jo and Danielle for the video. I really enjoyed the questions and answers. ♥♥♥

Was the magic show with tiger Siegfried and Roy maybe? Loved seeing you all today! God bless the Smith family ❤

I love your videos!

Great video! 🧡

I look forward to these video's. Thank you Danielle, Billy and Jo. I can tell Billy and E were very close. Keep them coming please. Love you all ❤❤

Love y’all, and your stories about Elvis.

Thank you all today for sharing your thoughts an memories of your lives an Elvis life with his fans. ❤

Thank you so much for all the great memories, we love y’all

You all make me laugh! I love your stories. I had a few questions. Was Gladys and Vernon working at the time Elvis was working as an electrician, and if so what were their jobs? Did Elvis really know or spend any time with his grandfather? When you moved to Memphis, do you know what the first job's your dad and Vernon got? Thx guys!

Y’all sure were full of yourselves tonight! 🤣😂🤣😂. HILARIOUS and Very informative too! Let’s do more late nights!! LOL. 🙋‍♀️. Jo, my momma always said the same thing about bad dreams, “don’t tell them until after you eat your breakfast!” LOL. I never figured out why but always told my kids the same thing! 🤷‍♀️. Love passing down family traditions even if they are crazy! Love y’all and already got our bags packed for the Meet & Greet! Yaaayyyy!! TCB ⚡️🕺🏻 👑.

Billy and Jo, y'all seem so nice and fun. I really enjoy your videos and they are like therapy for me. Thank You So Much for making them. See, I was 8 years old when Elvis passed away. My mom knew I Loved him and after school that day she told me the news knowing I was gonna be upset. I cried all night and she comforted me. Just wanted to tell you my story of it and to let you two know how much you are appreciated. Billy, I have a question, I heard on another Elvis podcast that after Elvis married Priscilla he went to see Ann Margaret in Vegas and went into her dressing room and confessed his unconditional love for her and then he asked her to get back with him. They said in the video that you were with him and heard and saw the whole ordeal. She was married at the time also. Please let me know did that happen and is there any truth to that story? Thank Y'all again

Your videos are great ... keep them coming! Danielle ... my daughter was afraid of KISS as well ... lol lol

Great video as always. Im sure as difficult as it could be worki g for Elvis it was just as wo derful doing so. He was an amazing man. Love him till eternity

QUESTION: How competitive was the Memphis Mafia in trying to get close to Elvis? They were his friends but also his employees. We always hear that there was a "pecking order." You know, everyone was "jockeying" for position. For example, who was going to sit next to Elvis or who was going to go somewhere with Elvis. Were they a just a group of "yes men." For example, if Elvis laughed, they would laugh, even if it wasn't funny. Or, were they free to give their honest opinion if they liked or didn't like something? Make sense? I'm not sure how welll I worded this. Thank you.

Hi Billy and Jo...did Elvis like Merle Haggard music?...thanks yall

Billy, I just saw a video where a note is shown that was supposedly found by Joe Esposito August 16. It was supposedly written by Elvis and found near him that sad day. It looked like the note started, Dear Billy. Since you are one of the only 3 people I believe when it comes to Elvis, I am wondering if there is any truth about that note. I saved the name of the person who has that video on here if you decide to see it if you want. Thank You.

After hugging him (of course) what is the first thing you’d like to say to him in paradise?

GR8 story's thanks Billy 😎👍🏻

Are you aware of, or have you read, the recent researched book Destined To Die Young (2021), by Sally Hoedel an investigative journalist? She was concerned that Elvis wasn’t being remembered properly especially for his prescription drug use. Billy is quoted in it.

I can see why elvis loved having Billy around 😂

I love your channel and MMK. I wish I could meet you guys.

Y'all are always great! Thanks for Elvis Fans Matter ❤ 🤍🌟☺️

I've been over writing my heart out on the MMK page and here this episode comes up! Like Cash sang, Sunday Morning Coming Down, but with y'all its Sunday Morning Coming Up! Y'all are a treat in this tasteless world! I come from 4 generations of Masons, and 2 who were also Shriners. I've never "had time" to explore this world, maybe one day I will. Who knows? I've got to start ordering stuff signed for the walls here. Y'all deserve a place in every Elvis Fan's home! MANY THANKS and MUCH APPRECIATION ALWAYS! Let us know how we can get these items ordered (if you know how to get orders done on the MMK side, let me know). Respect and Love to All! 😀✌️🤟

Billy and Jo,I really enjoy these videos! Question: Did Elvis want to spend his time with you all a lot? Did he like being alone after his performances? Great job Danielle enjoyed this one so much 😂❤

I never knew elvis raised funds for pearl harbor Memorial. I live in the big island but I heard he had been here if I remember right to shoot a portion of a movie. I was curious if he was on kona side or hilo side. I live hilo side. I have a friend (who is also a utuber) who LOVES herself some elvis she has what she calls her shelvis's where she keeps all her elvis stuff proudly presented! My fav elvis song by far is all shook up. U guys were what my husband called his best friends his inner circle.

What are the biggest moments in y’all’s life that you said “Elvis would have loved this!”

Billy l heard that Anita had passed away a few weeks ago’! Good you verify this for us ! l thought she was such a lovely and gracious lady, it’s such a shame loosing all our friends from yesteryear but that’s life ‘ l really appreciate y’all you are so kind to devote your time and memories of EP to the fan’s Blessings to you all 🙏💜❤️🙏💜🌺🇺🇸🙏

Billy what year did you start working for Elvis?

Elvis had such an eye for color. Priscilla talks about Elvis liking her with black hair and he was so right! He paid attention too details. That probably is why he was the best at what he did!What an ear he had for music! He was unique!Nobody came close to him!!Thank you all so much for sharing your memories about him❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

That’s so strange, up here in Canada when I was a child in the 1980s, we only had channels 3,5 and 13 as well

Love your family chats xxx

Great video again. Can't believe I'll be meeting you in two weeks. I've been to arizona memorial and it was the most moving war memorial ever.I didn't know then that Elvis had donated and often think now if that made it even more touching.

QUESTION: What was it like going from living at Graceland and traveling the country and experiencing a luxurious lifestyle before Elvis died, to living a more traditional life away from Graceland after he died? You guys are awesome!

Hello. Question. If Elvis stayed in his room a lot in the final years, when did he see, played etc with Lisa?

Ok,Lisa backed the Elvis film,but why when it was clearly bad?Was it for money?Did she get paid for the film somehow?She was in financial difficulties as we now know so did she just go along with it because she desperately needed any monies she got from the film do you think?Also Priscilla was a massive part of the Elvis movie,and it was bad and she got paid,her new film is coming I expect that to be bad and just another money making episode for her,is she helping?Is she just making money off of him because that is all she has to earn money,as otherwise her life has been difficult,the Netflix agent Elvis thing hasn’t worked out because they made it too nasty I think,does she have Elvis’s best interests at heart now or her bank account??Also when are we ever going to have the real story of Elvis made,including all the good and the bad that went on,and all the people that were involved???The guy is a one off legend,yet I feel his life has never properly been put out,incredibly disappointing that,unless you study so much information about him and the people who were around him you don’t know the man,I admire the people around him more now than I have ever done in the past,I would like to say to the main members of the Memphis Mafia who are still here and the ones who are not,and to Jo and Linda,thank you from the bottom of my heart for keeping him alive for as long as you did,I don’t think anyone will ever know the joy,hard work and pain the whole thing took out of you all ❤️🙏

Thank you Billy, Jo and Danielle for all your videos, we’ve got a lot of chance you’re still with us ❤❤ I would like to know if Elvis did surgery : nose, etc... And if you have read the book "Elvis and me" written by Priscilla, what do you think of it, and did she always tell the truth ? I hope you will answer to my questions 💕

Oooh so so funny. I really enjoyed this 😂

ELVIS FANS MATTER ❣️❣️

Love their stories

Hi. How were Elvis’ jumpsuits cleaned after a concert?

I just left a question and hit accidentally hit send. I wanted to add that Danielle, you also seem so nice and fun and you are a wonderful addition to the videos. Don't you ever stop doing these videos as I get a thrill everytime I look at my phone and Y'all have put out another video. I also wanted to tell Billy that Him, Lamar, and Sonny were my favorite Memphis Mafia members. Guess who my favorite has always been, well you guessed it, it has always been Billy Smith. You just seem so Sincere and can have fun at the same time, Very Cool trait, Y'all Take Care PS: Danielle if you don't ask my question on air I will still Love you the same, LOL TCB FOR LIFE

CIAO FAMIGLIA SMITH!!!🤗🤗🤗🤩🤩🤩😘😘.WW ELVIS!!

That’s how I am Jo, I don’t forget a face. Usually if I could see a face I can remember the name. But I have a hard time if I can’t see the face.

Did Elvis ever watch any of his movies. Love from uk

👏👏👏👏👏🦅⚡🦅😎👍

I enjoyed this, It was really funny!

Question that i have not heard mentioned before or maybe i missed this on Elvis .Elvis was the tough guy in the movies but can evil really look after himself in a street fight situation without red sonny west there to protect him has Elvis been in a fight situation that the fans don't know about if so what was the out come. And thanks Billy jo for answering our questions

what size was the trailer that Joe and Billy lived in,what ultimately happened to the trailer after they moved out and are there still any of the trailers at Graceland today? I was at Graceland in the mid 80's and although i was around 10 it seems like there was at least one on the property then. We met Uncle Vester there and my dad talked to him for about a half hour.I also think Billy was there then.

Great show

Was wandering did Elvis ever go vote during presidential polls?

What a interesting video

❤

Thanks Elvis family! Love you! You gave great memories of our dear Elvis! Want to ask you a question. I read from Shirley Dieu´s notes he liked to listen to Ann Murray and Freddy Fender!!! Do you recall thic? Greetings and blessings from Peru!

If you had to do it all again, would you have done anything different? If you could talk to Elvis one last time what would you say to him?

I am curious if Billy still works for the railroad. If so, where does he get the energy. I ask because I am still working at almost 70, and it is hard at this age.
