This 2 part video is part 2 of 2 about The Spa Guy taking you inside and outside Vernon Presley's former home beside Graceland on Dolan Street Memphis in August 2017.. Don't forget to subscribe..
We, Elvis fans, are so blessed to have you. You take some of us places we will never get to go and I appreciate all your hard work. Also, for you to document the Elvis history like you do for future generations is such a gift. So many things would be lost and forgotten over time and I love the way you are preserving history with all your research and diligence. You are a true treasure, Mr. Stallings. Thank you.
This house was always decorated with the same color lights as Graceland at Christmas. I started going down there in 66 when I got my driver license to see the decorations. I started attending Humes in the fall of 64. You could feel Elvis in the hallways. I used to go to Graceland and park by the stone wall hoping to catch a glimpse of him but never did. The best I could do was a pretty good conversation one night with Vester who happened to be working the gate.
I just took my 17th tour through Graceland over Christmas. I can't believe I've never driven over to see Vernon's house, knowing it's been there. Glad to see it's being restored and revived. TCB
Touches my heart, fell in love with Elvis 61 yrs ago, I'm 73 now. There will never be another like him. Thanks for the ride Elvis, and thanks to you Spa Guy x
How are you my name is Mister Pedro I was a usual when I start listen to the Elvis Presley and watch his movie and pocket and to me Elvis were always be the king of rock and roll no matter what they say Elvis's number one he still number one I love his music and hope one day I become famous like he didI do have a guitar and I'm waiting for someone they can teach me how to play it because I know every song for 19 you and blue Hawaii and you are having togot to do some living got to Wunderlist let me clear the highway cuz I'm go on a Muslim day or like I will please on my hair and I got to get rolling moving along
I try to show these videos to my mom but she starts crying whenever Elvis is mentioned... She loves him so much she can't keep it together. Awhile back I watched his comeback special with her on dvd... Tears rolled down her cheeks as she smiled. The emotions this man evokes in fans like my mom is mind blowing. All these years later and his effect is unreal.
I know just how your mum feels about this Very special man Elvis Aron Presley I to love him so much how deep is the ocean that's how much Elvis is loved and more .God bless you and your mum
I am reading and watching this three years after you wrote this and I was thinking the exact same thing - Elvis really did evoke loyalty that has lasted decades...really amazing stuff!
Vernon had a sweet house, and it is every bit as historically important as Graceland as Verno. was such an iconic and intrical part of Elvis' life, career, and legacy.
Billy tightened up, bypassed the chair, and went on upstairs anyway! 😂 I would love to see that pool and hot tub brought back. Especially the pool. I hope they are able to do that.
I am always confused about the telephone . I got to know Dee a couple years before her death ' I asked her about the phone upstairs. She said it was not a link to Graceland so who knows. As you go upstairs the bedroom to the right is where Pricilla stayed.The bedroom with the mirrors was the boys room. There was a deck on the 2nd floor but it was removed. The two lions at the front door was put there by Donna Early when she was showing the house during Elvis week. I was a guest of hers and I stayed there for a week., It looks like there's been some work on it. If I ever hit it big I would purchase this and the Circle G for the fans. They both need to be loved.
Thank you-thank you-thank you!! You’re hard work & dedication is greatly appreciated! I love everything you show us-always interesting-love the journey! Please keep doing what you do & I honestly thank you from the bottom of my heart! Yay, Spa Guy-thanks Billy!
Thank you for sneaking upstairs,I have never seen it up there 😍 I was worried you were going to be caught and kicked out 🙈 Very fascinating stuff,thanks so much for this video 👍
@@brendahardin206 I'm sure she knew that! It was blocked off with a chair but I'm sure he asked if he could take a look...People aren't as stupid as you think...
This was so good!! Thankyou for going the extra mile and getting all this great coverage of, well.... everything!! I can't tell you how much I enjoy your channel. Billy, you're awesome!
I walked down to the house last year and what a thrill it was to see it in person 🤩 I was awestruck. How I wish I could go inside! It’s truly such a shame the house can’t be restored by EPE or SOMEONE! Such a big piece of the Elvis puzzle!! I’d totally pay to tour it.
You sneaky...going upstairs for us. hehe Thank you! I'm sure it looked very nice back in the day. A spa inside before there were spa tubs. There are 5 bedrooms in that home, that took me by surprise. I can see there was enough space for Vernon, Dee and the 3 boys.
absolutely loved this as I’m watching I can’t help wondering why EPE didn’t purchase the house and restore it to its former glory? This house has a part to play in elvis’es life story if only the walls could talk ! Thanks again for this fantastic insight
Thank you Spa Guy for mother great video! Through you I can see places I never would have imagined as possible before. Thanks for keeping the memory of Elvis alive in a positive way😀👍
Great videos Billy ~ Thanks for your time and effort to bring us history about Elvis that we wouldn't see or hear without your effort ~ God bless my friend
Thanks so much spa guy for taking me down this beautiful memory lane ..i'm loving all the Elvis memories and to be able to view Vernon's house is just superior (;
Hi Billy.cant thank you enough for all your hard work.really enjoyed this .we would never know all this without you.i haven’t been to Graceland yet but i will.but would never get to see all this as well.i was searching every corner.amazing.you are amazing Billy. Elvis would be so touched to see all these years later so much popularity for him. Really beautiful. Thank you so much.xx
Wow, you don’t miss a nook or cranny or historical part; very impressive Mr Spa Guy! I’m so enjoying your videos because I grew up with Elvis and of course, I love ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️Elvis! Your videos take me to places I’ve been wanting to see but cannot ever now. So thank you 🙏 for your videos of Elvis Travels because I can tag along too! 👍👍👏👏
Spa Guy you need more subs. Your dedication and knowledge of all things Elvis is priceless. I just wish the people who these buildings that have an Elvis connection would maintain and keep these houses tidy and as they were when Elvis was alive🙏🤗💝
Hi there Spa Guy. Words are not enough to thank you for all you have done for not only us but for Elvis by showing us all the wonderful videos, full of knowledge and information about him. You looked cool on the intercom being Elvis and Vernon. Got to know that Vernon had another house at the end of Dolan street(left side). Elvis used to hang out there too. Knowing you, you will find it or maybe you already know about it. All the best and take care.🕺🏻👏🏼
That was wonderful! I was at Graceland in 1999 and never made it over to see Vernon's house. Thank you so much for posting. It's time to get back for a visit! :)
@Spa Guy Hands down the best Vlogger on RU-vid if your looking for all the little pieces to the Elvis 🕺 Presley puzzle! Billy you never cease to amaze me on how you continue to snoop out whether its people or places or things! I've always considered myself a tremendous E.P. Fan but I gotta say now I'm also a BIG BILLY fan. Once again I wanna thank you for all the research and time You meticulously put into each and every one of your videos and then the time it use take to edit which I'm sure the average person doesn't even realize how much time and work goes into that aspect 0f your vlog, let alone the time I'm sure it takes away from your Family, so with that being said, I wanna Thank You again from all us S.G.F. Out there all over the world, Thank You,Thank you very much, in my best E.A.P. Voice.
Great I started laughing when you pick up the phone and started talking this was very interesting thanks for sharing Happy Birthday Elvis ❤️ We Love you and miss you 😪 so
Thank you so very much for filming & sharing this....I loved it & if course it made me sad @ the same time.😔 I did not know Vernon had divorced.Always learn something new from your videos. You're the best.
Another great video Billy! Great to see inside and the back garden, even if they are in need of TLC!! The owners of the Hickory Log restaurant bought the house after Vernon moved into Graceland following Elvis' death. The Hickory Log was opposite Graceland on EP Boulevard where the old Elvis auto museum once stood and was a favourite hang-out for fans and Elvis' entourage. Of course, the restaurant in turn was sold to the Elvis estate to make way for the Graceland Plaza.
You go places others dare not go. The intercom was great fun. Never thought we'd see inside Vernons home. It's bigger than it looks on the outside but I should imagine it was pretty claustrophobic with Vernon, Dee and the Stanley boys living there.
So cool that fans can visit the home! You find all kinds of cool things for us Billy! That's why YOU have so many fans! YOU are so cool and so Nice! That's why folks don't mind letting you in places they wouldn't let others in. Trey has the same personality, great southern gentlemen.
Thank you for so much for sharing! I have been to Memphis 7 *just recently in March and I didn't know that Vernon's house was even open the next time I go I will check it out and see if it is Keep up the good work Spa guy I love all the information you provide us. ❤️❤️❤️😊😊⚡TCB
Thanks Billy..for..this video..I bet you felt like a kid in a candy store...going upstairs..and talking on direct phone line to Graceland...you would have freaked out..if someone would have answered...at same moment..you picked up receiver!...too cute!...from the road the house looks much smaller!.. I have a question..have you met any of the Stanley's??.. I wonder why they don't give money to have property restored?.... just a thought!... thanks for all you give..to us Elvis fans..we appreciate you!!...your friend Bonnie
Once again Spa Guy you did a spectacular job And I definitely had to watch the video three and a half times because I first thought I saw a cross-eyed Elvis and then I thought well I'm probably tired and I'm not looking at it right well second and third time I saw the same thing I'm telling you he would have been pissed anyways thanks for the great work and I know you tried getting into that closet door more🎌⚔️ paintings in there Thank you once again for bringing it 🕺🕺🕺🕺 you know what it kind of reminded me of the way Jerry Lewis used to do his funny face...lol What I'm tightening it up!!!😂😅😆😹
I will say all of the paintings freak me out a little.. I don't think they are appropriate for the house as they would not have been there when Vernon owned it.. I think it needs to be back to way Vernon had it.. He needs to tighten up and restore it to it's former glory..
Spa Guy oh your honesty is becoming👍 I thought it was just me I'm super critical and sometimes I should keep my thoughts to myself but I'm glad we're on agreement truthfully the paintings probably are a reflection of how the artist looks it's just their Style I prefer more realistic portraits Rockwell was one of my favorite artists But the video was excellent like always the before the after and the current tyvm
I dont know why it took me so long to watch this video. But, I want to thank you for the Elvis history lessons. It is very much appreciated. Next time I get to Memphis, I would Love to meet you. Just to say Thank You in person.
How are you my Friend? Thanks for posting these kinds of videos. Makes me feel a little closer to achieving my dream of one day seeing Graceland and Memphis. Maybe.......you could show me around one day. I wonder what Elvis would have thought knowing he has a huge fan in South Africa
Very good Job Spa Guy. I was just in Memphis for four nights, June 23-26. Vernon's house was closed as usual. Never got to see the inside till now. I drove over to Audubon and the construction crew were over there working on the repairs from the fire.
I may be wrong but I’ve lived in mostly old houses & they’ve all had these, including the house I live in now. They are light switches. They’re supposed to have a draw string coming down to pull on. In the master bedroom they usually have one by the door as you enter (as with the rest of the rooms) & then another by the bed to turn it off/on in bed. Most old houses have had them removed completely & replaced with modern switches. They’re still quite common over here in New Zealand.
Vernon's house is actually pretty good size, especially prior to the big houses we have today. While with a bedroom hot tub and an outdoor swimming pool, it's a nice crib. Especially, too, since he could just stroll right through the back onto the Graceland grounds or walk a very short distance to get his horse out of the barn for riding. A very nice, quiet country life, which always makes me sad - as it's so peaceful there - yet both Vernon, and especially Elvis - died so young. WONDERFUL PICTURES, TOO - BILLY - AT THE END. ESPECIALLY ENJOYED THE PHOTO OF THE WIDE OPEN FIELD SHOWING THE MEDITATION GARDEN AREA. ANY IDEA WHO WAS CONTRACTED TO BUILD THE HOUSE AND FOR HOW MUCH? I've often thought of buying one of those house that is on the perimeter of the Graceland fencing like Vernon's. And I would imagine they aren't all that much. If anyone has any idea how much those homes go for, please let me know.
Never seen this vedio, loved it!!! I'm going to watch part #1. When you pretending to order a peanut butter and banana sandwich brought back memories. My mother would make my brother and I peanut butter and banana sandwiches on fresh not toasted Italian bread. They were so yummy!!! Great vedio!!
