Elvis' Uncle Travis Meets Fans and More of your Questions

[@cindyphifer970]

When I finally got to see Elvis, the tickets were very reasonable and when my Mommy and I went Graceland, it was affordable. Love your videos

[@M2ElviSMuSic]

If it is of any comfort regarding the lack of respect to Elvis in no family attending to receive the Medal of Freedom in the White House - please know I stood up in my living room and applauded, with tears running down my face during that ceremony for Elvis. I'm sure many fans all over the world did that. In heaven, I hope Elvis saw our standing ovation in his honor for that award. WE were there for him that day in the only way we could be. It would have been as meaningful to him, if not moreso, that the Jaycees Award he was presented with many years ago. Love our time together with you on these videos. Love from Washington state!❤

[@vickylong3229]

I was with you crying and screaming "where is Lisa?" I think it was because it was President Trump and he was not liked by a lot of the movie stars. So sad but I think politics were a big reason no one showed up. I did get to see it at the trophy building and I cried again. This was about the same as the "Helping Hands" award that Elvis was so proud of. Glad to hear others were in accord. Bless you

[@poussin4665]

I hope that from the top of his celestial throne, Beloved ELVIS on the 16th _ November 2018 will not have suffered too much to see that no one from his family (except the Smith family who were not invited) was there for the presentation of the Medal!!! All this, because it was D Trump! /// HE who worked to die to provide for all their needs / SHAME / TLC /

[@poussin4665]

I add that no other President before D Trump deigned to give him this medal; It's a shame for ELVIS and the USA/TLC

[@margarettaylor8107]

His family had gone Hollywood and were major league Trump haters.

[@geraldineholland6308]

I agree with you. Elvis Presley's fans all over the world were very happy about that award.

[@DebbieSchlenker-xs2xj]

Hi everyone to answer your question about the medal awarded to Elvis by President Donald Trump it is displayed at the Complex across from Graceland. We viewed it on our trip to Graceland this year. ❤

[@gpt465]

Think if possible Elvis would have been honored to pick up medal❤

[@trkubu]

Yes, I agree! Lisa should have gone to accept the award!! Elvis would have been so proud!!

[@Spike643]

Jo, you are so beautiful, then and now. Your cute giggle, no wonder Billy was attracted to you. I love the 3 of you, as you tell only the truth as what you know. Keep up the great work. Danielle, we so appreciate what you are doing for Elvis fans, getting the true scoop. Love all of you.

Read Linda Thompsons book not Lucy's book...not my phone can't afford one she let's me use her phone 🙂❤ has billy n jo though about putting a book together n t.v. movie maybe 🤔 ... you all tell the truth n you all would know what elvis would want said❤

[@jimmyneck2854]

I'm from New York 64 years old going on 65 and my grandmother saw Elvis at his one and only Madison Square Garden Show end the Nassau Coliseum! In 1992 I went on a cross-country motorcycle trip from New York to California and stop that Graceland and took a picture for my grandmother and after she passed I put it in her coffin with her

[@janm62]

You’re describing my life in the 60’s and 70’s. My husband and I had an argument over whether we would go see Elvis open in Las Vegas in August 1970 or go to Woodlstock. We went to Woodstock but we met Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix. But our best experience in life was meeting Elvis and talking with him a few times. I’ll never forget it. When he passed I thought I would die, we went to Graceland and stayed in Memphis for 3 days.

[@CapeFed]

Woodstock happened in August 1969.

[@FREEDOM-zz3si]

Jo you were very pretty when you met Billy, and you are just as pretty today! You did look like a scrapper back then. If anyone tried to go after Billy, you would have made them look like burnt toast! You are sweet as can be, but you will put people in their place if you get angry. I love hearing your stories of Elvis. Thank you. 🙂

[@jamesparham1467]

the medal of freedom is at Graceland on display thank you always enjoyed the stories

[@johnkaufman5474]

Seeing each of your videos is like visiting family members whom you look forward to seeing.

[@jofox5418]

It's disgusting that a family member wasn't asked to accept the award. Afterall, not only was it an award given by the POTUS, Trump loved Elvis personally and saw him in Vegas. I remember the hair! I actually ironed my cousin's hair because it was so curly. Great video!❤❤❤❤❤

[@Daffy-w8i]

They where fantastic pictures

[@Libby-qk9jr]

Jo, I loved the story about makeup and hair. In the late 60s I was in high school and perfected the cat's eye eyeliner. I used cake eyeliner because I never could get the liquid line straight. And I remember girls who ironed their hair because their hair was curly and they wanted to straighten it. I never did the beehive, but my mom did! Tons and tons of Aqua Net Hairspray. By the way, I love your hair now. It's absolutely beautiful.

[@1debie70fl]

I cannot picture Jo with a beehive hairdo. Show us some pics!!!!!!!!!!!!! QUESTION: Billy & Jo, what are your 2 favorite hobbies, now and then?? I'm curious to know both of Yall's 2 or 3 favorite things to do during your life with Elvis and what are your favorite things to do now days. I'm really looking forward to hearing Yall's favorite things to do as I feel like one of your family members through your videos and through Danny & Teresa's videos!!!!!! Absolutely Love to see an EFM or MMK video pop up on my notifications!!!! Take Care

[@Mary-d5x6g]

I think that many didn't like President Trump but he was born in 46 and I was born in 44 and we both were died in the wood Elvis fans. Trump was the one who made the suggestion for Elvis to be given the award. It is at Graceland in the museum. In fact Elvis is still on Trumps playlist. He showed Elvis performing "If I Can Dream" at his Rallies, I was at two Rallies where they showed Elvis on the screen. Thanks, Be Blessed

It is at Graceland. I love you Jo. You tell like it is!!!❤

[@Marr-in-Memphis]

If fans/viewers want to read genuine stories about Elvis, they should purchase the set of books by Donna Lewis, entitled “Hurry Home, Elvis.” The set is transcripts of her diaries, which she wrote as a teenager spending time at Graceland. Also Shirley Connell wrote about living in a house that shared the back fence with Graceland property in “The Man in My Backyard.” The Presidential Medal of Freedom package of awards is displayed a protected glass case in the “Elvis the Entertainer” of Elvis Presley’s Memphis. There is also lapel pin & tie clasp included in presentation box. The display case is in the center of the room. It is surrounded by his gold records & various other awards & trophies.

[@1debie70fl]

Miss my hip huggers Jo and hot pants with boots😂 Those were the days. Being comfortable is key not at my age😂

[@FREEDOM-zz3si]

Have you heard of the great baby boomers? 😂

[@sandrag.mcalister3308]

Danielle, we called it teasing the hair, we would tease or back combing as Jo said, and we would brush it out with a brush at the end of the day. I would spray mine, but not a lot. We would use teasing combs. Might be something on KZbin showing you how we did it. 😊

[@sandrag.mcalister3308]

I absolutely agree with Jo, Lisa should have picked up the award.

[@ruthjesse6759]

I love u all!,, This is Ruth Jesse from Bloomington,IL and I watch every video of EFM and Also MMK. I can’t wait to see the next new videos. Loved the pic’s Jo and and the bell bottoms,hot pants with boots, all the different hair styles and makeup, go go boots. Also liked seeing the pic of Elvis with the lady that crossed the fence. Kind of Elvis to take the time to do that, but he was young back then.

What did Elvis think of the incredible music that came out of Motown, and did he have a favorite Motown group/artist? Did he have any interesting interactions with a Motown artist?

[@choosejoy8027]

Jack Soden accepted the Freedom Award, not priscilla. It IS on display at Graceland!

[@ccat148]

Billy Stanley just mentioned the Freedom award. He teared up. Stated Billy or himself would have gladly accepted it. Then laughingly he said Elvis would have probably worn it for a year or two. He would have been so proud.

[@jessiem276]

I didn't hear anyone say that Prissy excepted it.

[@soniagardencourtreporter1173]

It's displayed in "Elvis' Memphis."

[@poussin4665]

jessiem276, PB had nothing to do with the presentation of the Medal, because since 1973, despite the fact that she is always on the "back" of ELVIS for the gain ( $$$ ) she did not have to be at this ceremony On the other hand, as I think she is not on the same side as President Trump, she may have dissuaded Lisa and her children from going there , if that ' s it / , it sucks // Just my feeling TLC / Lucette , France /

[@vickimiller6201]

They would have more customers and make as much money if not more if they lower the prices For people. That be more people come in and that would mean more money

The hair was all about Acquanette and rat. They used to rat the heck out of your hair back then and then come smooth on the top layers. That’s what I remember my aunt‘s doing that’s the way they did their hair then they were that blue eyeshadow and black eyeliner all over. It was a mess back then how they did stuff but that’s the way they did it.❤

Did Elvis visit the house he was born in when he was famous?

[@robmiller3464]

Yes, the Medal of Freedom given by President Trump was and is the responsibility of Lisa to receive. She knew way in advance of the date, so no excuses. So disrespectful of her, but honestly I have researched so much material and met her once. Never felt she was feminine, sweet and demure like her Dad would have liked. I could elaborate more on her personal life, but won’t. Billy, Jerry or as a last resort Priscilla could have received it as well. Nice of Jack Snowden to do it. Great Honor to a Great man!!

It's a story invented from start to finish in the 80s, which is now coming out to create a buzz and draw attention to those who spread it, for people looking for sensationalism / Poor ELVIS who is not here to invalidate this incredible story; Lisa Marie is the ONLY daughter of beloved ELVIS, Act to transmit to the new generations the knowledge of the genius and the grandiose work that BELOVED has left in the world, it's much better, than believing all this nonsense that is told: / TLC / Sleep in peace Great Man you deserve it so much / Sincerely, Lucette from France, angry at everything that can be said about the greatest Star who ever lived!
