Great interview, I love all stories about Elvis.

Thank you for the truthful videos about Elvis Mr. Trey and Mr. Spa Guy. You can't outdo what the two of you do with... TRUE Elvis history and not leaving the facts out or ignoring the TRUTH. Safe travels Mr. Trey.

Beautiful story of early ELVIS History, from Bill Burk. Thank You, Bill. Thanks Trey, nice job 👏👏👏 9-27-22

I met Bill Burke in Gothenburg, Sweden in 1985, traveled from Norway for an Elvis exhibition.

[@dennydeckerful]

Used to talk to Bill on a Elvis newsgroup back in the late 90s early 2000s. Marty was there all the time, Charlie, Larry Gellar, a very nice lady who at the time owned Vernon 's house (she offered to let me stay there) and was Kathy Westmoreland 's manager. She also wanted to give me John Wilkinson 's phone number and said he enjoyed talking to Elvis fans, but I was a little shy and told her I wouldn't know what to say. Wished I had now. Not sure if Lamar was on there, but it was a good time.

[@debbiegibson3703]

Trey, this was a glorious story. Enjoyed it very much. Thank you and dribble on!

Thank you Trey loved this he is right about Elvis song's. I would love his books

Thank You Trey, Every Week my husband and I anxiously await for the next Tuesday when you lunge your next video and they are usually one more interesting than the other and this episode is no different incredibly interesting. Thank You! For sharing this unique story On till next Tuesday Arrivederci

[@holly_405]

“That they didn’t put in the movie…” 😂 Geez….so many incredible details were left out of that movie! So grateful to you, Spa Guy, and others who take the time to research and tell the real stories!

[@GlobetrottingWithTrey]

I appreciate it Holly… I try my best

[@norway178]

There are so many stories in Elvis's life, it would be impossible to fit into one movie. However, movies could focus on different stories. I would love to see a movie on the Elvis and June story. You can tell by the pics they were young, in love, and happy. One of my favorite stories that I wouldn't know about if it weren't for Spa Guy.

[@shirleymuhleisen683]

Fascinating 🤠Fun story! Thanks Trey!

[@sandralybrand9425]

Trey I just love how you get into the meat and bones of Elvis history! It's amazing all that Elvis did and how many people he came in contact with in his short life! He lived like 3 lifetimes in a half a life, which makes him even more amazing as a person aside from his talent! That's saying a mouthful and it's true! All these facts that you give us, helps us educate the newer fans on Elvis the man. That seems to solidify their love of Elvis as much or more than what he accomplished . Which I do recount all the things he was first in during his career,that the stars of today do.

[@connerburk7546]

Thank you for this! As Bill’s oldest grandson, I can tell you there was so much more to this man than just Elvis. A LtCol in the Air Force, pilot, writer in sports… the list goes on. My dad, Gary, used to tell me that big names would call him all hours of the day. When one of the kids answered the phone, you never knew who you would be talking to. In my young 20s, I was stupid enough to ask if EP was still alive. “Scottie, I was friends with that man for 20 years, and I can tell you without a doubt that man was in that casket and buried at Forrest Hills!” (This was before he was moved to Graceland). His passing in 2008 left a hole. So many questions I still want to ask him, so much advice I wanted to receive. The last thing he said to me was when I last spoke to him after joining the Air Force myself was, “Scottie, I’m proud of you son, and the man the Air Force will help you become”. Thank you, again, for putting this out there, not only so I can hear the man’s voice, but to learn more about the man, the myth, the legend. Tim (Scott) Burk

[@GlobetrottingWithTrey]

Tim, I appreciate this comment. You have a cool grandad and his research and interviews are very valuable to the Elvis story. I’m interested to doing more episodes on your grandfathers life in the future. Let me know if you would be interested in talking about him and I could include you in the show.

Hi Trey, Thank you for this awesome for this story. I love your Channel. Keep up the awesome work. Don't let anyone get you down. God Bless Much Love

[@kincaide67]

Wow - that was very interesting. Loved his interview, and thanx for sharing the story he wrote. It's funny that he should be afraid of flying in the early years and then buy his own airplanes to travel. But anyway - this was a treat to watch. Thanx for keeping up the great work. Looking forward to the next one. Take care.

[@norway178]

I don't remember where I read this, but if it's true, Elvis had a bad experience on a flight after recording a song. They said he never sang that song again.

Great story Trey. Do you know the true story about how Elvis met Lamar Fike I heard somehow he got in good with Elvis mother?

[@GlobetrottingWithTrey]

I’m not sure, I know he traveled out to California and became a part of the group. He was always there so I assume Elvis mom did like him

Who was it that had the welcome home Elvis show? SINATRA Who was the one that loaned Elvis planes several times including to take Elvis and Priscilla and their wedding party to Vegas for them to get married? Frank Sinatra. So Frank was no slouch. He liked Elvis and Elvis liked him. Franks daughter had a big crush on Elvis.

[@brendabooher6683]

@@gracieg7601 I had heard that his daughter really liked Elvis. When Elvis was ask about it he laugh and said that he had only met her once.

[@gracieg7601]

That’s true.that was back when he got out of the army in New York. Later on, they knew each other pretty good. Frank had a home in Palm Springs and so did Elvis. Frank and Elvis got to know each other. And Frank loaned Elvis planes several times. Also Sammy Davis Jr knew Elvis well. When Thry were all in Vegas Sammy attended parties at Elvis suite at the international hotel.
