How Did It Feel, Leaving Graceland?

Today's questions brought back so many memories!

[@Christine-m2w]

God bless you Danny...reliving those memories especially leaving Graceland, i think i would have started crying. I don't need to tell anyone this...Elvis was bigger than life, his charisma, sexuality, looks, talent were one of a kind. When i went to Graceland, several years ago, i was blessed to go, though i do remember bawling when i got to then end, the meditation garden and looking back like Elvis where are you. He was a gift from God! ♥

[@jofox5418]

I can't imagine how hard it was to leave Graceland. But I do understand the necessity.

[@GK-ir5yp]

I always got the feeling that there were things Elvis didn't talk to anyone about after Gladys died. To me, there was a sadness deep within him while trying to make everyone else happy.

[@debbiebowman1830]

Boy he is happy today he is in heaven with Jesus and his mom and dad and so many others I bet he is singing in the angel band

[@GK-ir5yp]

@debbiebowman1830 And Lisa his beautiful daughter

[@Marr-in-Memphis]

Gosh! Teresa looks super in the mirror. That’s a fantastic blouse.

[@gpt465]

Had to be sad you you moved from Graceland😢 And to stay there without Elvis had to be too painful😢 I wonder if your Dad and Mom will ever go back. Especially Billy. Thanks for sharing❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@delladawn1149]

I went to Graceland in 2001 ❤ Don’t pay attention to the negative comments. WE ALWAYS LIVE (LOVE) ELVIS ❣️❣️

[@poussin4665]

How was Beloved ELVIS baptized ? and at what age! I have read tons of books and articles, but I have never come across this information! Thank you; Long life of health Smith family, you alone are truly the memory without ulterior motives and for profit of the greatest star who walked the Earth and lit up the firmament! Lucette from France, I have ELVIS in my heart since 1956, I was 9 years old! TCB , TLC ///

[@marlenepearson3936]

That had to be so hard to leave Graceland. It was your home. But, without Elvis there... yeah. It would never be the same. 😢 Thanks 😊 for the videos. They are great 👍 ❤

[@gracieg7601]

It hurts my heart when I see you daddy and momma talk about leaving Graceland. They both are near tears.

[@Nablusof5]

Question: Danny did Elvis ever play games or anything with u kids?

[@robertpalmer5599]

Thank you Theresa for the pugs after each video. Always look forward to it. Love your channel been an Elvis fan since 61. Grew up with mom and dad's records of Elvis. My favorite was his greatest hits with Elvis and all the gold records on the cover.❤

[@lindajones2884]

You are both a lovely couple Love listening to your stories I love ELVIS and I'm 76 and am having ELVIS S songs at my funeral when I POPmyCLOGS ❤❤❤❤ bless you both

[@elvislovesme]

Who taught Elvis how to play piano? I don't remember seeing a piano in the tiny white house in Tupelo. Elvis said in concert that he only knew how to play 3 chords on a guitar, who knew! I miss him dearly & wish he didn't have so many health problems, bless his heart! I would love to see Graceland someday, bucket list!

[@JeanKAtl]

Elvis played guitar & piano by ear.

[@user-kt4ed2yj6f]

I believe he was self taught

[@elvislovesme]

He was amazing! Thk u ladies!

[@shellec9888]

I saw an interview with one of the ministers of the church Elvis attended as a child and he said he helped Elvis on the church piano

[@shreddinjoe]

Elvis taught himself piano...he had a couple people show him guitar chords. If u watch the so called Comeback, u can plainly see Elvis was fairly well versed on guitar..the "3 chord" thing was just him joking around

[@DebraBehrens-sn4bi]

Hi Danny and Teresa! Thanks for answering my questions appreciate all your responses even if some are sad or bring up hard memories! Danny brings back Elvis to us with his thoughts and stories in true fashion! He is better than any of these movies that portray him the way they want and not necessarily the true version so it feels like we were back with Elvis especially at Graceland!!!! as always love your pugs👍💕🤗🐾🐾🐶🐶🙏👌😎

[@Nablusof5]

Thank you for answering my question about riding the horses. Love u all so much ❤❤

[@Stinky_Old_Man]

Question; Danny, what is the one myth about Elvis that you like to see set right?

[@bernerborisholland8034]

Hi, i was 6 when Elvis died. My mom was watching the news, upset and watched all his movies. So i saw them too, and became a big fan since i was around 11. Forever. I hope to visit Graceland in the near future with my husband. Longcovid keeps me from travelling. I love to hear all your stores and watch your video's. So many memories. Must have been hard to find a new way of living, without all you were used to, and loved with Elvis. Wish you all the best, greetings from Holland. 🙋‍♀️✨️

[@alainfortin7087]

Hi Danny and Teresa, Good luck Dakota!!! Love the pugs they are adorable 😊 Grace and Alain from Canada ❤❤❤

[@marthadescoteau5994]

Hello you two. Glad to see you again.Great video. Believe I understand your feelings about Graceland.

[@MaaikevanBroekhovenIBCLC]

Thank you for your stories. Will see Graceland for the first time in January. ❤ Finally!!!!!! Coming from the Netherlands you see. My mother went to Vegas in 75 with 250 fans from Europe when Elvis fell ill. She never saw him. 😢

[@johnm1414]

I wonder how long after Elvis passed you left Graceland and if Priscilla requested it?

[@richardandjuliedevalk6806]

Thank you for your stories!!! Have a great EW!!

[@sharonhayes3391]

You both are wonderful thanks for your videos they are great. .thanks❤❤❤❤

[@baronesbotervloot979]

Thank you so much for your openness🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼we love you same!!! Be safe and keep on Love Elvis🙌🫶😊

[@Frostyblu]

I would imagine when you left Graceland you must have had a hollow empty feeling. Danny, did you get to say goodbye to Lisa Marie? And, did Elvis have trained guard dogs to protect Graceland? 💜

[@debradiggs7489]

Hi Thersa and Danny ! Always great to see a new video up, I appreciate you both and Lainey! Love these stories of Elvis and your family! I appreciate you two for sharing your love of Elvis and the memories ❤ love them furbabies too!

[@lindadefontes3084]

Danny I saw your Dad an Jerry Schilling on Frankie & Johnimg movie. How many Elvis movies was your dad in please ❤

[@lucyluluforever2570]

Yes and Joe Esposito and Richard Davis were in it too. Funny how years ago I never noticed anyone else cause couldn't take my eyes off Elvis!

[@sueShannon1061]

Another great video Danny and Teresa. I love to hear stories of Elvis the man not just the entertainer. Good luck to Dakota

[@jeffyoung8726]

Hey Danny, we're at that age where we forget days... It's no big deal buddy! God bless y'all. And don't ever worry about keeping these videos coming? Y'all are good people, there will always be Elvis fans that wanna know about him. Keep happy, heathy, and overall, keep always livin' Elvis!!!! 🤟

Happy Birthday 🎉🎉

[@kathleenprice21]

My birthday is in September 5th from Louisiana love hearing you talk about Elvis

[@vickysmith7644]

I wondered about Elvis having bone cancer as well. Charlie Hodge had said Vernon told him he had bone cancer.

[@lindasimpson3001]

😂😂 I was in the tree once at Graceland! probably in the early 70's,, ,

[@locksmithsilva1163]

Thank you my birthday was on Saturday the 3rd of August.

[@terryadams1951]

I got to see Elvis" horse, Rising Sun, at Graceland in 1984/85. I know that I petted a palomino while I was there, and I am almost certain he was one and the same

[@Sharon-Carrell]

Yes it is was Rising Sun bc he was still alive that year. This first time we went to Graceland was there too and it was in late 80s or early 90s. Sorry I can’t remember the exact year but that happens when we’re getting older Lol 😆

[@terryadams1951]

@@Sharon-Carrell Same situation here when it comes to our age!! I looked it up and you were there possibly the same year that Rising Sun passed (1988)

[@Sharon-Carrell]

@@terryadams1951Oh wow! Thank you so much!

[@debidrlik2144]

I watch YOUR podcast late at night. 😂Trying to get tired enough to sleep. I always enjoy seeing the two of you and listening to your answers. ❤

[@Lakotashunkaha]

I love these vids and appreciate the honesty. I've had huge respect for Billy for being honest about Elvis while keeping real personal stuff to himself. I have nothing but good things to say about the Smith family.

[@AngelWhite-kz6un]

I absolutely love hearing your stories and life with Elvis ❤God bless ya'll 😊

[@DavidSirles]

Thank you for the birthday shout out, God bless yall

[@manlystranger4973]

QUESTION: Danny, when Elvis performed the Aloha in Hawaii concert which was broadcast live across the globe (except in the US), I think you would have been about 10 years old. Did you understand at the time that Elvis had accomplished something no one else had ever done in the history of the humanity? How did you feel about it then and now? Thanks for all the great videos!

[@annib77]

I think what you might mean and hard to put into words is Elvis WAS Graceland and when he was no longer there the home was just not the same feeling. He made it. It was him and he shared his home with you all.

[@linapagliari8003]

Ty Danny and Theresa for always sharing ur ELVIS stories with us fans love ur videos 👏🇨🇦

[@renitamcintyre1071]

Thanks again for answering all the questions.

[@janicewright6375]

It's so good of the family that yall enjoyed the fans at the gate. I've said it before most celebrities' want even make eye contact much less be glad you are asking any sort of question. Elvis was such a nice guy. I follow you guys on Facebook even though I don't like Facebook, but I have to have an account for work. Today I was bothered by some posts that people had put up that were not true and even if they had been what difference does it make now to dredge any of that up. He still has living family around. I just don't understand people. Peace and love yall.

[@nancyericson4263]

I stayed up nearly til morning after Elvis died. I listened to my little Radio Shack pocket radio, mostly Mutual Radio, for the coverage. That's when I started listening to talk radio at night, mostly listening to Larry King.

[@livewithnick]

My thinking about the bone cancer rumors is i dont believe Dr. Nick would make it up and I definitely dont think Charlie would make up that Dr. Nick told him and Vernon if it Dr. Nick didn't. It does baffle me that Elvis wouldn't have told somebody but maybe Elvis didn't know. I think Billy deserved to know one way or the other.

[@cherylbusch6236]

Hey, You Two❣️ Wonderful video-always feels like a Family get together via KZbin. Question: What color was the downstairs den before it was painted blue and yellow? What about the pool room? Did Elvis have a professional decorate those rooms or was it all his idea?

[@RalphHamdeed]

Great video as always guys

[@candybailes2044]

Wearing your initials or your boyfriends/girlfriends initials and/or monograms, were very much in style in the 1950's, 60's, and other years, they came back in style several times. ID bracelets, initial rings, cuttlinks, clothes, towels, and just about everything you owned, was in style if your initials or monogram were on it!

[@janeanderson597]

The question crossed my mind wondering if Elvis may have had the beginning signs of losing his eyesight before his passing. I also thought maybe he was possibly diagnosed with a serious case of diabetes. All, very scary and very serious.

[@nigelwilson1957]

keep up cool video long live Elvis in all our heart forever

[@Lettuce-and-Tomatoes]

*QUESTION:* Do you have any photos from inside of your family’s trailer at Graceland that you’re willing to share? I saw the photo of Lisa outside the trailer that you shared recently, but it would be awesome to see the interior if possible!

[@tygarcia3835]

Oh, we thought yall divorced! Pods and Eric out of it! Good to hear!

Lisa’s pony was called Fluffy? Not sure I understood u!!!! Love u two. God Bless u

[@helennichols6531]

I thought Lisa Marie's pony was called lucky.

[@dantaylor1724]

According to Kathy Westmoreland, Elvis told her as far back as 1970 that he had bone cancer, which is extremely odd thing to tell her if he didn't have it.

[@edjames327]

Look I love Elvis as much as anyone but he took tons of pills. He probably had excuses in his back pocket if people saw which she stayed with him. Although he did have tons of health problems in later years we know what caused Elvis’ demise and it wasn’t one specific thing

[@thall8095]

Danny did you and the other kids run around Graceland without shoes at times? Remember visiting great-grandparents farm in LA in the late 70s and a lot of the kids didn't wear shoes running all over the place and I did it as well when there.

[@aprildiaz6298]

I had a big bday July 13th. I turned 50. My question is..did Elvis have a favorite season? Like I love winter. Did he have a favorite or least favorite?

[@janekoel-schein8952]

When Elvis bought Graceland, was there a gate? Who designed the gate & hope no one ever vandalizes anything in Memphis. Sure would like to see the finished mural in Tuepelo when the artist gets finished fixing it.

[@jasonbetzoldt4942]

Love ya guy's

[@ronnieparker4311]

I totally get on not wanting to go back Graceland! I have a place I went to from 1984 to 2017 it was a Boy Scout camp ! One of our leaders when I was a kid past away in 18 ! He was there all the way through those years! I’ve never went back because! I don’t want to make new memories down there without him! I don’t won’t to see that place now !! They have turned it into a boy and Girl Scout camp! That was a place for boys and men scouts! This place was my favorite place to go! Trip to Hawaii? No I’ll choose the Davy Crockett Boy Scout camp! So no I’ll never go back ! ⚡️space ace Ron⚡️

[@bobbyhunt3009]

Another MMK video, Good Stuff QUESTION: Danny, did some of your school buddies ever spend the night with you at Graceland?? If they did I can only imagine what they felt. I reckon a lot of kids wanted to be your friend because you lived at Graceland. Take Care

Lots of emotions on this. I do understand. I have a question for y'all. do you think the autopsy papers will be released on what actually happened to Elvis on Aug 16 1977. Or will they again be closed for another 50 years?

*Question* often did Elvis use the piano in the music room? Danny, did you every play piano with elvis or did he ever try to teach you?

[@LynnPowell-tp1ye]

I was watching a video about this lady named Deborah Presley Brando claiming to be Elvis’ daughter. She wrote a book too. Have you heard about her Danny❓

[@NYCgirl927]

Good luck Dakota.

[@maryannellis4683]

Have a great Elvis week, looking good Teresa. I just love your show. I know Danny was on Shawna show, it's a good show and Rhonda does a good show to. Take care guys. Question? When did you leave Graceland and where did you move to? I know your dad went back as a tour guy and they fired him because he disagreed with some of the things they said belonged to Elvis and your dad knew it wasn't. I think it would be very hard for you guys to go back there and I don't think you should have to pay, you're family and I don't think Elvis would like that.

[@delorespetree3243]

QUESTION Danny will you be filming anything on elvis weeki hope so you and teresa have a greatrest of the week
