I have to say thank you Jo,Billy and Danny for giving us all of these wonderful stories about Elvis I truly love them. I’m sure he was amazing young man. ❤️

[@loribillings3810]

I feel so grateful to hear the true events in Elvis life from you two. There is so much out there that isn't true and that's so sad. I'm sure it is not always easy to bring up all the memories so bless you both for sharing. Jo you look extra beautiful in this vlog. Happy belated birthday.

[@gracieg7601]

I hear you alls birds chirping outside. Love that. It’s spring.🐥🐇🐰

[@gracieg7601]

No one likes to be jolted awake. I can’t imagine anyone being so cruel as to jolt Elvis awake. He was so beautiful, no one would want to be cruel to Elvis. Linda said she would lay awake watching him sleep cause he was so beautiful.

[@gracieg7601]

When Elvis did recordings the recording studio guys all have done videos together talking about Elvis. They all said they loved working with Elvis. They say he was a extraordinary talent and they were so impressed with the big talent Elvis was and what a nice person he was.

[@lauramuttoni130]

Thank you so much for sharing the real true about Elvis personality. I am from Uruguay and my grand mother came from Ireland and her name was Margot Smith. I love all you do for Elvis fans. Greetings

[@tinakelley7018]

I often try to imagine what it was like back when you were with Elvis. I bet you think it feels like another life time. I'm 62 and do remember the 60s. Again thank you!

[@tinakelley7018]

It is so awesome to hear true family stories about Elvis. Thanks for the stories. No you look really pretty. And Billy you are such a handsome man. Thanks

Hello to all the Dear Smith family, thank you for your lovely shout out 😊 You made my day and my husbands day too. ❤ I loved this video and all your family stories, you are such a beautiful family. I and all your fans appreciate all you do for us. Thank you Jo, Billy, Danielle and Laney so much. Grace from Canada xxx

[@teresalycoudes2998]

Your family is a breath of fresh air especially for those of us who followed Elvis. It is so nice to hear your stories, and hear you talk about all the memories and good times!

[@ramondabrady8888]

Billy Jo and Billy , such golden memories of Elvis. Been a fan since 1956. Meaning Elvis fans matter. Love you Elvis.

[@Marr-in-Memphis]

Thank you for addressing the EPE fees. You 2 are wonderful representatives for Elvis & the family.

[@rosaalexandrayanezdeazpuru6776]

Hello everyone! Happy Birthday Mr. Billy, I hope you feels better about your knee. I'd like to be there those days but I live far away in another country, I love Elvis with all my heart and I want to thank you Mr Billy and Jo for taking your time to share your memories, you know Elvis better than anyone and it's a privilege to share with you and be able to listen to your stories. God bless you both.

[@williesmall3855]

What a blessing and a life couldn't be duplicated being apart of Elvis life

[@lifedowntheroad]

Thank you so much for doing these videos!I I have to say that I have done the early morning walk up to the meditation garden and it is so peaceful, private and nice to pay my respects without a whole lot of people around. It is worth getting up early (I went to bed real early) to have that time with Elvis. I sat on a bench and just listened to the sounds of early morning Graceland.

[@juliekube8896]

As always love hearing all your stories! Absolutely love your hair Jo! I feel like you are the only truth we have to Elvis’ life.

[@gaylebardrick7725]

You both are so down to earth and because of that give such an insight into Elvis' personality too. Thank you for making these videos they are priceless 🎉 Belated birthday wishes from Kent 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@Isawapuddycat]

Thank you for sharing your memories. May God bless you both...

[@lorisutton5267]

Hi Jo and Billy, I always enjoy listening to your stories about life with Elvis, most of the stories I have read about over the years, I would sit in my local grocery store at the age of 8 or 9 reading Eve I could get my hands on, couldn't afford to buy most of them, but I did get one when I could. I grew up in Greenville Tn and I I've been an Elvis fan since I was 5 yrs old, he was my world, all my friends teased me about it, but I didn't care, they could listen to Bobby Sherman and David Cassidy, where are they now. My nickname in elementary school was Ms Elvis, I was given an award at my 6th grade graduation, from my teachers that said Ms Elvis, a little white tag with a red ribbon on it and I still have it today, I'm 61 now and I will love him forever and always, and listening to you guys, and Danny and Teresa also just lightens up my y day, so please continue. I was lucky enough to see him 3 time's in concert the first time I was only 11 years old, in Knoxville TN, the day was April 8 1972 , noon show and too this day will always be the best days of my life including the 2 in Atlanta.The day he left us was and is the worst day of my life, I was broken, just 17 at the time, I remember exactly what I was doing at that exact moment , etched in my mind forever. There will never be another Elvis, no one can ever compare to the man simply known as Elvis. I don't really have a question, just wanted to see say Thank you so much for keeping the memories alive. God bless you and your family and Happy belated birthday Billy, . Take care TCb 1935 🤺🤺🤺🤺🤺🤺⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡🙏🙏

Love to hear Joe talk about Elvis thank you Joe and Billy

[@annettegeoghegan2545]

I’m from Ireland and I love listening to your Elvis stories it’s a pleasure to hear them, keep up the good work and yous both seem like a really lovely couple, always look forward to hearing more of them 😊

[@uweschrade5246]

I really love to hear all your stories... l am living in Switzerland, never had the oportunity to see Elvis live except the Satellite Broadcast Aloha from Hawaii... and l also never was in Graceland. I am a big fan since about 73. I know all the books about him and there are good one's and some not so good one's.. but we never know exactly which "story" is really true.. so therefore l really apreciate that you speak directly to us. It is a real good idea to do this "youtube"-clips... there are so many questions around Elvis and l honestly believe that his "aura" must be so strong... time past by and so it is really important that you are keep up talking about your lives, your memories... thank you for doing this, wish you all the best, take care and keep on going...

[@paulgates1577]

What did Elvis think of That's the Way It Is, Elvis on Tour, and the Aloha Special after watching them for himself? Did that give him an "outsider's view" of why so many people liked his performances and help him to understand why people reacted to him the way they did?

[@johncoffman2703]

Another great video. I agree the cost has really gone up. Soon all the original fans that were alive to see him and enjoy his music will be gone. Life long fan but will not be visiting Graceland again in my lifetime.

[@paulacanales6862]

This has been my favorite of yours to date. Thank you both for taking time out and sharing your memories with us. It makes me think of the generosity of Elvis.

[@delorespetree3243]

Love to hear storys that are real about elvis I am glad jo and Billy had a great birthday I wish you hope your family have a blessed Easter and a great day I am with you billy wish they would come down on the prices I went in 1982 and it was low love your channel

[@patriciaaustin5441]

Thank y’all for the great stories! Mr. Billy, I love your silly sense of humor! Y’all both make me smile!

[@lesleypilling7561]

Always great to see you two lovely people and always grateful that you share your precious memories with us. Glad you finally put to bed the injury on the back of Elvis’ hand, a lot of people have asked about that following the new movie trailer where you can see the bandage on his hand when he’s wearing the dragon suit (great attention to detail by the film makers). Have a wonderful week and see you soon. Love from here in the U.K. XX

[@debsmith1956]

Great video thanks again Danielle...it's been wonderful..love you guys...

[@theresamcgrew3486]

Hi miss Jo and Billy, I just love your stories about your lives with Elvis, it still just amazes me that you were lucky enough to have been in the same family as Elvis, such heartwarming stories.Your love for him just shines through in your stories. i feel so blessed to be able to hear you talk about Elvis the family man, he was such a wonderful man, perfect, no, who is, but he was human and he made mistakes like we all do, but to me he was, and still is the best singer,, voice of an angel. I’ve loved Elvis most of my life, raised my son on his music and he is a huge fan of Elvis, his 3 children know who Elvis is too, we watch his movies quite often. I’ve often wondered,did Elvis have a favorite singer or group, and what were some of his favorite movies? I wish I could have met him, just to be around him would have been so amazing. I’ve been asked by some of my family members,”what’s so special about Elvis anyway?” If they have to ask, then they just don’t get it, I can’t explain it, it’s just something I feel in my heart I guess, not to mention, he’s the most handsome man ever! I’m sorry this turned into a very long post, just want you all to know how much I appreciate you all and everything you do for us, Elvis’s fans. Love you all!🙂💕💕 TCB

[@Sara-706]

My husband and I went to Graceland for the first time on a whim while we were visiting family in nearby MS. We didn’t look up the ticket prices beforehand since we assumed they’d be in a “normal” range for museums, etc. Wow were we surprised by the price of the most basic ticket. We still went through, but just wow…I’ll never forget that. This was 2013, but I think the prices have skyrocketed since then.

[@G36Jeff]

That’s what you decided to share 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@veep2240]

You two are just true legends 💞thank you 🙏🏻 for everything you do for Elvis fans… God bless & Happy Easter xx

[@Existentialnausea]

Linda accidentally cutting his hair that short definitely explains that haircut. I always thought.... that's an odd choice for him. Now I know! 😂😂😂

[@softyme63]

I thought he looked kinda dorky which was unusual

[@kerry378]

These stories are a treasure. Interesting how sleep disorders are now linked to poor impulse control, his downfall with his behaviors, over his heart. It's this dichotomy that is fascinating about Elvis- he was literally two sides of the same coin.

[@rustyruss2962]

Billy an Jo Linda cared about Elvis I’m leave it at that Much Love ❤️🙏❤️🙏

[@EAP-TCB]

You 2 people are really class acts.Thank you for sharing your memories of The King with us..

[@gigimoore3738]

I just get so tickled hearing ya'll speak about all of the relatives. Being from a southern family in GA, it's like listening to my relatives. Both set of my grandparents came from large families....because they needed hands to work on farms, etc. It was very common to have large families back then. However, both set of my grandparents only had one child...b/c it was around the Great Depression era. So my grandparents siblings were the only aunts (ants) & uncles that I knew. ❤ 😊

[@catfish24]

Very interesting stories . Elvis fans love these stories especially coming from someone who was there. Thanks to all of you.

[@carolrobinson2139]

Appreciate your honesty in answering these questions. I know it's the truth if you guys talk about it.

[@pbmartinfencing]

With Joey at the dojo and you guys with this channel it’s sure good to hear all the true stories from someone who actually remembers . Hope this channel blows up and this way you know you will get what money KZbin pays out 😊

[@lindasimpson3001]

Thanks for another great video! Happy Easter to you and your family!

[@1stdean0]

Great video! Nice to have a little longer video! Thanks

[@garylowery]

It must run in the family, because I'm a Jo & Billy fan and you two are so much like my family was every time I watch you two I think of a crock pot of beans, cornbread garden tomatoes onions you two make me hungry for some homemade cooking...lol love you two so much.

[@roseannprocida4426]

Hi Jo & Billy and Daniel, love all your stories, Jo you look so beautiful, love your new hairstyle. Thank you for sharing all these stories with us. Love you guys ❤️🕺🏻

[@LindaD68]

Hi y’all! Jo your hair is beautiful. Being a retired beautician of 45 yrs. I love to experiment with new hair colors. Love this shade on you, also liked the two tone blonde on your last video. Keeps Billy guessing if he’s got a new wife! LOL 😜Thank y’all for ALL that you do for us fans with your memories of Elvis! See y’all on the 14th!! 🙋‍♀️. Thanks Danielle for ALL your hard work on these videos!! 👏👏👏. Love y’all!! 🥰

[@janicerigney3472]

Great questions and answers. Always enjoy your stories,could sit and listen to you both endlessly. My dream would be to meet you both and give you a big hug, just to let you know how appreciative we are for you. Take care,stay well,much love to you both and your family.

[@jacksuiter3782]

Hey, this is jack, one of your biggest fans of your KZbin channel!! I really REALLY love ALL the stories that y'all tell!!! I am a HUGE Elvis fan and can't wait tell see your stories.. I want to ask, Did you all ever meet Ricky Stanley's girlfriend or did Elvis ever meet Ricky's girlfriend?

[@nutrianirvana6823]

Billy and Jo, You two are national treasures and I want to thank you for sharing these beautiful stories about Elvis! I love and respect you both. Have a safe, healthy and happy New Year and may God continue to bless you and your family! 🥰🥰🙏🙏💖💖🥳🥳🥂🥂

[@rubyeanes8370]

I wish I could just sit down at the Smith Family table and listen to y’all talk and tell stories. Love all your videos . Doesn’t look like I’m going to be able to come in August . Meeting you guys in person would be awesome. Sorry I’m not going to meet y’all in person. I’m sure someone will taking a video so anyone like me will be able to watch. Once again Jo. Your hair is looking fabulous. Be Well -Ruby

[@QueenCreole77]

I finally talked my husband into going. I’m a lifelong fan but he’s not. Well I went online to purchase tickets for August week and I was stunned. I couldn’t fathom that price. I live in Maine so between flights, hotel and all the events. I couldn’t 😢😢

[@delladawn1149]

ELVIS FANS MATTER ❣️❣️

[@gpt465]

This was such a good video,they all are but this one is a little bit longer which I loved!If Graceland has gone up so high I want be able to go. Elvis would not have liked that He loved his fans and those concerts was within reach of paying to go. Just don't think it should be that way!Would love to meet you all!Wish I could be there! Thanks for telling it like it happened. Always know you are telling the truth!

[@tinakent8432]

Another great video!! A couple questions: 1) when at home, did Elvis live up to the image or was he more laid back, relaxing and just enjoying being himself and being with family? 2)Billy and Jo, if you had to choose just one, what would you say is your favorite Elvis song? Although I love them all I gotta go with Hurt and/or American Trilogy. I also love to hear him sing Funny how time slips away. Thank you and enjoy your week.

[@ertagortan5367]

Billy and Jo and Danielle,I love your simplicity in your stories !! It seems to be there with you and the beloved Elvis !! 😀 ( In all YT there are 3 videos about the King that I CANNOT watch : 1- the last concert, 2- the funeral, 3- Elvis in the coffin; thei still hrt me today) Bacioni a tutti!!😘😘😘🤗🤗❤❤❤

You know guys im getting to be part of something very special in my mind and heart im being able to communicate with the ELVIS PRESLEYS real life blood kin family about ELVIS real life truths what a blessing thanks GOD for allowing me this wonderful blessings with tears of joy i am greatful MRS.JO AND MR.BILLY THANKS VERY VERY VERY MUCH I CAN SAY I GOT TO TALK ABOUT ELVIS AND LEARN ABOUT ELVIS FROM YOU GUYS WHO WERE THERE WITH ELVIS IN REAL LIFE ..

I dont know why mrs jo name came out in blue letters in my last comment maybe my cell phone or youtube does that somehow

[@cynthiacudmore7265]

Happy Birthday and thank you so much for your stories.

[@manlystranger4973]

Great video!!! We all know Elvis had a giant bed in his bedroom in Graceland. What color were his sheets and comforter or bed spread? Did he have a lot of different colored sheet sets? Were they all silk? When Elvis traveled, did the crew bring his sheets and comforter along or did he use the hotel sheets? Did he have any special demands about his bed in hotels?

[@peggyglass1478]

And we all love y’all ❤️

[@katsan2719]

I had to wake up my father the same way, very soft spoken, Elvis had beautiful hair.Danielle is really good at this.. god Bless her.. another great video... Have a Happy Easter, can't wait to see the pictures and video..xoxo

[@jeffreyjohn1691]

Thank you Billy and Jo for sharing your true stories. Very fascinating.

[@kellywallace9677]

Considering that Elvis didn’t even like the price of concert tickets being hiked, he definitely wouldn’t like his fans being charged the earth to see where he lived. I know the upkeep has to be paid for but they literally doubled the price. And considering how expensive basic living is now, I don’t think Elvis would be happy at all. And you don’t actually see the rooms, you see them from the doorway of what I can tell (could be wrong) considering fans will want to buy souvenirs as well, it does seem wrong somehow

[@annieproud4697]

I went to Graceland 2023. I visited Graceland House Inside 2 times while I was there but visited the Meditation Garden every day... You actually can see the rooms that you visit you have Good views

[@ellamoss7799]

We Love U Both Billy an Jo. We Thank U from the bottom of our hearts for UR Precious Memories. An for allowing us , (Elvis fans) to share. We didn't know him personally. But I can Promise U. ELVIS couldn't have been LOVED anymore

[@johndavis3921]

Unfortunately, when it comes to business Elvis Presley Enterprises is not Elvis. Elvis Presley Enterprises needs to base all of their business decisions on the simple question, Would Elvis Approve? I have always believed that Elvis' name and talent have always been manipulated by business people to line people's pockets with cash. If Elvis Presley Enterprises is going to use Elvis' name, they could at least re-activate the Elvis tradition of giving to charities and taking care of the poor.

[@GraceLand1977]

Great Seeing You Both⚡️TCB

Hi Billy and Jo,I have a question.What do you think Elvis' reaction would have been if he found out the Colonel was illegally in the country and that was what was preventing him touring the world.

[@kellyfindley1485]

Not what Elvis would have wanted... Elvis would let you in for free

[@roymarksberry4152]

Think how much it calls to keep it up

[@angelaneilson4364]

Thank You Billy and Jo. As always a pleasure to see your videos and sharing your Elvis memories.

You Guys be well and God Bless Arrivederci!

[@veronicacohen1110]

I just love the both of you so very much listening to you warms my heart and brings happy tears to my eyes. I wish I could be there but being I watch you I feel like I'm with you at that time. God bless you and your family and I will be watching every one of your Elvis fans matter someday when I get to Graceland for my first visit I would ring fit maybe just might meet for coffee and chit chat and laugh and have a good time together sending blessings hugs and loves always to you and your whole family

[@Rita_654]

Thanx for this video Billy and Jo❤ you are so funny, you were his friends through thick and thin. But why did Elvis not had an alarm clock? was that too loud for him? Was it difficult for you to adjust to a normal day night life after Elvis passing? Love to y'all❤
