Wow that place is beautiful. I love old I'd rather buy an old house and restore it as to have a new updated one. I was born in the wrong era. I wish I had grown up back in the Elvis young era. Although I love the later days Elvus also❤️ your so in depth with your description of places and things it makes me feel like I'm there in the moment the times of when Elvis was living life and thank you for that. I'd imagine that if I had been around and was able to meet ELVIS back in the day I would have been speechless when meeting him ❤️. And you can rest assured that if I lived close to Gracelane I'd of been there standing at that gate every day gazeing up at the mansion waiting for Elvis to come outside and ride his golf cart or get in his Cadillac with his beautiful girlfriends and zoom away for some fun . Ahhh I need to get back to reality and say thank you for all that you do to make these videos and show them to us I'm gonna haft to buy me a Spa Guy t shirt . Are the shirts true to size? And are they pre shrunk? That way if I buy a T shirt or two I feel like I'm contributing something to you and not just watching for free🙃 any who have a blessed day Mr. Spa Guy 🌈🌸🌈🌸🌈🌸

Fantastic! Its nice to see that the place has not been completely renovated beyond recognition. I read in Alan Fortas' book that the units had kitchens in them and that he and Joe would go into Elvis' room and cook him breakfast. They would start arguing that someone was cooking the bacon wrong and Elvis would wake up and say to them, "you sound like to old women arguing in the kitchen." Also, there was an episode of American Pickers were a guy from Florida was a teen and hitched a ride with Alan after this filming. He ended up in Hollywood as a stuntman. He eventually received Alan's red Elvis jacket. Frank bought it for $600.00(FYI if you get some notices of likes on old videos, I've been going back and watching a lot of them. One of my all time favorites was the "Sun, Ed Leak, My Happiness" video ) Tighten Up and TCB

Great again spa guy very informative video, seems like a lovely place again great job looking forward to the next one.

[@juliestanding316]

I love it because you always look proper deep into things really showing us..and do cheeky things like touch things you shouldn't and go in places you shouldn't.. I would be the same I'd wanting to touch things I thought Elvis might have touched..thanks for doing what ya doing

[@jmf2471]

Julie, I would do the same thing! Went to Graceland and had to touch the banister of the staircase and door knobs because I knew at one time, Elvis must have touched them.

[@bethgillikin3691]

Elvis never lost his since of who he was or was better than anyone. Also had a compassionate side and loved every living human being. We will never have another. Be safe y'all thanks for part 2 gold 🌟 Spa Guy. Keep um coming y'all we are all in this together.

Hey Billy I loved this one! I live on a horse farm that has some woods and a pond. The sounds of the frogs and the crickets are wonderful to listen to relaxing outside. When we ride in the evening and I am just letting my horse just walk along it’s so relaxing for us both, Peace my friend✌️⚡️ Ps your EP history rocks!✌️

Elvis Presley Follow That Dream Movie Filming Locations Florida love the film follow that dream

[@natserog]

[@plmillerda]

I wish I had known this information about Elvis and his movie location back when I was visiting my mother in Delray Beach for 25 years.. Delray and Boca were my second home for 25 years I know exactly where you are in the video. I love Florida .. the aroma of the salty Ocean breeze is very sexy.

[@clifffor1179]

Forensic examination of the location and matched up perfectly with the photos. Only Spa Guy would see where the staircase and mushroom was. I couldn't believe the reflection in the photo you picked out and matched up. Amazing work and I love the ariel shots from the Glory. Thanks loving these Follow That Dream videos.

[@jansorensen]

Thanks for sharing Billy. Great informative video.

Another great film and lovely to hear a "Come with" again from you Spa Guy LOL. I always loved the blue sky, and the natural light in FTD and to see those similar blue skies in 2020 in HD is a real treat. Looks so relaxing there. Great attemtion to detail as always, lovely filming. Mike, UK.

Great historical investigation!

[@annkeville8355]

Thanks so much watch your channel Richard ann UK please keep your self save

[@keiththompson4536]

I 've haven't ever commented on your video's. I just wanted to say you you are something else, Taking time out of your life to research and follow up on all things E.P., using The Glory gives us folks out here alot of video pic history that we probably would not have seen. I won't drag this out, Thanks to you and A.D. and all you do. Be Safe!

[@caseymanuel7199]

Mr Stallings thank you so much you don’t even know how much your videos are saving my sanity with all the kids home... I just had to break up another verbal fight over someone touching someone’s stuff... lord help us parents lol

Love that you figured out the island in the reflection. So absurdent....but that's why you do what you do Mr history buff. Lol

[@stephenmilburn7622]

This is the place and time Tom Petty got to meet Elvis when he was around 10 years old. Tom Petty's uncle was working as some kind of crew member on the movie.

[@SpaGuy]

Nope wasn't here.. That will come up in this Series later..

[@stephenmilburn7622]

@@SpaGuy I'm sorry, I didn't mean that it was at the motel. I should have said Petty had met Elvis in the town where Follow That Dream was filmed. A pretty cool story about what Elvis looked like and different he was from anything else

[@mrDCunningham]

I guarentold you that. Haha I am going to use that one. This is a really cool series 👍🏻😎

[@elvispresleyrecords7285]

Oh, my god It looks like it is still a nice place even after over 50 years I could hear the frogs the hotel is looks nice! Thank you for this video I remember the hotel in all those scenes from the movie

[@chrisrose5740]

Awesome!!!

[@epfanatic8170]

Great video Billy! My fav part was when you complained about the people playing their music like everyone wants to hear it. That's one of my pet peeves too! 😅😅

Thank you for sharing you are so kind you are the best at what you are doing I have to say you are a spy guy. Better than Columbo. Love love love your vids. You do put lots of hard work into. All of them your fans love you TCB

[@russellwhite6682]

Hello my friend I hope you and your family are all safe and if you see Dick Grobb family pass my regards so sad to hear of his passing. Loved the video my friend it's weird though that Elvis always stayed in these motels im not sure but did he stay in many 5 star hotels,I appreciate what you do in these trouble times to entertain us all take care stay safe my friend thanks russ

[@christophertyler3425]

Fabulous, fabulous work as always!!!

[@babycaycejm8720]

You know what would be fun? It would be fun for 85 year old Elvis to be in one of these videos. Elvis is Elvis at 25 or at 105 !

[@jackiejohnson8609]

Great video and history. 👍

[@lindaboudreaux1416]

Back in 2003 or 2004 went to Florida in search of the location to Follow that Dream. Found the spot where they built their house. That was at Bird Creek at Pumpkin Island. Just going back through your video's for more locations and points of interests. Before we go to Memphis for Elvis Week 2021 I'm taking a side trip see Port Paradise Hotel at Crystal River.I was told by an employee when I called that a Marriott is going up sometime in the future. Then I want to see the building that Elvis donated to the boys ranch. So I'm taking notes from your video's and hope everything goes as planned. Hope to see you in Memphis. Thank you for what you do for the Elvis fans.

[@Sam-cg6rv]

You really do wonderful vlogs.

[@Rita_654]

Great video Spa Guy, happy new Year to you and your family and hope you keep on making great video's ❤

[@bobc.5698]

I wonder if that little boy at 15:33 is Tom Petty? He told a story of his Dad bringing him to meet Elvis during the filming of FTD.

[@Nadeshiroo]

Bob C. Maybe he can find out. That would be nice.

[@valeriefelitto6336]

Trust the spa guy to get to the bottom of things

[@hallsjuju2400]

Elvis probably loved this place. I don’t think he was really a 5 star type maybe even though his career demanded it. Really like your videos. A lot of details. Thank you

[@AlA-ok5jh]

Billy in the past watched some vids by a chap who just does Florida vids. He did one on Elvis in Florida so he may have covered some info you may not know about. Think he could learn from your series on the subject is my guess. Off hand do not know his name. Interesting how Elvis had such dreams.....wanted to be an actor....wanted to be a singer.... Any movie or song he would sing fans will be are and have been interested in.

[@graziabellisario414]

Traduzione in Italiano! Grazie.

[@JW-xn3gk]

Hi Billy, thanks for a great video. I appreciate the value you place on accuracy in the historical accounting of Elvis' life. Do you accept email from subscribers with questions? Your a very busy man I'm sure!

[@wyattmccann7693]

Great videos Spa Guy. If you ever get the chance you should do the King Creole filming locations in New Orleans. His favorite movie that he ever did and the best too in my opinion.

[@SpaGuy]

I have already filmed most of it but plan a return trip to finish this year..

[@wyattmccann7693]

Spa Guy That’s awesome, I’ll really look forward to that! Thanks for making all this great content, you do a great job.

[@lisavaden9903]

Spa Guy, you're very good at detail. Question, when you first started saying "Tighten Up" were you referring to the saying in Tennessee about our Tennessee Titans?? #titanup
