Great tour Billy! Thanks for taking us along. The people who actually knew or interacted with Elvis are sadly becoming fewer and fewer.

[@mikeivey7167]

Hello Mr Spa Guy! It’s been awhile since I have watched any of your videos! Trying to get caught up! You are absolutely the best when it comes to Elvis history! Just Love what you do! Elvis original fan base are now in their late 70s onward! I am 67 and one thing I can say, when my time is up, every time someone who knows me, will remember me when an Elvis song is played on the radio. Every time an Elvis movie or magazine comes out. Still getting calls from old Air Force friends wanting to know what I thought of Baz Lurhman movie on Elvis. Please keep going. I Absolutely Love what you do!

[@SpaGuy]

I'm so glad you enjoy the videos and thank you for your kind words.

[@annib77]

Thanks for sharing Billy I thought I recognised the drive up to Red Wests grave from the other footage of his funeral. Wow you have been busy there are a lot of people here.

[@billcutshall9638]

Nice video

[@mjanovec]

Thanks for the cemetery tour. I meant to visit here on my trip to Memphis but ran out of time. For those interested, the cemetery also has several other notable musicians including Charlie Rich (fellow Sun Records artist), Bob Welch (Fleetwood Mac), Bill Justis (“Raunchy”), Jimmy Griffin (Bread), and Ronnie Caldwell. Caldwell was a member of the Bar-Kays who died in the same plane crash that claimed Otis Redding. If you do a follow-up video someday, I would love to see their final resting places.

[@SpaGuy]

Yes I will definitely get some of those other people as we.. I was focusing on people with a direct connection to Elvis with the exception of Hayes..

[@lu-anneharris5961]

Thanks Billy hard to get around ya head people we once known by tv are passaway been long time now they since gone🇦🇺

[@Elaine3764]

Very interesting I always thought Red might be near Sonny.

[@dinshawpocha4882]

Hi Spa Guy, I have to say I'm a little surprised that there is nothing written down to list the achievements of Sam Phillips at his last resting place, I wonder if that was a decision made by his family, or that generally speaking achievements just are not listed informing the general public? A very informed report well put together Thank you again Take Care.

[@hhavi]

I love your tablet setup to your left. Just wondering if that doesn't obstruct your view though. Keep up the outstanding content!

[@tonyo.4226]

Spa Guy. Back when George K was on SiriusXM. He once said that after Elvis passed, he was outside talking to one of the maids (possibly Nancy Rooks told him something very important that happened to Elvis. He said he immediately wrote it down. Went home and locked it in his safe. He added he will never reveal what was said until he himself passes. Was wondering if you have any info on what it was. Now that the Geeker has passed. As always Thank you for your knowledge and great videos!!

[@berry6046]

Yes been there seen Reds grave

[@berry6046]

Thats a rap

[@berry6046]

We went in and ask the people where the graves of the ones you showing are they wouldnt tell us but from a vid you showed few yrs ago we found Red the lady inside said she used to date George?

[@rogerbrown3725]

Missed Charlie Rich’s grave .

[@SpaGuy]

You could make a case for him being Elvis related because of Sun but I was doing direct connections.. I'll have Charlie in a future video with many others,,

[@rogerbrown3725]

Thank you . Really enjoy your videos.

[@PhilipDoyle-t8e]

Red west was on the a.team,with George peppered etc.g.klein heard on the news,shame,I've never seen this video,interesting though,

[@thinblueswinebbq]

As you were rolling through the thought entered my mind … is anyone buried in the spot where Elvis’ mother was originally buried? I remember visiting her spot during our visit before Elvis passed and then again while Elvis was buried in the mausoleum. Just curious is that spot was ever used again?

[@lindy9745]

Billy, Kathy died in 1972 just 20 yrs old..do you know what happen? Less than a month after the picture with Elvis? So sad..beautiful cemetery

[@corey4690]

You should really come to Decatur and visit Charlie Hodge!

[@SpaGuy]

I have recently I will edit that and put it out soon..

[@ccat148]

Off the subject, but do you know why Red was not in the other, newer, videos of the Memphis Mafia. They only have Sonny, Marty, Billy, Lamar, Joe and Larry (recorded separately from them) Thanks in advance if you or anyone knows the answer?

[@ccat148]

Thanks for what you do. It is life, but it's sad all of them being there. Those associated with him from the beginning to the very end. From Phillips to even the ambulance driver. Ironic. But, I can assume it is the largest cemetery there? Do you know the acreage? Maybe it was the overcast weather that day. Sad about the driver of the hearse. I wonder, when time appropriate, if any of his family members recall his story.

[@rachaelleight4612]

Have you been back to Sonny West grave since his funeral? I would love to see a video of his final resting place. Thank you for these thoughtful videos!!

[@SpaGuy]

Yes I was there yesterday.. He does have a nice marker now..

[@whitehead51]

You would need a map the grounds are huge

[@scottworthington5764]

You mentioned the motorcycle picture with Elvis was on 7.1.1972 and her grave said she passed away on 7.18.1972. What happened? Did she really pass away just 18 days later?

[@SpaGuy]

Yes she did.. I have done several videos on that subject.. here is the story.. kzbin.info/www/bejne/p17UhH5oeb6hiNEsi=oZbhaFWKlVGdW0xc kzbin.info/www/bejne/hV7bmYeogaZ5p8Usi=zWQvKTnXeqSO8tJJ

[@ctt4811]

Why are there no headstones?

[@mjanovec]

There are headstones. They are just flush with the ground. It is so much easier to keep the grass mowed when there aren’t thousands of stones to drive around. Many cemeteries prefer flush headstones for this reason.
