The Ranch

[@gigimoore3738]

Billy, you certainly chose the right lady to ride that crazy ride of life with Elvis. I know that having family around was a bless for Elvis. What a treasure trove of memories ya'll have to share together....and we thank you for sharing them with us. Love the lighter hair, Jo. Bless you and your family, always. ❤

[@wondon2992]

Hey Billy! I appreciate you coming out and just saying it and not sugarcoating it! Remember, you were closest to Elvis and your still with us. So your account of what happens/happened will go down in history. These videos are probably more important than you realize. Please never hold back if it’s the truth!

[@cheyennevoss6566]

Thank you for more great Elvis stories Billy and Jo! We all love listening and learning more about your life with Elvis❤️ keep making awesome videos!!

[@angelaneilson4364]

Thank You! Billy And Jo my husband and I enjoy watching your video, interesting stories and memories of your life with Elvis and passion for horses It sounds like you guys had much fun! What Great Memories!!!! You two look great and make a beautiful couple! God Bless you guys!

[@sandraterry93]

Just can’t tell you how much I enjoy your stories of your times with Elvis. Thank you so much!!!!

[@jrose9378]

I’m a looonnng time fan. I’m 77 yr old-grew up loving Elvis from his career beginning to the end. I don’t recall ever hearing much about the ranch. I can understand though why it was kept pretty much quiet. He sure needed a place to get away from ppl and have some joy and fun, just as we all need. So glad to know he had that kinda peace sometimes. Am glad you’re still around to reassure us that he did! Thank you!

[@rwieber79]

Man that infuriates me that Colonel stole from Elvis like that and I'm just a fan so I can only imagine how that must have and still makes you Billy and Jo feel. I knew he got 50% of the merchandise and stuff for awhile but I didn't know he was getting 50% of everything and especially for 10 years!!!! He should have never got a dime over 20% tops. Just shows how loyal of a person Elvis was even to the detriment of himself.

[@lindasimpson3001]

Sounds like Elvis really loved the ranch! So happy to know he was happy! Thanks for the videos!

[@carolewainwright2509]

Sounds like alot of fun on the ranch riding horses. Another great video from people that knew Elvis and was there !!

[@LindaD68]

@EFM. YES!! 🙋‍♀️ . And they “didn’t have to RESEARCH” there’s because they “ LIVED IT WITH ELVIS”. And as the old saying goes, “ It came straight from the horses mouth”!! 🐴🐎. Sorry Billy & Jo. Didn’t mean any offense!! 😉. But thought that fit right in with your alls ranch memories and good times with Elvis!! Just saying y’all don’t have to do so-called “RESEARCH”, like someone 👎👎👎 does!!

These ranch memories are some of your alls best!! 🐴🐎🐄🐂 . I can see and hear the joy in your expressions and voices! 😊. I’m so glad Elvis had the chance to relax and enjoy himself for awhile!! LMAO at Elvis and “Cat Ballou”! Should’ve got rid of Parker instead of the ranch!! We’ve had horses in the past and you’re right Billy about the wild ones! We had a “nutcase on 4 legs” too. LOL. Didn’t take long to get rid of him, after he bucked my husband off and then fell on him! Thanks for the memories and keep TCB ⚡️🕺👑. Danielle, keep doing your great job! And say “Hi” to Laney! 👋

[@lanaclerk6371]

Thank you Billy, Jo, and Danielle for these wonderful videos. I really enjoyed hearing more about Elvis and you both on the ranch. The stories comes across to me that the ranch was a favorite place where Elvis enjoyed spending time. A place where he could be just a regular person and relax and be away from the limelight. I smiled when you told of him riding around with a hammer and nails mending the fence. That vision is just really so special to me. Elvis having to pay Colonel 50% is so ridiculous. I've never had very good feelings about the Colonel. The bad sure does far outweigh the good. Heard the grandfather clock twice ----always love that!! Appreciate all your family does. Take care and God Bess. Your puppy is cute.

Enjoyed listening to your stories of living at the Circle G Ranch and your adventures there with ELVIS. I'm sure ELVIS loved his Ranch and hated to sell it. What a great retreat for him to get away and relax with family. Giving it all up to sell, must of been bittersweet for him. Billy and Jo, you have many great memories with ELVIS.

Was Danny Mac a baby when y’all lived at the ranch? Were any kids living on farm? Seems like Elvis was relaxed there. I’ve heard Priscilla say that was some of her happiest times with Elvis. It’s a shame Elvis didn’t renegotiate with the colonel. That wasn’t right. Elvis was so Sheltered I feel like he really didn’t know any better. ( the business side) It was all about a handshake. Good memories thanks for sharing. Jo your hair looks fab. Danielle you’re doing a great job with your videos keep up the good work. Be Blessed -Ruby North Carolina

Do either of you recall a lady named Sandi Pichon ? She’s deceased but knew Elvis, Gladys, and Verno from the time she was 14 living at the house before Graceland. She was a big fan her whole life, befriended men in Elvis circle and Linda Thompson.

[@bonniebrown6960]

Thank you for sharing your stories about living on the ranch. It sounds like ya'll had a great time. I dreamed about Elvis twice last night. I was dreaming he was at the gates at Graceland with all of ya'll, but Graceland was in a town near by where I live. It wasn't in Memphis. It would take too long to try and explain everything that I dreamed, but it was so crazy and funny. lol !! 😂 Elvis was asking me how many grandkids I had now. Haha..!! It seemed so real. 😀 Anyway thanks again for the stories. 🤠🐎❤👍

I’m glad to have a new EFM to start the week. The ranch sounds like a little piece of Heaven. You have such fond memories of it. I can understand relocating the trailers away from the barn. Animals produce a great deal of “fertilizer.” Did Danny & Joey have horses or ponies there or at Graceland?
