Watch on the Right Hand, Southern Accent, & a Stuntman's Shoulder

You 3 are so funny. You can tell that Jo really loves Billy.

[@gracieg7601]

Jo and Billy are such a adorable couple. I love to listen to them talk. It doesn’t matter to me what their talking about. If they’re talking about. It’s fun to listen to them talk. I also love to listen to them talk about family and their chickens.

[@efmelvisfansmatter1129]

Thank you all so much for joining in!!! We love you all!!!

[@Jen195152]

I don’t know why people put down the southern dialect!! I have one and damned proud of it!! Elvis really never completely lost his southern accent!! It made him who he was!! Nothing like being brought up in the south!! Some of the most genuine people you will ever meet!!

[@efmelvisfansmatter1129]

We agree!

[@Patracat]

I am an Aussie, and I just adore your accent❤. When I was touring the USA with my husband in the 70's, our favourite region was the South, for rhe people and their accent😂 I love Elvis' accent in his first four movies, the Southern accent was more pronounced then, bur in spite of becoming more cosmopolitan in later years he never lost it completely .😊😊😊

[@nancydemello2974]

I think once he came home from the Army, he matured! His voice got deeper, and he seemed to think about what he was going to say before he said it! Big difference between before 1960 and after!

[@billbarrett6285]

My Aunt was a tremendous Elvis fan. I remember going to her house when I was like 3 or 4 and hearing Elvis singing Proud Mary on the Madison Square Garden Recording. I remember thinking how incredible it was. My aunt had a brain hemmorage when she was a young adult and ultimately was paralyzed. She walked with a cane and brace or used a wheelchair for many years. When I started listening to Elvis all the time and visited Graceland, my Aunt gave me some of her Elvis albums which I still have. I'm sure I don't have as many albums as some people but I do have a lot of them. They've brought me a lot of joy through the years. In the last few years my Aunt lost her eyesight and she passed away a few months ago. When I listen to Elvis I will always think of her.

[@pattyh956]

Great to see a new video!!! Makes me smile. Question: Did Billy and Jo have keys to Graceland? In the car did Elvis ever sing along with the radio?

[@efmelvisfansmatter1129]

No we didn’t, We could always get into a certain entrance.I not aware that anyone else had keys,24 hour guard.

"My whole weapon is a body. I mean my whole body is a weapon." -Billy "Elvis will talk about not being able to touch hands with body, er body with hands. Just got this show off the air, boy I tell ya!"-Elvis Lol 😂💙

[@manlystranger4973]

If you see a picture where Elvis is wearing his watch on his right hand, take a closer look and see if his hair is parting on the correct side. A lot of times, when you see a picture on the internet or in a TV show or in a magazine, there is a good chance the picture has been flipped left for right, probably because it was cropped or perhaps in an attempt to bypass a filter which might recognize copyrighted pictures. If you see Elvis wearing his watch on his right arm in an Elvis movie, you can be sure the negative was flipped, which is very common in TV and movies as it gives the editor and director a little more wiggle room when polishing the final product.

[@LindaD68]

Love seeing Billy & Jo always teasing each other and being so affectionate towards one another! 😍 Just like “Teenagers In Love!” 😘 ❤. You talk about Elvis saying y’all needing to go “to the home for the silly”. We always say “we need to be sent to the funny farm!” LOL. 🤪.

I never noticed Elvis losing his southern accent.He just lost the twang from his earlier years !

I'm also left-handed but I wear my watch on my right hand. just a fun fact. I am going to watch for this also..

[@gracieg7601]

I noticed when he talked about Lisa his accent was more southern.

[@angelaneilson4364]

I just would like to make a comment about Elvis’s accent: I have an Italian Accent and I have been in this country for fifty years and don’t really use my first language to frequent. However, I still have an accent, sometimes goes away and other times comes back. With that being said, accents really does not go away Regional or Foreign language especially if you learn a language after one is 12 years and older. Elvis may have spoken without a Southern accent at times but I’m sure it was always there. Ps.it gives a Person a unique charm as Elvis Had. Billy,Jo and Danielle, Thank you for the video as we enjoyed as usual! Arrivederci!

[@carolsue9456]

It’s easy to see why Elvis loved you both so much! You are such down to earth and kind people. He knew you loved him for “him” not like the “Hollywood” fake people. I love my southern roots. The best singer in the world came out of the south.

[@sharondunbar254]

[@mattthegooner1076]

Hi Billy and Jo, You were the last people to have the honour of hearing Elvis sing for the last time the night before he sadly passed away. You must cherish this moment and I understand it is an emotional subject but how proud does this make you feel? love the videos!! Matt

[@bonniebrown6960]

I love knowing that Elvis still used his real southern accent when he was with ya'll. I noticed the change in his accent too when he was on stage sometimes. Like his " I's " for an example would change once in awhile. Great Q&A. Thank you Billy, Jo, and Danielle. Love it!!

[@PattyAlexander-h3c]

I have something I have wondered for some time.. I was in Memphis the day Elvis died and was at the gates when the hearse came down Elvis Presley Blvd, but then about 1/2 block away sped up and drove through the church parking lot and come what was the back entrance of Graceland... I was back in Memphis in 1981 and drove into the church parking lot and drove up to the back gate and took a picture of it, but then when I looked from there to the street I noticed a lot of trees with humps and dirt and almost like dirtbikes etc had been driven through it, it was growing back, but was wondering if that happened that he (and you etc) were able to drive through that area without being seen from the street... I could imagine it, and was wondering if that did happen...

[@dorothycastaneda8760]

I see some concert videos recorded by fans of Elvis joking around and he'd say ya'll sometimes. I Loved his southern accent. I have relatives in North Carolina and when I was a little girl I wished I had their southern accent. I was from Chicago and my relatives from the South said I had an accent.😂.I love your videos you are all the real deal,I feel like I'm watching friends 😊❤

[@elvisfangirl9093]

I’m glad to see Danielle in the videos 😊. I’d like to ask how Billy and Jo felt when Elvis and linda redecorated Graceland in 1974, the rooms were so fashionable and unique how did they like it? Thank you ❤. And were they upset that fans never got to see the red dining room and living room when Graceland opened to the public?

Yes Elvis accent changed, I think because he started making movies. So he tried speaking properly. He did have Southern drawl and it was strong.

[@gpt465]

Elvis did have a southern accent in the beginning. Lost most of it in his later years. Ever now and then he would go southern again. Like the old saying You can take the boy out of the country,but you can't take the country out of the boy. His fans would love him no matter what accent he had. Still best singer ever❤ Thanks for sharing love it!

I heard Marty say that once E fired all the guys and Billy had had enough so asked Marty to take him to the airport to take him home to Memphis,so off they went,E found out and called,and Billy made E say sorry to him as it rattled him so much,before he decided to return to E rather than go to Memphis!Billy must have been very miffed to have pushed E,perhaps this story is worth telling as we all know E didn’t apologise that often 👍

Why have you not written book on your life with Elvis? With all of your memories of Elvis . I’m sure there would be more then enough to fill a book. I do love watching your videos, because you tell the stories exactly the way they happened. I love that Elvis never forgot where he came from and always interacted with his fans, unlike most entertainers, who could careless about their fans. I still watch Elvis concerts on You Tube. You can still feel that charisma coming through the tv screen. Lol! He was and is one of the most handsome entertainers I’ve ever seen. To this day I don’t know of a entertainer that has the good looks and charisma, that Elvis had. I wish I could have went to one of his concerts, as I was only 17 when he left . Thank You for sharing your memories with all of us Elvis fans. 🎸✌️ 🎶🫶🎸✌️ 🎶 ✌️🎸✌️🎶🫶

You are so right about Elvis' charisma. It blew me away when I saw him on stage in 1976. I posted a video with my photos on my channel with a description of what it was like to see Elvis close up in person. Would love to know Billy and Jo think of it if they had time to watch it❤

Hi to all three of you, Billy, Jo and Danielle, You are all very very loving. Elvis was very fortunate to have you as family, and you were blessed to be part of Elvis’ family, what exciting lives you led! My first question is about Patsy, Elvis’s double cousin… would she have pictures of Elvis‘s granddad or family pictures that she could share? Question number two… Does anyone know if Red and Sonny West Attended Elvis‘s viewing or funeral? Thank you so much 😘really appreciate all you do! 13:56

[@lallymrq]

Hi Billy, Jo and Danielle! Greetings from Brazil. 💚💛 First of all, I have to say how I love to watch your videos. You are all very warm, kind and you're always laughing and joking with each other. I watch the videos from EFM and MMK with Danny, and I just love it! Always good hearing stories from you guys. What a life! Thank you from being there for us... the Elvis fa(n)mily. I wish you a long lifetime fulfilled with joy. ❤ Well, I have 3 questions. 1° question is about Linda and Elvis' break up. I don't know if anybody asked this before, probably yes, so pardon me... but here it goes: I'm reading Linda's book and I really sympathize with her but I wanted to ask... She said in her book about when Elvis and her broke up and she still had his credit card for a while before Vernon cancelled it, so she bought some Christmas gifts and a last gift for Elvis, which was a yellow diamond ring. She said she handed it to Billy, because she trusted him, and asked him to give the gift to Elvis, along with a letter written by her. She also said in her book that Billy later said to her that he gave it to Elvis and he was happy with the letter and gift but he was also quiet and seemed sad. Linda also said she kept in touch with him a few times by the phone, after the break up. Did you, Billy and Jo, sensed any kind of real sadness and maybe regret from Elvis about the break up with Linda, at least short after their break up? And did he seemed upset about Linda's relationship with David Briggs, having any kind of animosity towards him or he was okay and had just moved on? 2° question is: Did Elvis ever tried to write a song? He loved poetry so I can imagine him wanting to write something. Do you know if he ever wanted to develop writing music? 3° question: What is your favorite and dearest memory about Elvis? I hope you can answered my questions. Again, thank you for being there for us and sharing your Elvis memories. Elvis still is, and will remain being, the best entertainer this world would ever see. And he was blessed having you guys around him. Take care! Lots of love. ❤

[@gigimoore3738]

Question: Billy, if Elvis was still with us, do you think he would have written his own biography and tell us the true good, bad and ugly? (Assuming he had gotten clean from pills and The Col wasn't in charge). Of course he would probably need your help in remembering some things, accurately. I'm sure it was all a whirlwind to him. We are so blessed to still have your and Jo's good memories. Bless you and your dear family.
