What Did The TV Room Look Like at Graceland Before It Was Painted Yellow

Episode 168. Answering more of viewer's questions this week!
(May 2021)

[@bruceliggett8036]

Dangit guys, can’t y’all make longer videos? It’s such a tease man, I could listen to you guys all day long! Happy Mother’s Day!

[@d.b.4201]

I Agree!!!

[@magikp6636]

I agree. Some of the videos are only 5 or 6 min long. Seems like y'all just get started and your done already. It would be nice if y'all could do like at least 30 min videos. I know once someone gets to talking 30 min ain't nothin'. Specially when you're talkin' about something that you like or enjoy. Another thought would be once a month (maybe the first Sun or last Sun or whichever day you choose) to make a long video, maybe 30 min or an hour? That may be pushin' it, but it would be nice. And they way y'all talk, I don't think it would be hard. Just have a list of questions lined up and you're good to go. Look tonight, you could have probably went on for another 10 or 15 min easily. You (Danny) were ready to start talking and you cut yourself off. Saying you'll save it for another time. Thanks for all y'all do! And keep up the GREAT work!

So cool! I love coming to the (Real Source)! Billy and Jo , you’re precious to all of us, The Elvis Fans. I love you guys! God Bless you and your family.

[@tp5776]

I think what gets overlooked about Graceland is the house was less than 20 yrs old when Elvis bought it. So it wasn't a big old mansion house when he bought it. It was the perfect age for an update without needing major work.

[@gracieg7601]

Yeah. He bought it when he was 22. 1957 And it was built in 1939. But it was a perfect house to add onto fir sure. He even thought about building onto the house on the top.

[@debiwoodhams3458]

Thanks for all your time and keeping Elvis alive. Love you guys so much, such a wonderful family xxx

[@RDomgz]

When you look back what is the favorite memory of Elvis that always brings a smile?

[@mlbdestinations8418]

I love the MC Hammer ring tone!! LOL I just want to say on a serious note, that I thank God every day that Billy is around still to share all his memories! I really feel Elvis would love that you guys are helping to keep his memory preserved! Thank you for the time that you take to answer the questions! Happy Mothers Day to Jo!!

An ice cream bar - neat! Also, I have seen a picture of Pricilla sitting at the dining table when the decor was still Gladys'. White dining table. I wish we could see more pictures of the Gladys era Graceland.

[@Marr-in-Memphis]

If the walls at Graceland could talk, what stories they would be telling. I appreciate & adore every tidbit you share with us.

Linda did an awesome job down in that area. The yellow looks great!

[@jacquelineloveselvis]

Yes she did. But changing the lounge and dining area to red was hideous. I am so pleased that was removed.

[@tomlivesay8407]

Were you with Elvis when he recorded Here come Santa Clause? It is one of my favorites of his, I first heard it in the 60's when I was in elementary school.

[@Cinos1]

Wow he had an ice cream bar!! How cool! Snazzy looking hat Billy! I have a question, I'm not sure if it's been asked before. Did Elvis ever get nostalgic? Did he ever re visit his little birth home in Tupelo? Love the videos!! 😎👍

What was you favorite meal made by the Graceland cooks? Who was your favorite cook?

[@derekdavis2641]

you guys should make a movie about your life with Elvis

[@RDomgz]

My favorite times in Elvis’ life music wise was early days, after the army, and early 70’s. He had such a hopefulness about him. The last few years seems like he was hopeless. I’ve heard several MM say that he’d lost something to challenge him. Can you give insight into any of this?

[@christinalock9937]

Hello lovely Smith family, real blood of Elvis.. Billy,Jo and boys. What happened to Lisa? Why did Priscilla leave a 14 year old in Scientology? I guess you all ask the same questions? Love your daddy and mamma? You boys are part of your parents, loving respectful memories of Elvis, your kin. Great family, loving family.

[@scottrygg6275]

Did Elvis ever wander away to himself ya know get in the car an drive alone?

[@lefty5757]

Hi MMK, This one for Billy, Where did you first stay when you moved from Tupelo to Memphis? Thank you TCB⚡️

[@jmf2471]

Question: Does Billy remember the Route Elvis and them would take driving from Memphis to LA or Vegas? For example, which highway would they take.

[@1badtubeman]

It was evident that Elvis was a little on the vain side, or maybe, just ultra sensitive about the way he looked. Perhaps that was driven by being in the public eye? But my real question is: how did Elvis take the loss of his good looks in the circa 1975-77 timeframe? He was never ugly, but certainly not the super good looking man he was in the 60s. Did he ever say anything about the loss of his good looks?

[@sdhscrosscountry]

Love this

[@MichaelSmith-990]

This is probably a weird question but here goes I've read years ago about Elvis' cologne favorites brut, jovan musk, canoe,. Hai karate but I read somewhere he used the very high end expensive Creed fragrances. Did he really use Creed?

[@cpthekilla]

u gotta change that ring tone son. Put Elvis on there i did

Yes! It's like when I went to the Elvis store in Wichita Falls TX and they just played regular radio. C'mon people!

[@tonimolina197]

I have to ask is there anyone else in the family that comes close to Elvis looks

[@markgale2989]

Thought Marty lackers brother in law did the tv room and pool room I could be wrong tho

[@sandralybrand9407]

He probably did any construction that needed to be done because that was his job there, but he didn't do any decorating. Elvis hired a decorator when he bought Graceland. All but his bedroom was done to his mama's taste. Later on Linda Thompson decorated mainly to Elvis taste, but muted, because he did like the in your face colors. Lol Pricilla changed everything(except Elvis room) back to how it was when she lived there except she did leave the peacocks that Elvis had put in when with Linda and also left the basement the same.(Just had to move all his Gold and Platinum records etc. because too many(and still getting) They now have a whole area just for display of his Gold and Platinum records because it's a massive collection and we'll deserved!
