Mr. Henry is the salt of the earth. When the country was full of these honorable men America "was great"' You have a ton of simple yet amazing people in your videos that show a slice of what we once were. Getting to see old America is like getting to see Elvis in person.
Man, I thought Frank was maybe early 80’s but hear 95 and still with it and driving is unbelievable. It’s also good to see there are still nice people in this world, including you Billy.
You got to admire Frank at 95yrs old..he was so reminiscing the times 😀... also the kids got the money back I bet they loved that. Thanks Spaguy..loved it 👍🙏
Love everything about this...Frank the Old Timer, the "vintage" Jeep, the sleepy "downtown" area...seeing America through Billy's camera, and tracking Elvis' footsteps across the U.S. This deserves a bigger audience. Great stuff!
Thank You, I will release the longer version on the Weekly Spa Guy channel soon where Frank shows his museum and the mock up airplane based on a patent for the airplane prior to the Wright Brothers.. The town was named after the airplane inventor by the way...
it never ceases to amaze me just how hospitable and kind the people are when you go to places like this and interview them....and they all have great stories to tell....
This was great Billy, thank you. Frank was quite a guy. I wonder if Elvis knew the ticket money was returned to the kids? I don’t think too many people realise how hard Elvis, Scotty, Bill and Sam worked to get things off the ground and some of the difficulties they faced.
This is great! It said in one of the comments that Frank was 95, so he'd be about 9 years older than ELVIS. Hard to believe, because we don't know what an aged Elvis would look like, it's hard imagining him older. This must have happened more than once to Elvis. I lived in EP MO and I heard a story like that about Elvis performing there, but ended up the school wouldn't let him. Probably in that same era. Before my time. Wish my dad were here, he'd be 100 if he were still living. He was like Frank a very good historian. This is very interesting, and because of the fact you happened upon Frank was a bonus!
Incredible historiy Billy, thanks for sharing. Amazing that Frank Henry found the picktures of the history so fast . Wow nothing is better than meet people so have live in this town for 75 years !
I could not believe it when he reached into a file cabinet and pulled out pictures and such about that day.. I am amazed by people I meet in these towns..
Blessings to Mr. Henry. What a treat for him, too; he woke up that morning not knowing he’d be interviewed and share his wisdom with all of us. All these interviews are possible because of your pleasant demeanor in approaching strangers, Spa Guy. Tighten up and keep on doing it!!
Billy What an amazing story. Its almost a miracle you found Mr. Henry. Finding someone who was there is incredible! I only wish is that they would have not torn down Buildings. Thanks Billy
What an amazing , amazing piece of Elvis´s puzzle ! Funniest thing is the return of the 50 cents to the kids .Hilarious . One exercice I do is to imagine where Elvis went on tour during his early years and how it was ... now you are bringing those imaginations to us SpaGuy ! Thank you very much.
What a wonderful story Billy my friend. If anyone could find a special spot like that it would be YOU. Elvis the Pelvis is what the School Superintendent thought about Elvis and returned the kids their money. The kids must have been happy seeing an Elvis show and getting their money back. Your friend Frank is a legend. So sweet, helpful and enthusiastic to show you everything he had. Thank you Frank and Thank you my friend Spa Guy. You rock. ❤️🤗🙏🏼💕
What a fantastic story about Elvis and the kids having fun and then getting money back, what exciting stuff;this man being able to tell you this story and you are video this. 50cents. ELVIS IS THE COOLEST 👑❤💎🧡💛💚💙💥💥👑🥰🥰🥰👑👑👑
This story was nice . Love how people till this day still remember Elvis. He was before my time. But I would have love to have gone to see him in contact. thank you spa guy for keeping us fans up to date on Elvis pass story's.
Hola Spa Guy 💪 " Definitely you ARE A WISE SMART SHARP HISTORICAL HISTOY OF " ELVISICON "...Enjoying every Second of it. and it keeps the fan motivated informed intrrested Alive of "ELVISICON "... WE ALL LOVE YOUR PASSION OF HISTORY...AND APPRECIATION VALUE CHERISH YOU SPA GUY...
This is so exciting to know ! And Frank right on top of it to find the pictures and be so on top of it 👍🏼Spa Guy You are the best finding the exact spots (Elvis ‘s tracks )A real Hunter ! Thank you ✌️
I can not believe they did not like Elvis performance I bet they regretted later on thanks for the information love to hear the history back in the day about elvis
Another great video....Mr. Henry was so alert and still driving at 95, Wow!!!!! I would bet Elvis never gave the Superintendent of this school a new car!!!!!!!!😂😂😂😂😂🎹🎤🎧🎼❤️
Fantastic video and what an Elvis story ! ! Elvis really did pay his dues trying to spread the music he loved ! ! The story about the ticket money being refunded just shows how much Elvis had to contend with to put his magic out there ! ! !
Our elders are priceless! Bless his heart, what a wealth of information. I looked on google maps to see his office and his Jeep is in the parking lot! It's truly amazing, the people you meet. Love the video
Love your videos brother . You inspire many people's by your videos. That old guy in first with white cap is so cool i wants to hug him because he looks like my grandpa who not with us.
Elvis received a lot of criticism in the beginning. This had to hurt since he was raise to respect his elders. I've heard him in interviews from back then and when told rock and roll won't last, he said it may not, it might all be over tomorrow. He definitely handled it all very well.
What is rattlin’ in yer truck? 😂 Love it, that sweet 95yr old man Mr. Frank is precious!! Once again, so wonderful to bring pieces of Elvis history to life-thank you! 🙏🏼
I just love your video's ....I went to see Elvis in Birmingham, Al and the the next night I drove to the Omni in Atlanta to see him again ...I took pictures but can't remember where they are....The show was so wonderful both times
That’s amazing , such great history of Elvis ... imagine if you had started this so long ago , Elvis sure did get around 😀 keeping you on your toes Thanks for sharing 🤗
I wish cameras were better back then I have missed out on a lot of history.. Now they are so good and easy to film with that getting these stories is a joy..
Very interesting EP history SG. Frank is the salt of the Earth. Any suspenders & belt kinda guy rocks,,in my book, The old gray Ghost propelled you to yet another cool undocumented piece of the Elvis puzzle. Hard to imagine what the school superintendent was thinking to determine Elvis was 'vulgar' maybe, to return everyone's money for this? Thanks again.
That's just terrible that they didn't like Elvis.... Frank Henry is real sharp still and knows a ton of information!!! Nothing like first hand info.....👍👌👏
Dermott High students get a refund....& kids gave the $ back to their parents. Good old Frank. What a guy. Inspiration. Elvis show stopped because of his body movements....kids get their $ back because the show was stopped early. As Elvis said in the NYC interview ...he’s tame compared to the rock bands of the 1970s ... Punk Rock bands ...& the heavy metal....drugs ...so on... Gee I was only 2 months old when Elvis played in this town. Street named Speed Way...(Elvis movie) Elvis was the new guy on the block....& from high school to a yr later world famous . Frank 95 yrs old & driving...he’s da man. And what a nice guy. Wonder if he is an Elvis fan ? Well he may like Elvis gospel / country music. Billy the pitcher threw his best pitch as it’s a full count. Whack ..it’s going going going home run. Sorry for paying fans you did not get to keep the ball. (Ball sailed right outta the park) Yes Billy ya hit the ball outta the park. Unreal Elvis history !!!
When he played in Batesville, Arkansas, in August 1955, the Jaycees I believe wrote to someone and claimed his performance was uncouth and the colonel wrote to Bob Neal and told him Elvis needed to refund his money to the group who paid for him to play the water carnival. The Duke of Padukah was the closing act and word was he was the uncouth one. Everyone I've spoken to who attended said Elvis' did a great performance. The letter from the Col. and story is also in "Elvis Day By Day."
Those old Cherokees were tanks, the old AMC in-line 6 4.0L will run forever with basic maintenance. Sadly in Canada rust has claimed those old jeeps long ago
They got paid after a concert back then before they left to go to the next place.. They had to get paid to be able to buy gas, food and rooms.. I doubt Elvis knew they got their money back and the money back didn't happen until Monday..
You need to not bite your skin around your nails it shows up bad on 4K spa guy ....I bite my nails from being 10 yrs until 38yrs then I managed to stop ...

Great work as always brother! Providence always provides for you. God wants the Elvis story told too!
I can't believe these stories unfold like they do.. God is no doubt providing,..

HOPE TO SEE MORE VIDEOS OF ELVIS FRIENDS;🥰🥰🥰
It's weird and amazing to stand where Elvis stood, look at the same trees.
Awesome video Spa Guy and Frank Henry❤️thank you for sharing.
You can hear Billy's bottles of water clanging when he hits the bumps on those old roads. Great job Billy thanks.
Jeep stopped making that particular model 15 years ago or so. That was an excellent vehicle,that straight 6 was bulletproof. Go forever and tough.
Loved the video. So interesting. The man in video had a unique voice too 😊
Love the history Spa Guy, thank you for sharing!
With the trees and the landscape you would never know a school was there.
Amazing ⭐️ Thank you for all these fantastic videos 🙏🏻🙂
What a Great video Billie ,Thank You!
Spa Guy, thank you for this video, Hi Frank; FRIST FRIENDS... it's amazing how different the school size then. WHAT HISTORY 👑🥰💥💙💚💛🧡💎❤💜
Fantástica historia, y como siempre, fantástico el vídeo!!! Muchas gracias 😊 👏👏👏👏👏
Is that a case of Arkansas spring water bottles clanging together in the back of the Jeep?
Another nice video Spa Guy...
Yes it is!! You will hear them in many of the Arkansas videos..
@@SpaGuy
Well I did watch a lot of Columbo growing up... 🤔
Mr Henry incredible lovely man good history thank you you make all so interesting an find the right people
What an incredible man Mr. Henry is!!!
Great Interview !!
This brings tears to my eyes! How wonderful. (NB: it’s pronounced “der mott” ,like the apple juice, not “der mitt”. Lovely piece in all ways!
Frank and Elvis are 53 years different in age and that place me born in 1953. I hope to make Frank's age or more GOD willing...🥰🥰🥰
E o ligar é lindo..
Thank you so much 😉..
I would like to see the picture of Elvis and the trooper.
That episode will be released Monday.. Stay Tuned..
What a sweet guy thanks Billy
Great video spa guy
That's just terrible that they didn't like Elvis.... Frank Henry is real sharp still and knows a ton of information!!! Nothing like first hand info.....👍👌👏
Dermott High students get a refund....& kids gave the $ back to their parents.
Good old Frank. What a guy. Inspiration.
Elvis show stopped because of his body movements....kids get their $ back because the show was stopped early.
As Elvis said in the NYC interview ...he’s tame compared to the rock bands of the 1970s ...
Punk Rock bands ...& the heavy metal....drugs ...so on...
Gee I was only 2 months old when Elvis played in this town.
Street named Speed Way...(Elvis movie)
Elvis was the new guy on the block....& from high school to a yr later world famous .
Frank 95 yrs old & driving...he’s da man. And what a nice guy. Wonder if he is an Elvis fan ?
Well he may like Elvis gospel / country music.
Billy the pitcher threw his best pitch as it’s a full count.
Whack ..it’s going going going home run.
Sorry for paying fans you did not get to keep the ball.
(Ball sailed right outta the park)
Yes Billy ya hit the ball outta the park.
Unreal Elvis history !!!
I had a 97 Jeep Grand Cherokee until it started shutting down in the middle of the road. Now I have a Dodge Challenger.
When he played in Batesville, Arkansas, in August 1955, the Jaycees I believe wrote to someone and claimed his performance was uncouth and the colonel wrote to Bob Neal and told him Elvis needed to refund his money to the group who paid for him to play the water carnival. The Duke of Padukah was the closing act and word was he was the uncouth one. Everyone I've spoken to who attended said Elvis' did a great performance. The letter from the Col. and story is also in "Elvis Day By Day."
Another PIECE of the Elvis puzzle 🧩..... 252 says hey!
Love Mr. Henry!
Always great 👍
My mom graduated from DerMott High School in 1951
Man that is some rare stuff. Its like a different world.
Those old Cherokees were tanks, the old AMC in-line 6 4.0L will run forever with basic maintenance. Sadly in Canada rust has claimed those old jeeps long ago
The street named... "Speedway"
I missed that! Ha! Elvis had the last laugh! 🥰😁😇
Old dudes are the best. I hope I’m that cool when I’m that old. Doubt it.
If he could only of known!!!!!!
Nice video.
Thank You..Did Frank attend that school?
He didn't say he did..
Hi Billy,
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🇫🇮
Hi, cool
How can you be sure Elvis was paid? They could have refused to pay.
They got paid after a concert back then before they left to go to the next place.. They had to get paid to be able to buy gas, food and rooms.. I doubt Elvis knew they got their money back and the money back didn't happen until Monday..
Another Gooden ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Did Frank meet Elvis do you know?
He never did..
You need to not bite your skin around your nails it shows up bad on 4K spa guy ....I bite my nails from being 10 yrs until 38yrs then I managed to stop ...
🤣 give him a break he's driving & thinking on the back roads of America! 🤷♀️
