It blows my mind that this was actually torn down and is now a car wash! That's despicable! Thanks for showing us another amazing place!
Keeping this place would be like making o.j simpsons house into a museum after he murdered ron and nicole in fact instead of tearing it down it should have been burned down!!!!
I have passed this place many times since I have lived here in Nashville. It's only 5 miles from where I live, sad day when no one would buy it, then they tore it down and built a carwash there!!! Nashville has lost so many historical buildings over the years so sad Nashville doesn't care about saving these buildings!!
@Tony Ray
Yeah... It seems like no City is interested in preserving it's history, especially lately.
Ya'd think that with all these supposed "Billions" just floating around, that some wealthy fan would buy and save these places... Nope.😒
The true Historians are apparently far and few between, these days!
I am so glad that Brian and Sally saved the historic stuff. Thank you Billy
I watch all your videos I miss these two.when I went to Graceland in the early 70s Elvis was alive my souvenirs were styx and stones from from Graceland you couldn’t buy nothing of Elvis . I still have them
Oh my.... listening to Elvis singing In The Chapel..... from a record player.....in that half demolished building....
Incredible to me! 💜 Thank you!
Great stuff. Elvis rented a hanger from my grandfather when he played Birmingham in 1976 I believe. He called my grandfather (or his people) and ask if he could hanged his plane for some minor repair while the plane was in town. Because my grandfather was so nice Elvis sent us tickets and I met him just before the show.
Carl is the hanger still there and and do you have any documents that could make a story? billy@thesgnetwork.com
Spa Guy hi just sent you an email
Update us man! Did a story ever come of this?!?
I have passed by this house many times, I had no idea the significance of this building. It is sad that we are losing all these places of musical history throughout the country.
Beautiful building.....so sad!
What a shame it would be without people like this couple who spare such important history.
Every year we are losing historical places for new modern places.Very sad to watch.We need to remember where our past came from.
Labor of love! Thank you Brian. Thank you Spa Guy.
Thank goodness for those who want to keep history alive.
This is where history was made! What a sad way to pay respect, tearing it down.. big mistake! Love your videos Spa Guy 👍😀
@Bossblack13 I care and You are an Idiot!! He was not a crook and No Colonel No Elvis.. You are now blocked so no need to repsond..
I appreciate so much what this person is doing..to keep memories of our Elvis alive..it's so heartbreaking to know that Elvis history is being torn down..regardless of my thoughts of c.tom..they still could have kept these buildings intact..for Elvis history instead of tearing them down...it's sad
Great work.I love Brian and Sally's passion.Well done Spa Guy and friends.Thankyou all.
By me being a General Contractor/Home Builder & Remodeler here in Central Arkansas (est ‘95), this is “absolutely amazing“ and it’s so fascinating to me! Not just because of the obvious but the whole construction type experience as a whole.
You guys just don't know how much these videos are appreciated by those of us, like myself, that are disabled and can't go, do or see things like this. Even though I have a certain dislike for Tom Parker, it is still history and it is Elvis history. I thought that he treated Elvis in a totally selfish way. Even after Elvis' death at his funeral, it was so obvious that he had no respect for Elvis and was there only because he had to be. However, had it not been for him, Elvis might have not made as much money as he did, so there is definitely two sides. Yet again, another great video! Keep up the great work Spa Guy!
Billy, it s that they tore it down. Alot of history happened there. Glad that Brian is doing this and that Spa Guy got this great footage. Thank you so much. God Bless.
Tore down a place worth dollars to put up a place that makes quarters.
Knotty pine paneling makes me pine for the house I grew up in. Unforgivable to have torn it down.
I literally have the chill's. You guy's make me want to cry!! I can't believe you are doing this..thank you from the bottom of our heart's. I didn't think anyone else would care about the littlest detail's like I do.
I really love that he’s got the Cash farms and this place. Great sir! Thanks for doing this.
That is just amazing how you were able to be there in time before all was tore down for share this video
A piece of history saved in capture ! How amazing!
Another great video Billy. The house was built in 1935 and was in fact bought by The Colonel in the early fifties from non other than Hank Snow. He had the house until the early eighties, maybe 82, when the EP Estate took it over in a law suit. There is a very interesting video of the previous owner, Judge Steve North, who gives a guided tour of the house and fan club building when it was used as a law office. He also interviews Ray Parker of the Jordanaires, who use to come to the house to meet The Colonel. Some really interesting video of The Colonels' office when it was in use. Hope this adds some factual information to your video and look forward to the next installment! Nick from the UK
WOW! Thank you for sharing this info!
Another interesting video. So glad there are special people to save things like this for the ages that are not here yet. Some people don't realize that once this stuff is gone, it is GONE forever!! Although I will probably never get the chance to ever meet you, Brian or his wife I want to thank you all for what you are doing my friend.
I can’t believe the city of Memphis or EP Enterprises didn’t purchase it! Not only is it amazing music history they could have generated revenue by touring it? Set it up with items not currently available for viewing. I’m just shocked.
@@Verbsdescribeus unfortunately Elvis’s lifestyle killed Elvis.
P
Another Fantastic Video my friend, very interesting ~ and a Special thanks to Brian Oxley and his wife
I thought I had watched all of Billy's videos; but missed this gem. Great Video...bitter sweet.
U are a Legend for doing this. U are making History right here.
Great video. I've seen that iconic picture (from 1956 or '57) of Elvis and The Colonel for years, in fact it's one of the first pics of Elvis and The Colonel I ever saw, but I had no idea where it was taken until now.
I just can't explain the vibes I get when I see this stuff from so long ago. Being a fan, I do feel a sense of sadness that people that had a connection with Elvis have passed and buildings with tons of memories are being torn down. But thanks to you and folks like Brian and Sally, we have saved some of it. Merry Christmas!
The Oxley's are a beautiful, born-again couple. Thanks for a great video!
This man is a darling person. I love that he loves music history and you too for making these videos so we are all able to see them. Thank you Billy ! You do such a great job my friend.
This is WONDERFUL! God bless this guy!
Omg!! Heartbreaking to me 💔
Nice that you grabbed a part of history .apiece of cedar and the tile .way to go spa man.
What a nice looking place. Could make a Restaurant out of it !..sad they had to tear it down...it could have become a landmark eventually....but not now ! ☹️
Thank you very much...a very significant part of the story! Glad you were able to be there.
All of us fans who were blessed to attend an Elvis concert now know the location where the business arrangements during the booking process of the concert were made. Another fine video that captures Elvis history. I am looking forward to watching the rest of your "Colonel Tom Parker" videos. Thanks Billy!
It should be declared a historical building. Because of the fan building alone. t's ridiculous to put a car wash there. Well done as always!❤️👍👍👏👏
It's a shame they tore this down to build a car wash but, at least they could save some of it. I hope the car wash gets torn down someday. Thanks Billy.
Thank you and Brian for your attention to detail in this amazing video. So glad that Brian is doing this work to save the colonel office and the Elvis history.
Everytime im on Gallatin Rd, that Car Wash that replaced Parkers home and office infuriates me. Historical wise, its really 2nd as far as importance to Graceland.
I wanna knock the Carwash down and build his house back to spec...
It makes me angry every time I see it too..
Thank you for showing us history! And preserving it!
Ty spa guy great info on the colonel😂🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Good onya thanks for sharing. I know I am a little late
But that don't make it any less enjoying. Glad you care ❤️❤️
💕Glad they saved and preserved historical gems! Modernism is doing away with too many historical sites, etc. As always it’s up to the ppl to preserve accurately what modern society doesn’t value or understand. 🌸🌸
This was one of the Coolest and Most Fun to watch !!! Thank you Chris Rose
I REALLY enjoyed this and here's why : I lived within walking distance since 1981, but never knew the back story until it went up for sale and the controversy started.
Thanks for the update. I think that you are doing great 💕
Thanks for recovering history.
I love these people. They are doing a great job on saving history.
Fantastic. Love to see history being saved.
This is amazing. Brian's a total doll.
Very very interesting video Spa Guy 👍
Enjoyed watching...amazing stuff 👌
great video but also a sad video, A big thanks to the gentleman who is saving what he can. Thank you spa guy for making the video so we all can see.
Thanks very much for all your work in Musical Memories. All the best!
Ok fans, this is epic!! Thx!!
I have a HUGE collection of Elvis memorabilia my next Gabor Penny Miller collected.. outtakes from movies, private Elvis home movies, every Elvisnews story ever broadcast.. She was obsessed with getting everything. I have her collection now and will be posting... regards..
Great video Spa guy, I been to that napa auto parts a million times and never knew this is where the colonel lived. I can't believe it's a carwash now. So glad Brian was able to remove the inside. I worked for the country music Hall of Fame and I use to get in the back of Elvis gold Cadillac to dust it. It use to give me goosebumps knowing it was the kings limo.
Another great video. Thanks Spa Guy your work is wonderful!!! 👏👏👏👏👏
A shame it had to be torn down ..luckily all the stuff from inside is being saved and hopefully he can recreate a fan house in another location ..the bathroom is exactly like our 1950s pink and black bathroom except that one was yellow and black ..typical 1950s bathroom we love it and it's never been changed ..the tile in it is 9x9 asbestos so I'm sure the tile there is the same ..great video thank you
Oh boy, did I enjoy this episode! How in the world did those papers, and poster get in those blocks? Maybe the Colonel planted them there for someone like yourself and Brian to find? Ha Ha! Too bad the place was tore down, but I'm so thankful for this thoughtful man's actions to save what he did. I'm also thankful that you filmed this and have been so kind to share it with us! I can't wait to see the other parts!
Thanks Mary, I have much more I am working on from this location.. I was able to treasure hunt the house and found a few small things.. Stay Tuned.. Spa Guy
Love all your stories of Elvis, you pick up where Bill Burk left off with his passing !!! Keep them coming !!!!
I'm glad I've came across your videos 1st. I learned my 1st bits about him, his death,Graceland & his grave watching your stuff. Born & raised in Shreveport,La where he performed at the La hayride wish I would of been alive to see him. My mom was just a born in 66 age 11 when he died but her 1st husband she married into the Presley side of the family his family believe it or not. Where her ex husband my siblings father his grandad recieved the letter when elvis passed. Now old enough at 29 and having UA-cam to do so I'm learning more about Elvis & plan to visit Graceland 1 day with my kids to get as close to knowing & seeing his things as I can. I'm more interested in learning about him then the presley side of my family for some reason but I've always known who he was and the relations. Fascinating to see the places he once was,ate at,started at,recorded at & some videos of him as a kid to the day he died. Thanks for sharing all these !!
This video is gold. Thank you so much for filming Spa Guy and thank you very much to Brian Oxley for allowing you to film, for showing us around & sharing some interesting history and stories. Looking forward to more and hopefully seeing the recreated fan club one day when it is finished.
Amazing video, would of loved to been there to see this all,wonderful people that are doing all this!!👏👏❤️👑
Thanks Spa Guy for doing all this research that you do it is very interesting. 👍🇺🇸
Thank You for watching Edwin.. Merry Christmas!!
@@SpaGuy it makes me wonder how many years longer Graceland itself will stand particularly once prescilla and lisa marie have passed on
Thank u for this u tube I like watching from Australia 🇦🇺
This is why we don't have old buildings in this country like they do in Europe. We demolish them and, build something else unless it's labeled historical. This is really sad and, a part of history. Thanks for taking me with you so I could see this. I hope they rebuild the pieces somewhere else so we can see it.
It happens here too. Certain ones are invested in but many are torn down. 🇨🇦
It’s really sad they wouldn’t allow this man to just purchase this property and preserve it in its proper place. A car wash can go anywhere. The city leaders should’ve stepped in and helped this man keep it there.
The city leaders are bought and paid for. They don’t care.
Hi Billy is Christine and this video is amazing and is incredible
I really appreciate it so much and is very definitely fantastic
so sad to see what happend with sush an amazing place that meant so much in elvis life , why for god sak let the Elvis Presley Enterprises this happend . how stupid that the city of ??? this lets happend . thanks for making the movie mt friend , god bless the good man who will save a part of this amazing place , greetz from belgium
This office building was in Madison, Tn which is north of Nashville, Tn. Just an FYI
I really appreciate all these awesome videos you do. I think it's time for me to visit Brian's place in Bon Aqua...I only live about 45 minutes from there . I had heard a little about it but YOU have helped me learn sooo much more. Thank you, again. Can't wait for more on "this" story.
Tell Brian you heard about it from the Spa Guy.. He is a Great Guy and Storytellers Museum is Awesome.. They have live music at too later in the week..
Will do...my friend :)
Truly glad got chance to vist this place we're , Elvis fan club and much more things he did, truly sad why put carwash which never last no longer hope pray make a chapter so Fans can vist. If anyone take look around all car wash all trash and tear down though years. Thank you spy guy and own place save stuff from building. Wish turn in gift shop for Fans can vist or record or cd shop. Or old fashioned 1955 food place were all Fans can vist. Guess want see would look like later. Love to see more on this part 1 or more. Thank you for this video clip. God bless ones made this very special Fans club folks still love Elvis Forever. Lots Elvis memories on this land. Never show phones in big building?? Hope to see this???
Thank you Mr.Brian for allowing SpaGuy to video this historic pop music history !
Its a shame they didn't keep that place for tours. I bet if it were remotely close to Graceland they would have.
Spy guy thank you 🤙
It’s awesome that you’re documenting all these places. The development is ever changing.
It was a realty office for many years before going up for sale. Steve North Realty, son of Madison iconic preacher, Ira North.
Great video, Elvis fans all over the world appreciate your work. We lost a great entertainer and a wonderful human being, These artifact continues to keep the memories alive for the generations to come. Every piece of paper, nail, broken tile, glass bears witness as what took place so long ago in this address, and how the story of the greatest entertainer of our time was made in this humble place.
Wow, that original bathroom. That's good lumber.
I think this guys brain never stops thinking gears are always turning that's why he can hardly finish a sentence. Cant wait to see how he puts it all together.
Thanks billy for all your footage on Elvis it’s priceless.you works so hard.really appreciate it.its so interesting.
Thank You Kevindlinc you took the words right outta my mouth buddy !!! And THANK YOU to Brian Oxly and Spa Guy for at least trying to salvage what you could from this HISTORIC place !!! SHAME ON YOU MEMPHIS as you are DESTROYING bit by bit the very things that have made your city proud through the years !!! Whatta SHAME !!!
This is just great to see this . Is the house gone now !!! Take care and God bless .
Yes the car wash is there now..
That is sad :{. !!!
Billy that is a crime that they tore it down and replaced with a dam car wash
Shame they Did Not Save this Building . So Much History.
I passed the car wash yesterday, I was born in Nashville in 1961 and ran around with Patsy's Cline's son in Madison also she only lived about five miles from here.
Great video, loved the stuff found in the walls i would love to have treasure like that !!
Rewatching this fir the second time. Thanks for all you do Spaguy!!! I love watching your videos.
Fascinating 🇦🇺🌸🌺
thanks again for this interesting history of elvis . ......Yvon
Thanks for the music trivia and especially concerning Elvis Mr. Spa Guy. A shame part of music history being torn down.
Awsome
They did the SAME EXACT thing to Ike & Tina's house in Beverly Hills, CA. It was MINT with even the original wallpapers & furniture too! Some youtubers went in and filmed everything & got pieces of stuff. They even filmed the movie "whats love got to do with it" there. I was blown away that someone preserved the entire house like Graceland all these years. Some seller buys it and wants it gone. So so sad.
So much incredible history, and hey tore it down. That is a travesty.
**edit** glad he disassembled the house to reassemble later.
To me absolutely insane that it is not being preserved. Wish I had 650k and I would have bought it and lived in it if required to save the place. As many have asked- you have to wonder why EPE did not purchase it. The Elvis connection IMO is just so strong.
Well , thank God for Brain and Sally for saving as much as they could . I bet that if they would have let the fans come and take a piece of stone or what ever was left over , they wouldn't even had to pay for hauling the rest of it off . I mean after Brain and Sally were through with what they need to get out of these buildings . I'm glad you were able to get some of those special gems . It's ashame that they had to tear it down , but like my daddy use to say ..... It's sad , but it's true . Thanks Spa Guy and Brian for sharing this . I can't wait to see what Brian is going to do with all of this and I can't wait to see your documentary on the rest of this . Thanks Spa Guy , I'm so glad you were there before it was gone and informed us that some of it will be saved !!!
Love it
