This is so Great! LOVED hearing Billy Smith talk about the movie!!!!!!
Yet again another great video. Shame the series is coming to a end. Great to see Billy and tell his funny story.
The Long version will be out on the Weekly Spa Guy Channel Soon..
@Spa Guy your obsessive attention to detail is appreciated by all Elvis 'nuts' like myself. It's pure escapism.Elvis is a part of our childhood memories, but all the more important because of that.
Enjoyed your singing, and I love grill cheese sandwiches. Your the best ! Thank you Billy. God Bless.
Things always get more interesting with Billy Smith in the mix!
So awesome
I built power lines for a living and that pole is easily that old. You can tell the creosote has dried out and started to crack. There's no reason for nails to be up that high near the neutral.
If you happen to live in that area when the local power company rebuilds that line, they will usually give you the pole 😉.
It would be an incredible keepsake!!
Nice, must be awesome to be right where Elvis was, great video 👍🏻
Elvis was here wish I was there thanks spa guy
Gracias Spa por enseñarnos estás imágenes tan fantásticas ,eres increíble .Y ahora ya lo puedo leer en Español 👍👍👌👌👑👑🙋
You did it again Billy a great job loved the picture of Billy smith in drag 😁😁👍
Its really amazing that the guard rail and telephone pole are still the original ones that where there when Elvis was there 57 years ago
And the WeAll house incredible
I love Billy Smith and Miss Jo
Billy Smith is one of the funniest and most truthful guys ,and the closest to Elvis , I think you'll ever get
I never knew that was Billy Smith playing the part of the girl in that scene so funny 🤣
I've really been enjoying all the info and places you've been in this video
Thanks so much Billy really awesome as always 😊❤
God bless you and your family
Stay well
Great story never new it was Billy Great video 👍
Great video! That’s so cool that you got to speak with Billy Smith. He seems like such a sweet guy. I would love to meet him sometime. And you too, Spa Guy! 😊
Funny how time slips away and Ms. SANDY MILLER must be misty-eyed with this wonderful video. Why, the bridge and white sandy beachline shootplace was more scenic 57 years ago than today. Another brilliant EP archival notes. Thanks much Mr. BILLY for making some unwarranted goosebumps up my spine, AGAIN!!!
That location of where Elvis was fishing is so beautiful wow..... SpaGuy you make the video extra special when you sing 😀👍🙏 keep up the good work 🙏
That was really funny with Billy! I never knew that little bit of info. Thanks!
Excellent video with panorama of nature's beauty.....A very soulful sunset and rainbow of colors of the horizon -- yesterday was President Nixon's birthday, before yesterday was Elvis' ........[its very nice hearing from you, as you sing, that you said, 'my heart is not weary'' --- try to see and watch the first inaugural speech of President Nixon, very beautiful as he quoted a thought of 'Archibald Mcleish' [about beauty of the universe] --- [[ God knew the heart of Nixon and Elvis ]] --- to add, one of your videos have beautiful background of birds singing [[ in the memorial ground ]].
Hi Billy 😊, Enjoying these FTD videos, thanks 😊 for sharing! Hope your doing well 😊 friend 🙏 for you and your family! Your friend Bonnie
Impressionante a 57 anos atrás Tem coisas que estão do mesmo jeito por aí são verdadeiras relíquias Muito obrigado pelo seu trabalho muito obrigado pela tradução que Deus o abençoe Spa Guy
Simply the best!!
So lawful this vídeo ! Thanks Very Spa Guy to place legend in Portuguese , Elvis Forever 💖
Did you see that I am doing CC in Portuguese? I will start doing that for all videos..
Thank-you for helping us to know more about this man we still love ! I just feel like he is still alive!!❤
Thank you
Elvis forever
So interesting. And Billy Smith, as cute as can be. I could watch for hours.
Very good Billy 👍👍👍🐾💂♂️👑💂♂️🐾
The then and now location videos are amazing to watch! Thanks so much Spa Guy, we appreciate it so much!
thank you spa guy had all the things up look forword to no.6
What a great story fr Billy Smith He is the nearest person you get to Elvis. Thanks Spa Guy .We are all following the Dream. You have a great singing voice - tiny bit like Elvis haha!
I love that old Ocala Hotel! And listen here Mr Spa Guy-you be careful crawling around coastal flora and fauna! You never know what’s growing and living in there. 😉 Thanks for really tightening up for this video 👍👍👏👏❤️
Thank you Billy...
good work again billy thanks for this video stay safe on tour
Great video spa guy. Thanks so much for making all these videos.
Great video! That was a funny story that Billy Smith told us about his small part in the film!
Nice job once again Billy. Love the way you follow up on all the places where Elvis spent his life making movies and music. Thanks also to Billy Smith for his input on his stand in role as stunt double dressed in drag.
Another great video can't believe you haven't put these out before now you were saying something about not having that great of footage before I think you done a great job with the footage
Maravilhoso...
Obrigada Billy, você é u grande amigo dos fãs do Elvis. Teve o trabalho de colocar legendas em português para que possamos desfrutar mais deste trabalho seu.
Que bom se Elvis estivesse vivo, o sonho seria completo.
Agradeço de coração.
Um grande abraço.
Fique com Deus.
Estou trabalhando para voltar e colocar legendas em português em todos os meus vídeos de Elvis.
@@SpaGuy
So love.
So beautiful.
So much.
Very nice video Billy. I'm loving this series.
Awesome!!! Very Cool !!!
Hi Mr. Spa Guy,wow, it is very pretty there. That hotel building is very cool, so glad it is still there. Your channel is now my favorite!!🎶🎶🎵🎵😎
I love love love this video! I'm planning on going back there again really soon and I'm going to look for your mark on that bridge! The part about the restaurant, I didn't know about. It looks like Elvis is laughing in that picture, as are the two boys in the background. I imagine he could have been joking about "holding up this place", since he has the gun in his hands and is being led to the car by the police officers! One more thing, you remind me of myself and my son when you break out singing "Follow That Dream", because we do the same thing! I love everything you've done so far, and I can't wait to see the last part. Thank you so much!!
What a beautiful place
Spa Guy

You Rock...!!!

Thank you so much for this video Billy you are one amazing historian and a great investigative reporter I thoroughly enjoyed this upload as always you are so generous with providing lots of info on everything that you present for the enjoyment of Elvis fans it is all very interesting to learn all the things that happened while making the film I am not only an Elvis fan but I am also your avid fan take care in all your adventures God bless
Absolutely fantastic footage Billy! You are a Legend 👍🏻 I love your incredible attention to the details ...& true facts...that’s why I follow you religiously & find your videos so interesting 🧐
I look forward every week to watching your next intriguing videos on the life of Elvis 👑 as I’m a huge fan.
I’m a fan of you too now! 👍🏻🤩 Thank you Billy ⚡️
Follow that dream. Movie of Elvis. Thanks spa guy 👍👍
The sandy area where the fish camp/homestead was is such a beautiful area it seems a shame they let nature take it back over. “Too much pressure” and if you know that reference you know the movie😂😂. Thanks Billy🍻
Amazing! I wish i was there when ELVIS still alive! Great work!
Thanks Billy, very good videos, the best. BTB E G.
Great part 5. Like seeing the area. Awesome to hear from Billy Smith. Thank you.
Love this!!! Very cool❤️
Loving this series of video's you are doing for this Elvis movie. I love Follow That Dream. Just a feel good kind of movie. I am sad there is only going to be one more, part 6. How about when you do another live video chat, you talk more about when you did this series of video's. About going to the locations where it was filmed. Great story Billy Smith told. Funny. I also enjoyed the behind the scenes pics while filming the movie that you showed. Thanks again for all you do.
The 4 hour series will be out on the Weekly Spa Guy channel soon... This series was more to the pint that one is me investigating and more..
@@SpaGuy thank you!
That is so cool !! If I ever get to go see it in person I'll look for you note you left on the bridge . I'll take a picture of it and share it with you on fb . I love Billy Smith's story about how he played a part in the movie too . Haha ! He's so funny too !! That was kind of Elvis to buy the police officers lunch . Love it all !! Thank you Spa Guy for sharing this with us !! Great job !!
Great
Another great episode S.G. Thanks for the content!
Adorei o vídeo!! Você é sensacional, Billy, obrigada!😄👏👏👏👏👏👏
O Capitólio Fechado ajudou?
@@SpaGuy Sorry i didn' t understand your answer, Billy 😃 You asked me if" the closed capitol helped". I Don' t know if It was Something from the vídeo. But It came with a subtitle. 😄👍🙌😉
More Spa Guy Magic Thanks,Great Story with Billy Smith . Does Billy Smith still have those Balloons? that would make funny unique movie memorabilia!!!
Great part 5 plus the bonus of a bonafide Elvis story from someone who was actually there! Where else do you get that kind of detail? Top job Spa Guy! Thanks, Mike, UK.
That was no ordinary turn around that use to be a state road side park for rest and picnics for tourist.Those same kinds of parks use to be on every major highway here in Ga also.Not many of them left the state do not take care of them.
Cool 😎
Spa Guy
Good information
I wonder how many people has driven across that bridge non the wiser that Elvis shot a movie there? Yep, that pole looks old and pole's so last a long time unless wind or humans take it out in some way. It could have easily been made into a palm tree by the producers-so cool. Billy is a hoot, love him and loved that he was in drag-how about those balloon boobs, too funny! He is such a good sport and always so funny. That is so cool about the hotel and Elvis buying the police steak meals. Yes, the building isn't quite the same, but at least it is still there. Wonder what they do with all the hotel rooms? Love this video and I know there is one more to come, I hate to see it come to an end. But I know you will find something else of interest to us about Elvis!
I've seen that picture with Anne Helm but didn't know it was Billy with balloons under his shirt- he dragged up pretty good. LOL
Love it when you go have a look-see.. Know we are in for a puzzle piece

Hello Spa

HELLO ELVIS MERSSI
My DIAMANT FOREVER
I like the series very much. Billy, maybe you have done a video on this and I’ve missed it but I would like for you to do some additional videos on The Colonel. I watched your video years ago about The Colonels house before the demolition. Elvis probably made 150 to 200 million during his lifetime. Big The Colonel got 50% then why did he live in that crappy house. Did he gamble all of that money away? I saw where he was at the mermaid show so he must have been there for this filming.
Billy needs to re-create that look for the MMK channel and tell the story more in depth....in drag! Lol.
What’s up with the bags you showed? I never saw the movie yet? We’re they in the movie? I just love Billy and his family ♥️. Lol ballon boobs as props , that’s a riot hahahaha 🤔👍🏻. Billy was a good sport for sure .
Hi, cool
where you turned around, the production company had built that too get their trucks turned around, that is part of the old set
Han pasado 58 largos años🇨🇱🇨🇱😬
The original guard rail curved off, I believe
The rail was the original when I filmed this.. They have since put up new guard rails and moved the original to the location of the Follow That Dream Highway sign..
Man, Billy - how many miles do you put on the Gray Ghost in a year?! 🤔
About 50,000.. That was the previous Gray Ghost I have a newer one..
You didn't see the nuclear facility past the bridge on the left?
No masks. No gloves. No social distancing being observed. People eating in restaurants. 70,000 dead Americans and counting. Quite disturbing to watch. I hope you don't get sick because I really enjoy your videos. Stay safe.
Quit being a Dip man.. You do realize that these videos don't go from the camera straight to you tube right? the number dropped to 37,000 by the way and way more die from the flu.. This pandemic is minor at best..
He told you it was filmed in Oct
By Dip, I'm assuming you're calling me a dip-shit. That's ok, I still like your videos a lot. I meant 70,000 deaths nationwide, not only in Florida (it's now 72,000 as I write this). And no, I didn't hear him say it was filmed in October.
@@mikem3382 Sorry, as the writing of this the count has been revised to 37,000 and that number is like peeing in the ocean and claiming you raised the water level.. We have lost way more people than that from auto accidents, other sickness and suicide.. I do not believe this is nay worse than the common flu in killing people so wearing masks and such in my opinion is ridiculous and I will not be doing it..
👍
Just funny to learn Billy Smith did the Stunt for Ann Helm. That is Hollywood gimmick!
Elvis has a grill cheese ...3 officers steaks !
Guess he wanted something easy to digest.
Spa Guy, correct me if I'm wrong but I had read somewhere that in the early 60's, Elvis first experienced a little weight gain. In some of the pics his clothes seem to be a bit more filled out. Had you heard this before?
Elvis' weight varied from the early 60's for the rest of his life.. Up and Down..
💫✨💫✨💫✨💫✨
What part of Fl was bridge
First
Looks like the bridge Billie Joe McAlister jumped off
Did you know that a young Tom Petty met Elvis on the set of this movie?
Yes that story is in the series..
Dommage c'est pas en traduction française Pascale
I want to know how spa guy is not working for enterprise 👍🇺🇸
Great work.But i wish you would get a good camera man.
What?
Did you come through Dothan Alabama?
I didn't I came through Atlanta..
@@SpaGuy I've always wondered if Elvis and the guys took the Dothan route to get the the location in Florida. Never heard the story on that.
Yes sir I believe I would dress up as a woman to be in an Elvis movie I bet a lot of the police officers that guarded Elvis while he made movies I bet some of their families have signed autographs and stuff like that
🔱❤🔱❤🔱❤🔱
It's a shame they let nature take away of it
I enjoyed the video BUT respectfully asking other fans to not write on the bridge. Not any part of it. We have had problems with fans over the years damaging the bridge area. Please no graffiti. Please don't do it. Please. Thank you.
It is in the middle of nowhere why would you care?
@@SpaGuy Huh? First time I have ever heard you get nasty. Because I live in the middle of nowhere and have been working to take care of this site for decades. Take care.
