      I believe as you walk through the final resting places, repeating their names some of which may not have been repeated for many years somehow shines a light on their brief history in the living world.

    I live in a rural area and my Great grandmother is buried on a Ridge, or large hill. You can see for miles over rolling hills. I go there to unwind and de stress. I tell her everything and enjoy the beautiful view.

    Buddy Holley was musical genius. I grew up listening to his music thanks to my parents. He was ahead of his time with his unique style of how he would sing, unmistakable. The good really do die young.

      ​@@teomanvural897I think some are ahead of their time. Copernicus was one. Hey folks. The earth is round (though I believe that was fleetingly understood in ancient times). The sun does not revolve around the earth - other way round! I would count Leonardo Da Vinci, yes, Buddy Holley, and definitely Elvis Presley. Lots more. Anyone who sends our collective thinking in a new direction. I believe it's called a paradigm shift.

His story, which I already knew, was still very interesting. You ALWAYS put your own SPIN on things Arthur. That, and your voice, is what keeps people coming back, I'm sure!!!! Thank-You for this trip down "Memory Lane."

    EXCELLENT!!! JR Ewing - the man everyone loved to hate and couldn't wait to see him get his just dues. Larry Hagman was superb in that role. I never went anywhere on Friday nights until I watched the next episode of "Dallas". He IS a legend. Every time you hear his name mentioned, you immediately think of JR Ewing. I wish they'd bring back this series again!! They show so many reruns on TV, especially on ION TV, having "Dallas" back again would be a real treat.
    Thank you, so much, Arthur. This has to be one of the best videos you've ever done. They are all well worth watching but this one was long and very informative. Always done with respect and good taste. KUDOS to you!!!

    I really appreciate these specials and never miss one. Tonight I remember Freddie King especially. I met him in 1976 on a winter night he was playing at a Blues Club in Montreal, I was the Label Manager for the record company that was releasing his current albumn and he invited me back his dessing room for a chat between shows. What a nice man! He regailed me with so many stories of his travels through Europe during the years and how friendly and open he found the people in those countires. He had me hanging on every word. What a wonderful, gentle, freindly man. Incidently, I have never in my life heard any Blues Gitarist sound as sweet and perfect as he played that night. A great, great musician. I can't believe he was dead only 10 month after that delightful evening. It broke my heart. R.I.P. Freddie, thank you for your gift you shared so openly!

I appreciate you letting your viewers participate in contributing videos. There’s no way, especially with recent gas prices, one person could collect and share all the beautiful tributes shown in this latest episode by themself. Thank you for your dedication and commitment to honoring their memories and educating the fortunate people that have the pleasure of watching Hollywood Graveyard.

    Yep, seeing the grave of Jim Reeves (the man with the velvet voice) brings back great memories. I grew up with his music and is still a big fan of his songs, which I still listen to on a regular basis. On a personal note the plane accident that killed Jim Reeves and his passenger was ruled by the NTSB as pilot error. According to NTSB records Jim Reeves was a licensed pilot to fly small single engine aircrafts. According to the NTSB Jim Reeves did not have sufficient training to fly this particular aircraft, because it was much bigger than the one he has trained for. The investigation also revealed that when Jim Reeves entered the storm clouds, he asked the local control tower for directions and due to static or miscommunication, he turn the plane in the wrong direction and flew the plane into rapid rising terrain and crashed. My late mother was heart broken when she heard over the radio that Gentleman Jim Reeves has passed away.

    I had no idea of how many huge Superstars and legend's were buried in Texas. As a huge country music fan of the 50's - 90's it was a treat to see
    Charley Pride
    Freddy Fender
    Jim Reeves
    Ray Price
    And all the actor's and actresses buried in Texas. To be honest I didn't know that Powers Booth passed away so that was a shock. I say that this is one of the best videos and I need to say thank you to all who contributed.
    Wonder if Bonnie and Clyde ever thought that after nearly 90 years after they were gunned down that they would still be spoken of.
    May they all Rest In Piece and thank you for all you given us.

    I enjoyed this. My dad used to stop at these places when we had a road trip. I loved Old Yeller but I can’t watch it without crying.

    I’ve been looking forward to a new Hollywood graveyard video. Nice to see the final resting place of a (very very distant) relative- Larry Hagman.

    BRILLIANT! Thoroughly enjoy all your videos, Arthur, and this one was up to your usual excellence. I met Peter Mayhew once when he was signing autographs at a card and memorabilia store. My son was a huge Star Wars fan, so we made the trip to see him and get his autograph. I was struck by his quiet, gentle nature, and the fact that he couldn't have made a dime appearing at this little store, but yet, there he was, happy to meet and talk with anyone who wanted to see him. And I have a somewhat obscure connection to James A. Michener, in that he was originally from Bucks County, PA, where I live. In fact, I live on Michener Court! The county seat, Doylestown, is where my now-grown son lives, and Michener's name is all over the place.
    So many other names in this episode struck a chord in my heart, from Mary Martin and Larry Hagman (big Major Nelson fan!), Ben Hogan (wish I had his swing!), Dorey Miller, James "Dobbs" Hampton, Mac Davis (Lord, It's Hard to be Humble! and Baby, Don't Get Hooked on Me), to Freddy Fender, Charley Pride, Freddy King, 'Gentleman Jim' Reeves and of course, Buddy Holley. I could go on and on, but I'll just say that if I couldn't live here, I'd want to live in Texas.

    First, I would like to extend my sympathy to the people of Texas and the horror you have endured. My prayers are with you. On another note, the many memorials that have been mentioned here bring back many fond memories of my childhood. Some were quite surprising, and others quite educational. Thank you Texans for bringing your Texas best to the UA-cam screen.

    34:38 I have fond memories of Oliver and his song "Good Morning Starshine." My mother used to sing it to me iin the morning to wake me up for school. Oliver was before my time, but his song was a wonderful way to wake up. 🌞 Good morning, starshine! The earth says 'hello.'

    Thank you everyone who contributed to this special,with a shout out to the person who got the Lubbock footage:thank you Arthur for putting it first. Buddy Holly is so often left out from these tours. Also thanks to the person who filmed Dan Blocker's grave. He was my favorite character on Bonanza. Rest in peace all. As always, looking forward to the next one!

      36:30 Most amazign of all was oswlad fired all these shots when the scope was far off he couldnt see the target! It had to be remounted after the test firers stated this! Personally I would make sure I can see the target with the riflescope for anything! Guess he thought I dont need to see the target why both?

    Got a little teary eyed when you got to Dime and Vinny. I was lucky I got to see Pantera live way back when. Dime's death was so shocking and it devastated Vinnie who witnessed his brother's murder. May they rest in peace. Edit: spelling

    The Von Erich family's story is absolutely tragic. There was actually another brother that died in childhood, Jack Adkisson jr, who was electrocuted and drowned in a puddle in 1959, when he was only 7 years old. Jack is interred in the same cemetery as his brothers and parents, but for some reason he's buried with his uncle who died a year prior to Jack at the young age of 14. Their graves are marked uncle and nephew and they share a headstone. Out of the six Addkison/Von Erich brothers, only one, Kevin Von Erich is still alive and the only one to live beyond his 30s. Their mother Doris died in 2015, so like her husband, she also outlived all but one of her sons.
