Hi Joe ❤ This book is sad, they were so poor. I was a teacher and I would go into school early and feed the children that were hungry. I'd give them breakfast. Thank you for reading and performing for us Joe ❤
That happened to my mother who graduated in 1936 from ECTC teachers college in Greenville NC. They got no certificates and no money. She said back then you didn't ask for money because there was none. She lived on a farm, and had enough food to get by. My mother always said, people today have no idea how it was. There were bread lines just to get enough for a day or 2. But to show you how the strong survive she died in 2019 at the age of 103. So at 80 I am just beginning Ha. Thanks 😍
80 is the new 60!! Hehehehehe My Mom is 93 and She has kin that made it to 107 & 109 so she tells me that's what she wants to reach! So yes you can Too!
MITTE oh no Joe this is very interesting I want to hear about his mom and dad and how things were. We hear all about Elvis and his relationships all the time not much about his parents and grandparents so I want to hear it all. I have watched many videos on where he lived I've seen the homes the shotgun and project home I saw the stream he swam in as a boy it's all how Elvis became the man he was and it all fascinates me to me his life was so much more then movies and stage shows alone Love Listening to you read keep up the great work and keeping Elvis's life alive Joe
I love this book. It really makes you understand a lot of difficult times Vernon and Gladys went through and why Elvis was such a loving, humble and generous person. ❤
❤ Gladys’ supervisor actually did her a favor letting her go. I carried twins; I could barely walk through a grocery store the last two months. No way I could have stood on my feet through a work shift!😮 I have mourned their loss of Jesse Garon.😢 How devastating. Your encouragement on learning piano major chords is inspiring. Beautiful!❤ Mitte, twice!😅❤🎶✨⚡️
Thank you for singing “In The Ghetto”, it was gorgeous and you know it made me cry with your story reading of Elvis as a baby, and reminded me of being in 3rd grade with my one and only special 45 I listened to over and over with such love for Elvis and his beautiful voice and singing along…. I was also very poor, so that 45 meant the world to me! I so enjoyed you singing it, you really do that song beautifully, would you sing it on your other channel please 🙏🏼 if you haven’t already…. I understood your stories personally, as I thought of being little and having a wonderful Mom have to figure out how to feed four children on her own…. I’m so grateful to her…. I’m grateful for you….
MITTE! Glad you are reading this book. I love all this history on Elvis and I think it will be so interesting learning about his mom and dad. I’m already so intrigued.
Great book. New details and confirmed details. Love that she was able to interview people who WERE THERE. So sad the viewing of Jesse by little Catherine.😢 Also, Vernon's emotional side. They never forgot him. ❤ Nor have the fans 90 years later. Amazing. Mitte...Jesse❤
I noticed that and that’s really, really Sad!!😞 I know Riley was obligated elsewhere but Really?! She couldn’t at least make an appearance by all the technology we have today?! Zoom, Skype or something?! The twins are still minors so I get that but it’s truly very, very Sad!! 😢
My dad lived in the deep depression he has passed but I remember him telling me us so many stories about it , my dad like Elvis dad wrote a bad check and he went to prison for 2 years he said jobs was so hard to find, but he worked when I was growing up and gave us a great life !!mitte I love this book
❤ walking in Memphis, sounds great🎉, great community, that's how I grew up, ❤ the book, never knew this about jesse❤, I remember midwives, mom had all us that way😊, nice learning where he was buried😊poor Gladys, what a rough time❤ I can relate to being very poor😊, ❤ that song as the snow flies,❤🎉 good job singing playing🎉,❤❤❤ this book, Lotta insight on the presley lives, mom dad lived the depression times, they made dresses out of feed sacks, hardly ever had shoes, walked to school, very rough times😊could the certificates been their proof of teaching credentials?😊we had times of low food amounts too🎉it's easy to see how grateful Elvis always was, you just never forget this kind of life.❤🎉😊interesting book❤❤🎉thank you, what a wonderful lady Gladys was🎉❤I remember milk and ice cream delivery truck. It seems Vernon had some bad breaks.😊
MITTE, Enjoying this book Joe.As I've said before I am from a family of 17 children and I can relate to some of this .Your fairly nifty on that piano Joe👍🇨🇮
The teaching certificate is not a check. It is the license that allowed her to teach and be paid at a public school. She is saying that they were of no value at the bank because they were not paychecks or cash. (Judy C)
No marker for babies was not unusual in those days. Remember, many more babies died at birth or within the first day. Also, in the middle of the great depression there was no money for markers...not even a casket. He was in a dresser drawer until one of the men in the church provided a simple wooden box and one of the women provided a homemade quilt to wrap him in. They buried him the next day. I have been to the cemetery. There is a space among other family members' graves, that is believed to be the place Jesse rests. Vernon, Gladys, and Elvis knew where he was because they visited him down through the years. After Gladys' body was moved to Graceland, Elvis wanted to have Jesse brought there, too. But there was nothing remaining in the spot where he was buried. Remember, a wooden box, cloth quilt, a small infant whose bones were still mostly cartilage, not made solid yet, would have completely returned to dust...just as it is written in the Bible. (Judy C)
Billy Smith did a video on Jesse and his burial place. He states he knows where he is and no one will ever find him. (They were concerned after the fame that someone would disturb his resting place)
@@ccat148Yes I saw that too and it’s Sick that someone would even Think about stealing his remains for ransom! Our world is really, Really SICK! It would take a PSYCHO to do something like this!! The LOVE of Money is the Root of All EVIL!!! 👿
I'm likeing this book, I read that she didn't know she was having twins as she had no prenatal care, apparently they had to call the doctor back after deliverig Jesse, as Gladys felt movement, Cher covered that Marc cohn track too, lol
@ccat148 which one 12:20 I did years ago I was listening to radio station and I was doing a tribute to Elvis and that's what they said that he was born at 12:20 so all these years I thought it was 12:20 he was born not at 4:30 so now I have to reprogram my brain and say okay he was born at 4:30 a.m. in the morning
@@sherroncunningham7845 I had not heard 12 :20. I understand the reprogramming 🤣 I get so turned around with some of the recording session years and actual release dates! If I can picture him singing it at a concert and know the concert date it helps. I'm horrible with Elvis movie trivia. 🙄 Costars, etc.
@ccat148 Don't feel bad dear so am I I wouldn't have known the date either if I had n't been listening to the radio and they said Elvis was born at 12:20 a.m. and I thought yay I finally know the time he was born after all these years I find out he was born at 4:30 I sincerely hope by the time I end up in my '70s I don't find out that he was born at 6:00 a.m. if I do I'm going to scream lol laugh out loud You take care dear and God bless to one Elvis fan to another take care
Jesse was born alive, but only lasted a very short time. I have heard from those who knew the Presley's that they believed Jesse was breach and simply took too long to be delivered. The doctor was not with Gladys from the beginning of her labor. He was sent for by the midwife only after many hours of intense labor without making any progress toward delivery. (Judy C)
Elvis is also alive and his two younger brothers Tony and Jesse . It’s all been hidden from us . Many secrets in the Presleys but many of us know the truth. Join a group it will explain about the brothers. Fb has groups called Elvis and his brothers alive
I may be wrong, but I think Elvis' grandfather, Jesse Presley, lived in Louisville, KY. There was an article about Elvis coming to visit him. Also, the thought about Gladys having pre-eclampsia - that is not uncommon among pregnant women and the problem with her legs being swollen goes right along with the pre-eclampsia.That is a precursor to high blood pressure.🎉BS
Pondering….were the twins premature due to growth restriction or because Gladys wasn’t getting the nutrition and care that she needed? Carrying one is hard enough much less twins!
You just took me back to when i was young living in Perry County Ky there was eight chikdren and i remember my poor mother in the kitchen building a fire in the cook stove with coal my dad worked in the coal mines for awhile abd then went to driving a taxi and playing cards on the riverbank to try and feed us i wouldn’t change those memories for anything ❤
@@maryboucher5741 that’s so beautiful, sometimes those of us that grew up the poorest, had the most magical childhoods…. We had nothing, but I always say the same thing you did, “I wouldn’t change it for anything or anyone else’s” 🥹❤️
Hi Joe, If you read the book letters from Elvis, than you will find out more about Jessie. Also that Vernon was Elvis uncle not father. Elvis father was Virgil Presley, brother from Vernon.
Oh my Gosh!! I’ve been an Elvis fan for 56 years and I’ve never heard that one but I never read that book. Hard to believe that one, but we never know do we?! I personally don’t believe it. Virgil was a half brother to Vernon, fathered by Jesse Presley and an unknown woman to the best of my knowledge.
@@Sharon-Carrell Well Elvis mentioned this in the letters to Carmen in the book. Just buy it and we can have a conversation. I have to read it again,but its very emotional at some point in the book.
They say Jessie, Vernons father was actually a McDowell not a Presley, Jessie's mother Rosella never married so all her children took the Presley name. Ronnie McDowell often jokes "well maybe we are related" you never can tell. wouldn't that be something!!! lol ❤You'll have to ask him next time you talk to him.
Es tan triste la perdida del gemelo de Elvis ❤️, creo que él siempre sintió la falta de su hermano gemelo 😢. Me imagino a dos Elvis ❤️😅. No se habla bien del padre de Elvis ❤️ en ningún sitio, yo no lo haré porque es su papá, sé que amaba a Elvis ❤️ y eso basta. Ahora entiendo porqué Elvis ❤️ quería cuidar a su madre y se lo quería dar todo o al menos lo que pudiera.
You are awesome at everything Joe. Love your reading and singing. I believe Lucy story and Dara is a great writer. Stay warm and safe. Huge snow in Linden
Yes, unfortunately he did just like the book that I’m reading says. But he was born first and he was loved. And then Elvis was born after that 30 minutes later.
@@tristazerbe8119 I agree,it does sound like preeclampsia.Gosh it's Lucky that Elvis and his mum survived,having preeclampsia in a pregnancy can be life threatening to both a mother and her baby when it's left untreated.
I think you need to know what you’re talking about before you make a comment. I’m reading the book Elvis and Gladys and we were talking about the birth of baby Elvis and baby Jesse Garon.
La educación donde la dejas? Elvis ❤️ tuvo un hermano gemelo, y se está hablando de su nacimiento y su vida de sus primeros años. Dónde está lo enfermo?
Hi Joe ❤
This book is sad, they were so poor.
I was a teacher and I would go into school early and feed the children that were hungry. I'd give them breakfast.
Thank you for reading and performing for us Joe ❤
Another good touching book.
Gladys was a special woman.
Thanks Joe

I wish I was old enough to be alive when Elvis was born.
i had a friend that was a doctor and he said that young girls often cannot carry a child to term.
