~ Jamie, you and John are being very nice & diplomatic (and maybe too forgiving) about Graceland's acetate debacle. The fact of the matter is -- If the Graceland officials (who were responsible for purchasing their fake acetate) really wanted to continue operating in "good faith" (after their blunder was pointed out to them), they would have admitted by now that they made an honest error. However, by not admitting to their error, they are definitely being deceptive if they currently have that fake acetate on display, and still claiming that it's legitimate. 1:38
Hi, Paul! I definitely get that - we take that road we did for a few reasons: 1, because if they hadn't honestly transferred it, we'd have done part one and that would have been it, we'd have had a lot less information. 2, because they're the ones who took a pretty pricey bath with that thing on the road to getting us that info, and 3, because they get so many fans just jumping down their throat for everything (that's not to say they don't bring that mess on themselves more often than not, but still) that calmly explaining the situation has, imo, a better chance of potential resolution. More flies with honey, that kinda thing. It's the same reason I didn't get too belligerent with FTD until the Blue Hawaii Sessions, lol Plus, they should get their money back, imo. Barring that, I'd use that acetate to bring attention to forgery Elvis artifacts, as it could still be interesting in that way.
As I said previously. Check the Typewriter keys against the My Happiness photo. It’s like finger prints. Sam was cheap most likely had a Military surplus typewriter. And only only one.
Absolutely, Nick! Not sure if you saw my other reply, but the more both real and fake are looked at, it gets easier to spot the fake labels; I could even tell the difference now without needing the radio stamp or the typing. That's why it's nice to study these things up close like this. We'd thought about mentioning the type on these episodes, but left it off only because it's the hardest of the tells for the average person to catch quickly, especially looking (potentially) on a small screen (cell phone, etc).
Oh Wow …..nice to put a face to the voice I’ve heard quite a few times on TCB Cast ! Great to see Ryan 👍
Very cool! Yeah, it was great finally getting to meet Ryan in person! He'll be appearing a few times this season! 😁

@@EAPSociety Okay, Jamie. You always seem to win me over. 😅
😁 I love it! Also, it's likely we'll be headed to Memphis for Elvis Week, so hope to see you sometime while we're down there! 😁
@@EAPSociety I hope so!
