It’s good to see kids liking Elvis and knowing what true talent and taste is, and good clean fun. Unfortunately today, there’s much more than just simple music being sold to our youth. I’ve been introducing Elvis to my niece. For our ppl who pray and believe, lift my nieces and nephew up in prayers. It’s not easy being a child and coming up in today’s world. Thank you and God bless. Our Elvis believed in the love and power of prayer as well. Love our Elvis fans all around the world. 💕
I was just in Booneville. I grew up in those parts. Never knew any of that. Thanks Billy
Love seeing these actual landmarks of Elvis history. I can just picture him in that time and place.
What a lovely woman and daughter to show us these historic Elvis sites and wonderful that the restaurant owner allowed you in when they were closed. Elvis fans are the best. Nice work Billy!

Spa Guy for president!! Thanks Billy, you just keep the stories rolling!!
Nice seeing these places today and imagining what they were like when Elvis was there. Thanks Bill.
That Seth Auditorium sure has some mojo vibes oozing from that place, looking at the stairs in the back entrance you could just imagine the guys climbing up those stairs to do their show. Really good job Billy, you captured the moment.
Another historic Elvis video, and the little girl is a big Elvis fan! Thank you Spa Guy.

He was Seth ounces when he was born.... I had a delay in reacting because I was not expecting a joke.... It made me laugh out loud.... and it was not that great of a joke so hats off to you Spa Guy... That was great.
I love plays on words..

Obrigada Billy.

Wow, That's what a wonderful video. Thanks for the hard work that you do. I wish I could be with you in person. Everything is so cool. I Love Elvis Presley!!! TCB!!!
Thanks again for a wonderful video. Another poece of Elvis history that would be lost if not for you. A few years back; I bought several books about Elvis early travels called, Did Elvis Sing in Your Hometown, And Roadside Elvis. Has some great Elvis road trips. I would be glad to let you borrow them if you like. A lot of the places he performed in 54, 55 and 56 are long gone. But a lot are still there.
I live near where Elvis played the White River Water Carnival in 1955. It is still there and accessable. I have taken many pics there. According to the book Elvis Day by Day he was quite a controversy and a letter was sent to Col. Parker that his client wasn’t welcome back.
On the wall part that's a bad painting of Elvis, great to see where Elvis played in the early Days to a few hundred people . From there to 30 thousand plus seater stadiums. Great upload
Yep
Hi Spa Guy Another great piece of history like Elvis said he just wanted to sell some records I love it. Great work Spa Guy have a great day Joseph from NJ......
Another piece of the puzzle filled in. BRAVO!!
Cool thanks for sharing this memory with us of Elvis Presley 😎👍
What an interesting piece thank you for sharing ....one of the thing I love about your videos isssss you do your homework you don’t talk crap and you present the facts thank you sooo very very much
Thanks for sharing Billy, I really enjoyed hearing about the theater 😎
That's a rare one! Very cool.
Learning so many great things about Elvis. It’s so amazing to see all the many places he went and how much he accomplished in really a short time frame. Thank you Mr. Spa Guy for taking us places we would have never known about if not for your passion to get to know the real man and not the image..
Elvis was amazing.
More pieces to the puzzle👍
Thank you for sharing your journey with us
Top job Billy, thankyou
Thanks for tightening up on Seth Ounces!!! LOL.
Many thanks for sharing Elvis history and showing some really cool places. 👊✌
Wow time flies
I love how you just keep finding the most interesting stories. These are stories a lot us would never even know about and places I will probably never get to see. Once again thanks for taking us with you and thanks to all the ladies there in Booneville also that helped bring this vlog to us!!
I was never told any of this info all the years I lived in Booneville and performed live at Sadie's
Beautiful people, buildings and town of Booneville MS
Fantastisch

Dear Mr. Stallings, Thank you so much for writing this piece on the Von Theatre and Seth Pounds Auditorium. My late father owned the Von Theater when he booked Elvis there, and Seth Pounds is my late grandfather. My last couple of visits to the site of the Von were a little disheartinig, so I am pleased to see the building renovations completed, and much of the original brick remaining intact. He told me that television had started taking revenue away from his theaters, so he started bringing country and western revues to the theater to keep the theater financially viable. He had the likes of Conway Twitty, Buddy Holly, and obviously Johnny Cash as well as Elvis at the Von. He also had local acts that included Hayden Thompson, Lloyd McCullough, and Everett Clifton and gave them promotional backing. The best story he shared with me, was apparently Buddy Holly arrived in Booneville in less than good shape. My dad took him to his nearby men's clothing store and got him into a suit before he got on stage. Apparently, Buddy Holly skip town without paying for the suit or returning it to my dad, lol! As to one of your questions, I understand that the Elvis, Johnny Cash, David Houston Show got moved from the Von to the Seth Pounds auditorium because of very brisk ticket sales for the triple bill. Elvis did return at a later date as part of the music rotation at the Von. Still doing research on who all recorded music at the Von and I have found 45 size demos that were cut from the aforementioned local artist also known at the Driftin' Hillbillies. I also found in my research that David Houston, who was on the bill with Johnny and Elvis was a Canadian country music singer that went onto win a Grammy award in the country music category. It was truly the start of rockabilly at it's very grass roots, and I am so blessed that my dad was part of the music history in the making. Thank you again for your research, interest, and getting this done. Sincerely, Bill (Buddy) Crawford
Another great 'Paul Drake' detective job. Great video. Thanks for posting!
Many thanks for sharing Billy, Very interesting to hear about Elvis and the place in Booneville Missisippi he played and where it all started before he got fames.

I am new a new Elvis fan and it’s brilliant that you spread the history of a wonderful singer.
Hugs from across the pond.
Waiting for your next video.
I was a new fan 3 years ago and I have learned so very much from the Spa Guy! He is the best Elvis blogger out there in my opinion. He's so thorough and the time and research he puts into everything is amazing! He's truly a great asset to the Elvis community!
@@treshaford1 yes he is. I found Billy a couple of years ago and now I consider him a friend cause I’ve talked to him so much. And listened even more.
Another cool place in time! Thank you so much, Spa Guy! 🎶📀🎸
Thanks Spa Guy for another gem of a video.
I've been to Booneville but this is new to me.....interesting!
I lived there for years, performed 40 or more times at Sadies and nobody ever told me any of this. Unreal.
Great find Billy! Awesome !
Barbara private hi spa guy thats so cool ok the recordings of his heart break hotel ,I was born the following year in 1956 thats so cool bring it on the history will never dye out good one love it
Spa Guy,you are the most amazing Elvis gum shoe !
Man.... this was cool.....great find..
Wow Elvis played there on Jan. 17th , 1955 and I was BORN in Memphis on Tuesday, Jan. 17th, 1956!! :)
Thanks for sharing love learning about the history of Elvis.
That was, again, another interesting look into Elvis' early years. Von's looks to be one of the smallest theatres I've seen. He probably played the larger auditorium first because it was sponsored by the Kiwanis club. A year later, I'm thinking, he's got Colonel Tom helping with the booking. Larger venues may have been too expensive for Parker at the time. IDK - just a hunch. Anyway, thanx again for another fascinating glimpse into the early days. Also - did that radio station look like a mansion back then? That's a nice looking place for such a small town. Take care.
Cool video. Thank you to the Mathews' family and Headquarters, for sharing with us. Thank you Spa Guy for your time and work in doing these videos.
Thank you for another Great and informative Elvis video Billy😊
You are Awesome!! Also Thank You to Meka and Lizzie for there participation.
Really Enjoyed this and Thank you Again!! Tighten up and God Bless❤️
I am 48 years old, I live in Biloxi MS. The day Elvis died we were watching it on t.v and had to call for an ambulance for my aunt, she passed away a few hours later. Five months later on his birthday my sister was born, her middle name is Aaron. I am connected to a machine 18 hrs a day and my nurse also takes care of June. I am hoping I can go speak with her! I have always loved Elvis! Thank you for your channel, God bless you, Tonia
Thank You for watching Tonia!! Prayers for your healing as well..
Great video Billy...God bless you....curt
Another great video I enjoyed ! Thank you Billy
Thanks again for another interesting and informative video, putting the pieces of the early life together of such a great artist. Thanks also to the people that allow you to interview them and open up their establishments so we can learn a little bit more each time. Take care brother and YHVH bless.

Thanks Billy. Another great video. Well now I know another place Elvis played at here in Mississippi. You do an amazing job. I can tell you really love doing this keeping his memory alive. Really cool restaurant with alot of history. Thanks for showing us all these places Elvis entered in the door and made more history. Thanks again and thanks to those in Bonneville who helped you. God Bless you and safe travels as you discover more Elvis history.

excellent as always. thanks for sharing :)
Hello Mr. Stallings, I love all your videos and am happy every time a new story appears! They are exactly the insights into the unknown Elvis world that have always interested me. Two years ago I visited Memphis myself and searched a little for "the story behind the story".
I also like it a lot when you ask viewers to leave the evil comments and attacks behind and focus on the positive aspects.
Thank you and greetings from Germany
Kai
Another fantastic video Billy! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 thank you 🙏🏻😊💙
I love that you do this for Elvis fans you are awesome 😍😍😍
New stuff!!! Thank you so
much. You rock!!
Elvis got out & about abit - it's amazing - you ain't far behind Spa Guy 😁 ....great video
So cool that was amazing Spa guy I love your videos thank you for the hard work you do greatly appreciated my friend tighten up
Didn't think I'd miss that Seth Ounces joke did ya :-) Another good find Billy!
I hoped you would catch it!!
LOL
I agree Billy! Great find.
Hi, cool
Another great piece of the Elvis puzzle SG. The Headquarters (now) eatery is a cool place it looks like. The Pounds Auditorium is a neat place as well with the radiused entry ways by front door. Still working on the WayBak machine out in the shed here,,When it is functional we'll dial back to 1954 or little earlier and relive this cool stuff.
Hard to imagine how Elvis , along with the rest of the Sun recording artists were really revolutionizing radio music in this era. Found a local Elvis concert advertisement circa 1956 to play at a local Amusement Park/auditorium .The ad at bottom said" The nations only atomic powered singer" :) Thanks again.
Awesome! So great this place is still there and the owners know the history/keep it alive. :) Seth Ounces... hahaha
you should do a story on Oklahoma city Auditorium he played there in April 1956 Its still there and people still play there Great video again thanks
Every Elvis Spot is on the list..
@@SpaGuyAwesome cant wait I know there was a lot of protest from the Church here back then. They had know idea he was a man who loved Jesus
Makes you wanna click your fingers and go back in time , just the people that’s missing
Elvis tightened up and sold some records...and then some!!
Indeed he did..
Wow, what a great video Spa Guy ❤, a lot of history here, and what a lovely lady, luckily a lot has changed since then, two separate entrances, you can't imagine that now. And so Elvis also performed a couple of times with Johnny Cash, two legends in my eyes, they both had such a special charisma and face. Thank you Spa Guy for all you do, know that you are appreciated.
Did you see the couple that had a color video of Elvis in early years just starting out in Texas? I am going to see if our sports arena in Savannah is still there. It is where Elvis played in 1956 here.
Well done again SG. That was a lot of walking to wear off that floor surface!
Great
Great video. I wonder how much they earned a show in those days.
Thanks for this. Very engaging as usual. It would have been great to see Elvis play in such a small venue. Now I'm going to Google Brad Paisley to find out who he is.
I wonder how many little towns Elvis visited over his career, It has to be thousands.
There are a bunch.. I will cover as many as I can in my travels.
Interesting. I heard Elvis also may have done shows in Missouri before becoming famous nation wide
Qui è nata la storia
"Seth Ounces when he was born." HA!
Nice work Spa Guy and everyone else involved in this video.

Hey bill. What I'm going to say has nothing and about elvis Presley playing in the buildings. Do you know that when vernon and the family left tupelo and moved to Memphis he left some depts so they had to move in the night time. But vernon had planned to come back and pay the debts he had left behind. I think when elvis Presley come back in 55 and 56 elvis paid the debts.
Did you know Vernon wrote a bad check in Tupelo at a local grocery store for food b/c they were hungry and he went back to tell the owner he found some work and would pay him back but the owner pressed charges calling him "white trash" and Vernon was sentence to serve a year in Parchmon prison and released in 9 months due to good behavior? My step mother worked at Parchmon at the time of his arrest.
Not one thing you said there is true except Vernon went to Parchman.. here is what really happened.. ruclips.net/video/rjTrpjw9-dQ/видео.html
@@SpaGuy I will relay your message to the source who gave me the info about Vernon (Charlene Presley) who was married to Harold Ray Presley, Tupelo Sheriff murdered and cousin to Elvis
"He was Seth ounces when he was born". 😂😂🤣😅
Clearly he was!!
In 1955 I THINK Scotty was doing the management and bookings(Correct me if Im wrong) and I wonder how Scotty found these places to play their Gigs?
Ive played alot of different sized clubs and venues in my time, so I would guess the acoustics in that odd shaped red brick building with a high ceiling probably werent that good.
I wonder what type of a P.A. system they would have used in those days? I have seen pictures of a few speakers back then and they werent very big. Like at the Tupelo out door concert, he sang through sound HORNS instead of speakers. Hahahah Man they were gritty and over modulated. BUT Elvis still sounded good with his blue velvet shirt on. LOL I guess they didnt even have monitors on stage back then, as in some videos we can see Elvis with his finger in one ear trying to hear his own voice over the sound of the band and screaming fans. :)
That could possibly be some thing old musicians like you & I would find interesting, the types of PA & amps they used back then in a video. (?)
Thank you for all these videos guys, Yall are the best! :) Herb
