Nice aerial views of Tupelo Mississippi
Wow seems a nice place thanks for the Glory footage - keeping them coming were on lockdown soooooo bord 😮😁👍
Oh nice background music also 👏
I remembering hearing about this
years ago on an Elvis documentary 👍🏻. It was the only time I heard it mentioned. Good video be safe out there.
That documentary was probably "This is Elvis"
That's the one that changed me forever
Tupelo looks like a nice small town. I like small towns.
Thanks for another cool video Spa Guy, nice work!
My first trip to Tupelo was last June. Cute little town. Met you at the hardware store. I met Danny and Teresa...the 3 of you are very friendly and inviting .
Great video
I can't wait to visit Tupelo! Thank you for sharing! Interesting video as always!
That was supposed to say at these frightening bad times thank you respect to you and God bless
Wonderful to see
Absolutely amazing xxxx thank you from england
Hi Billy 😊, Thanks 😊 for sharing more Elvis History, Enjoyed video today 😊! Your friend Bonnie
I enjoyed that fly-over to the birthplace. I agree Tupelo is a beautiful town. As a Brit abroad, I've always felt safe when filming there and although it's changed somewhat with the Barnes Crossing area etc making it more commercial and attractive to businesses, the downtown area especially retains that classic smalltown America vibe that appeals to me so much. When you're in Tupelo Hardware for example, apart from us obvious tourists (☺) it seems the staff know all their customers personally.
The Spa Guy video’s are a remedial course in good manners. I myself, had great parents like Spa Guy but my yes sirs and yes mam’s have been few and far between until I started watching the Spa Guy! I use sir and M’am every day now because that’s the way we should talk to people. Elvis learned from what I’ve read, the E Am B7 blues chord progression in Shake Rag by African American blues musicians. I always believed that his time in Shake Rag is where Elvis learned his style of singing and guitar 🎸. “Baby What cha Want Me To Do” is a great example. Elvis has been accused of cultural appropriation by the millennial crowd wrongfully. If they did their homework they’d realize Elvis couldn’t take something that was already his! He grew up in it! 💙 TCB ⚡️
Thanks spa guy for another great video. From TN 😄
Hi Billy great video as always glad to see your doing alright
Awsome flight with the glory 😊
Thanks for the video
Thanks Billie
You are over the top high tech pal !!! Awesome Job!!!
so nice! a beautiful place and the sky heavenly blue! Take care dear Spa Guy
I really enjoy your videos. Oddly enough I was in Memphis and Tupelo in February doing my Elvis tours. I didn’t discover your videos until I got back to New York. That stinks because your videos would have been a good help in educating my sister who was with me who didn’t know much about Elvis. I know a lot because I’m a fan but I was explaining stuff to her. Great drone footage. I may go next June on your advice.
Hi, cool
You do a excellent job on these videos Mr. Spa Guy. Thank you for all the research and hard work in bringing us a bit of the Elvis puzzle and history. God's speed.
Hi Billy some great footage of the area! looks very pleasant!. i see you are not on lockdown there yet! so keep the good work up!. as long as possible!!..
I filmed this weeks ago..
Fantastic Billy!! Was at Elvis' birthplace many moons ago. Didn't get a chance to visit Tupelo properly. Loved the fly over. Didn't know I was so close. Much 💚 your way Billy.
Spa Guy
You're the man, thank you for this video ; you've shown a part of both the town and Elvis's history that remained too quiet.
Please I know that nothing is impossible with You, Could You make a video on Elvis his Gibson ebony Dove guitar ? the one that he had on Aloha from Hawaii and Madison square Garden and Gave on July 24th, 1975 maybe You could find the receiver or his relatives they would explain to us how it happened. thank you so much.
Wow, I love this video! I'm just getting around to seeing it for the first time today, but it's gotta be in my top 3 Spa Guy videos! Shake Rag...love the name. Thanks for posting.
Terrific! Always Very Informative and with Geographical references and info that are an added Value! Great Job as ALWAYS......AGAIN!
Cool history markers and great view of the area. Thank you Spa Guy and Trey.
Amazing drone shots. Can't wait to buy one for himself one day.
I went and explored Tupelo with my son because of you. You a phenomenal documentarian. I wondered if you have ever considered comprehensive longer timed documentaries of the things you have recorded. You have the equipment, the talent, certainly the voice, and the ability to create long-length documentaries. I believe you haven't begun to appreciate your potential to really do something bigger. You have the gift. You essentially are a director, producer, writer, editor and productionist.
I'm not gonna lie I broke out my air bass for the funky drone music. Great video with new stuff to me. #ElvisPuzzle
That is my latest creation for bed music..
How do you do it my friend Billy the Spa Guy I have no idea but you do everything to perfection. Wow that flight by the Glory fantastic. I went all around there when I visited Tupelo 2 years ago and loved it but this experience flying with the Glory was awesome. Coming back soon when allowed into the US and hopefully be lucky enough to catch up with you. Haven’t forgotten to get your autograph for my Elvis room. Thank you my friend. Thank you very much❤️🕺🏻
Mr. Spa Guy, Thank you for your always wonderful videos. I watch them every Monday and Thursday. I very rarely comment. I live in KY and a road close to where I live is called Shake Rag Road. How it got its name, back in the 1800's when people wanted to catch the stagecoach in that area they would stand and shake a rag to flag down the stagecoach, hence the name Shake Rag Road. Also my wife is from Nashville and her parents live in Westmoreland. Thank you and have a great day.
merci "spa" genial les images avec le drones ! Elvis protege l amerique c est sur !
This was so cool to learn about! I would love to go to Tupelo one day and this show festival sounds like a lot of fun. Maybe one day...Loved, loved, loved the Glory fly over! Thanks for the video Billy and Trey, I learned a little more about Elvis that I didn't know. It's amazing at all I am learning.
Tupelo ya say would be a good place to live.
Elvis born there I bet influences the character of the people.
In White Rock BC a small border city next to Blaine Wa. USA the train stopped with Elvis greeting the fans as he was traveling to Vancouver.
That spot needs a history sign telling that fact.
Keep history alive.
Elvis definitely deserves to be remembered where he was born & else where. The super star of super stars.
(Side note Billy did ya hear about Geneva Wood? She is a 90 yr old who got Corvid -19 at the Life Care Centre in Kirkland ( Seattle ) 2/3 of residents got it ...much death. Geneva & her children are praying people with lots of faith. She said she felt God's Presence with her in the room at night. She now is back home eating scrambled eggs & coffee !!! She had gone in the care home temporary to recover from a stroke.
Lots of web stories of Geneva and her faith to beat this Corvid 19. Incredible ! Oh her faith & medical team & her potato soup ...vs Corvid 19 . 60 minute match 1 fall. 1-2-3 Geneva pins Corvid 19 !!!!!! Hope ya do not mind me adding this in. Maybe like Elvis he "did it his way sometimes." )
Wonder if Elvis visited Tupelo much...like maybe he went for a 11pm drive & return to Graceland.
Think Elvis has fond childhood memories.
(Urban renewal)Thats what happened to many of Elvis’s old haunts in Memphis.
APRIL 5, 1936 - An F5 tornado touched down in Tupelo, Mississippi, forcing a 14 month-old Elvis Presley into the cellar with his mother, Gladys. Elvis’ father Vernon was out of town looking for work at that time. The twister claimed the lives of 233 people and remains the fourth-deadliest tornado in US history.
Around 8:30 p.m., the Tupelo tornado emerged from a complex of storm cells and touched down in a rural area approximately eight miles outside of the city. Making its way toward Tupelo, the massive tornado killed a family of 13 as their house was swept away, and injured many more before reaching Tupelo's west side. Retroactively rated F5 on the modern Fujita scale, it caused total destruction along its path through the Willis Heights neighborhood. Dozens of large and well built mansions were swept completely away in this area. Although missing the business district, the tornado moved through the residential areas of north Tupelo, destroying many homes, and killing whole families. The Gum Pond area of Tupelo was the worst hit. Homes along the pond were swept into the water with their victims.
The majority of the bodies were found in Gum Pond, the area which is now Gumtree Park. Reportedly, many others were never recovered from the pond. Reports were that the winds were so strong, pine needles were embedded into trunks of trees. As the tornado exited the city's east side, the large concrete Battle of Tupelo monument was toppled to the ground and destroyed. Two nearby brick gate posts were broken off at the base and blown over as well. East of town, granulated structural debris from the city was strewn and wind-rowed for miles through open fields. According to records, the Tupelo tornado leveled 48 city blocks and at least 200 (perhaps up to 900) homes, killing at least 216 people and injuring at least 700 people. The tornado destroyed the water tower and produced numerous fires in its wake, though overnight rains which left knee-deep water in some streets contained the flames. Though 216 remained the final death toll, 100 persons were still hospitalized at the time it was set. Subsequently, the Mississippi State Geologist estimated a final, unofficial death toll of 233. Some estimates indicate that the actual total may have reached 250 or more dead; few of the devastated black neighborhoods were thoroughly surveyed and their dead remained uncounted. Because newspapers published only the names of injured whites-a stark corollary of racial discrimination that even separated black and white relief programs after the tornado-it was difficult to follow up on the fates of injured blacks. Similar forms of discrimination persisted into the 1940s and 1950s, affecting documentation of tornado deaths even then.
The storm, despite its ferocity, left the home where Elvis was born relatively unscathed. The home stands today, much as it did in 1936, though the ceiling and roof have been replaced due to age, not because of the tornado. Not only did the storm rip through the town of Tupelo, but its 15 mile path affected rural communities as well. The morning after the storms rolled through Tupelo, other tornadoes developed near Gainesville, Georgia, claiming the lives of an additional 203 people.
Just found this on Facebook-interesting read-Godspeed, my friend!
Great vidio great insight I'm going back to Tupalo
Drone offers great perspective, thanks.
Yay Spa Guy!!
Please keep well!!
thank you spa guy
Woah! It’s been a lil bit since I tuned in. The Glory adds a whole new dimension to your videos! Next level! Great content, as always! Thanks for sharing!
wow!! how nice is that tfs....
Nicely done. Love the drone work.
Haven’t been through there in years.
Great job
How far away can Glory fly away from you? Thanks for the video!! As always, good stuff.
Is it known if Elvis ever stepped foot back in the birth house again once his family left it?
I love the way you always say that about the Elvis puzzle. So what happens when ya get to the end? Wouldn't it be wonderful if Elvis would just appear. And say, "Thanks Spa Guy." LOL Gotta laugh or else this stay at home junk will drive me nutty. Much love
I imagine theres a very good chance the Tupelo Elvis festival will either be postponed or canceled this year. "Birth house down here". Thought that meant the birth house was close enough to walk to from shakerag but after seeing your glory footage, i guess not!
Good vlog Billy👍🏻😎
Billy are there any pics from when Elvis was growing up and living in that area? I’ve seen some pics (not with Elvis) of that area, but wondered if maybe the family had pics during that time? If anyone can find out, YOU can! 😃
Great video again! Do you think they’re going to be able to have the Elvis Festival in Tupelo this June?
Awesome Billy! What kind of drone do you use you would be so kind, please. Thank you, my friend
💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝👑👑👑👑👑
I wonder where gladys and vernon lived when Elvis got his first guitar from Tupalo Hardware
This is so incredible... your flying skills incidentally are brilliant Billy 😇. I just feel so excited to see Tupelo in all its Glory. How different it looks now, contemporary and clean cut compared to the 1930s. My imagination has stepped into overdrive which it always does when you walk in EP’s footsteps. From his little house all the way to Shake Rag... the legend of Shake Rag that I have heard about is actually true. Thanks Sir Billy 😇
Did they build a Toyota plant in Tupelo?
great video billiy .... i always imagined shakerag was bigger than that...also what kind of drone did you use to film this video...im almost ready to get a semi pro. or pro drone...i will be using it to fly over my various vacant properties to make videos both for selling and for cataloging the properties...any suggestions will be greatly appreciated....also want to say hey to Trey
Curt I fly DJI brand drones this one is a Mavic Pro and I also have Phantom 4 Pro's as well but they are much larger..
thanks billy the Maverick pro was one i was considering buying...what is the range on that...as always tighten up and keep the great videos coming
They say 2 miles and it will if it is clear.. The Phantoms can do 5 miles.. But you are not supposed to fly out of your line of site.. You know I do though..
Weren't you trying to sell the gray ghost? I love the drone video! Great job!
Loved this.wonderful job guys.hey what is the distance your drone can go.that looked like a long way from where you were.
2-3 miles..
Interesting
More Elvis history. I love it. Thanks spa guy
Awesome! Never knew this much about Tupelo. Makes me want to go! The Glory has quite the range. How far will it go?
Open range 4-5 miles.. Tupelo is Great.. A place I would live for sure..
Spa Guy lol. What brand is your drone?
Unfortunately the June event will probably be canceled due to the corona
I hope not I am looking forward to it..
Omg! How cool...I was at the arena for a Trump rally in Nov last year. I wanted to get a room right there at the arena but they were sold out and I had to go further out of town to get one. So right there at the arena is shake rag...that is awesome! I wanted to walk thru town but after visiting the birthplace my family member I brought with me had to get back home so I missed out on so much. That town is really awesome. I agree with you a great place to live. God bless Spa Guy
Is that the original site of the birth house?
It's kinda sad and odd that people have to worry about being safe in America
Are any of his former houses in tupelo still there ?
Several yes..
Don’t think the festival is going to happen now 😪
I sure hope you are wrong.. I was looking forward to it..
@@SpaGuy They're making a decision in next few days. We were coming over from England so pretty cut up about it - plus I wanted to meet you!! 😊
I know there is always drone regulation everywhere. Do you get permission before hand to fly over certain areas... Or just go for it and hope you dont get caught.... and ask for forgiveness afterward.
Shake Rag was burnt
Great video again! Do you think they’re going to be able to have the Elvis Festival in Tupelo this June?
