Your wide scope of interesting folk astounds JC, we actually just finished watching Paradise Hawaiian Style, I don't believe Jim did this movie, but it's a gooder none the less.💃

I visited Jericho hostel yesterday on Thursday, September 22, 2022. I even made a video about it. It was entirely due to your video which made me go. I didn't stay overnight there. I never stayed in a hostel. I slept at 2 am and am not used to sharing a room with other people. It was on my bucket list to visit Jericho hostel and I did it. God bless Jericho hostel. I love that building. One day I might stay overnight there. You are one of the greatest YouTube up loaders ever.

Great interview, very interesting guy. I'm a big Elvis fan---- of his recorded music since the early Sun days. Elvis the singer and performer, with his fantastic bands and great songs was amazing. However I definitely don't feel the same way about his movies, which I find to be totally lame, poorly written and acted, and unanimously mediocre. They were just pumped out on the Hollywood assembly line as fast as possible by Colonel Parker, to exploit Elvis's fame for as much money as he could get. Virtually all the movie songs are totally inferior to the great records he made on his own.
