    Re: Dick Grob Bringing Elvis Home Interview with Joe Krein


    DICK GROB ON THE DEATH OF ELVIS....AND BRINGING HIM HOME
    In this interview, EER's very own Joe Krein talks with Dick Grob who
    served as Elvis' personal
    bodyguard and Chief of Security. After Elvis' death, he remained with
    the estate for a time as
    Director of Security, working directly for Elvis' father, Vernon
    Presley.

    Here, Grob tells about the death of Elvis and the events surrounding
    the task of bringing Elvis
    home to Graceland for the very last time.

    PLUS! After this, we will be airing a new interview with Nancy Rooks
    who tells a different story
    about bringing Elvis home.....who's memory is right? YOU decide!

    Only on Elvis Express Radio June 6th..............Don't Miss It!

    Dick Grob is being researched at this time.
    From what I understand, I'd rather trust Nancy Rooks.

    As much as Grob likes to think he was Elvis's security chief, the fact is that Sonny West held that position. Grob's told so many lies that I think he's startin' to believe himself.

    Agreed Tony

    It seem's alot of people in the EP world try to act like they were more important than they really were. Grob is a prime example of that IMO.

    That's Wanda June Hill's website.....she's another one that I definitely don't put a lot of stock at all into believing what she's wrote about Elvis. If her supposed 'tape' conversations with him were true why does she not make them public?

    For real. I'm sure if it were true, she would make a pretty penny off of them.

    Of maybe, if she is telling the truth, they are somewhat scared to her and don't want the rest of the world to have the taped conversation she had with Elvis.....

    Guess it goes both ways, you can never be too sure with people saying stuff in the EP World all the time just for the attention..

    Not so sure why she doesn't sell the tapes, but she did mail a book out free when she found l couldn't afford one. Not saying l believe everything, but you never know whats true or not.

    That's true. I can understand why she would not want to release the tape if she indeed has it....

    she has said that lisa has been sent copy's of the tapes, but lisa never got back to her so that puzzles me if that part is true or not.

    That's not Wanda June Hills site. It's Maia Christianne's.
    Maia had it long before Wanda was there .
    Both are nice people though. Even when I told them our views differered
    on some things, they didn't condemn me to hell.

    I looked at the page, and read the letter from Elvis he wrote on August 3rd 1977 to her and found it interesting to say the least..

    Cameron, in your personal opinion the stuff was really written by Elvis ? And your thoughts on the tapes she supposedly has in her posession ?

    I sit here alone, thinking, watching how the moon’s light glows.

    Meditating upon the garden water there below,

    I’ve only just begun to spend my life, to have some fun-
    But as I think of all I’ve lost, the hurt hangs on; so slow to go.

    I’m now full grown and called a man-but really, is that what I am?

    My heart's so young, it feels like new-
    To think I’m getting old makes me very blue.

    Lord, Just let me laugh and be the clown I am.

    Please give me dignity and grace-

    So I can have the strength to face…

    These final days that seems to race…

    Let me have some time to do all I can
    So facing death won’t be such a task.

    Please Lord, thy will be done, that’s all I ask.

    I've no idea . I try to not judge too many people.
    Some of it could be true. It doesn't hurt anyone that I can see.
    I never got her book, but a friend of mine did and loved it.
    There's several people that claim to have been "telephone friends" of Elvis.
    The MM will tell you they're all lying, but IF you're not one of them, you're all lying according to them.
    Everyone's free to decide for themselves and Maia and Wanda will tell you that .

    Thanks Cam !!

    I see no harm in believing what they say. I mean it says that she told Elvis that she would never make a profit off of the their conversations and that he trusted her....so it could be true. And her not wanting to get rid of them or show them to the public if she is being honest about it all, then I tip my hat off to them for being loyal to their friend !!
    Is any of the interviews she did with Elvis even on print where we can read a little of them ?

    Some people like to keep things at a personal level, as it is so precious to them, and don't see any point in doing so.

    I like to compare her stuff to the song Wayne Newton sings.
    Supposedly, the words came from a note Elvis wrote.



    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    One more phone call from a friend
    Just to say how hard it’s been
    How their hopes and dreams have scattered
    With the wind
    They don’t see that I’m there too
    How it breaks my heart in two
    Just to make it through this night’s all I can do

    Help me Lord
    I need the sun to drive away
    The shadows in my mind
    Help me Lord
    I need someone to guide me
    When the path is hard to find
    Even though the crowd surrounds me
    I’m still standing all alone
    When I know I can’t go on
    Help me Lord

    As I awake again today
    And my pain won’t go away
    And the face I have to wear
    Shows a smile
    Now my nights are so alone
    I just wish I could go home
    I don’t know if I can make it another mile

    Help me Lord
    I need the sun to drive away
    The shadows in my mind
    Please help me Lord
    I need someone to guide me
    When the path is hard to find
    Even though the crowd surrounds me
    I’m still standing all alone
    When I know I can’t go on
    Help me Lord

    I feel so alone sometimes
    The night is quiet for me
    I’d love to be able to sleep
    I am glad that everyone is gone now
    I’ll probably not rest tonight
    I have no need for all of this
    Help me Lord

    Help me Lord
    I need the sun to drive away
    The shadows in my mind
    Please help me Lord
    I need someone to guide me
    When the path is hard to find
    Even though the crowd surrounds me
    God I am so all alone
    When I know I can’t go on
    Help me Lord

    Won’t you come and take me home
    Help me Lord
