Music History & Travel

Adventures

Billy films music history documentaries around the world — chasing the stories behind the legends, the places, and the moments that shaped American music.

Uncovering Hidden Stories

When Billy isn't running The Spa Guy or the Tiger Man Dojo, he's traveling — camera in hand — to the places where music history was made. Graceland. Sun Studio. The haunts of rock and roll legends. The karate dojos of Memphis.

His particular passion is Elvis Presley — not just the music, but the man, the faith, the karate, and the stories that most fans have never heard. Billy has spent years uncovering corners of Elvis's story that don't make it into the typical documentaries.

The result is a YouTube channel full of first-hand storytelling, on-location footage, and the kind of genuine enthusiasm that only comes from someone who has lived near these places and these stories his whole life.

The Tiger Man Connection

The Tiger Man Karate Dojo and Museum exists at the intersection of two worlds — Elvis Presley's deep love of karate and the Memphis music culture that surrounded him. Billy founded it to preserve and celebrate stories that most people have never heard.

Elvis practiced karate seriously — it shaped his stage presence, his discipline, and his persona. The Tiger Man Museum tells that story with artifacts, history, and the kind of insider knowledge that only comes from decades of research and travel.
