"Hear him tell his story" - we called it! The 1972 Interview footage will almost certainly be used extensively, and it's a perfect way to do it!

It's wild to look back! In June of 2023, we had 981 subscribers on the EAP Society YouTube channel - a year and a half later, we're up to almost 3900! Considering how (mostly) careful we've been to cultivate a positive space for people to learn about Elvis, this is really good growth (because less conteoversy = less algorithm attention). There's still a long way we want to go to get to our goals, but this is a great start, and I can't say enough how grateful I am to everyone who subscribed and are watching the videos!

Now, we're building the next steps for the channel and the Society, and (to start) I'm selling my music to do it! If you'd like to help, go to www.eapsociety.com and click on the "Fundraiser" button (or www.jakmusic.net/eapsfundraiser ) to look at the exclusive extended versions of my albums that are currently up - with more things to come. If this goes extremely well, we're even going to start looking for unreleased Elvis tapes to help get them released, so I'm excited about the possibilities!
