Enjoying Music North Camp Fuji, Japan


When we first arrived in Japan, no one had a record player. About half way through my tour, someone got a 45 rpm record played. Initially, we were limited on the records. I do remember someone had 'I'm Movin' On' by the Canadian singer Hank Snow. Another was Dance With Henry, by Her Nibs Miss Georgia Gibbs. This was during the time that Elvis Presley and Buddy Holley were attaining popularity. My mother rode to church with Laurence and Ella Holley and had written me that Buddy was "doing some singing out of town". When some of the people coming over had heard of him, I realized that my mother hadnt payed that close of attention as to what his parents were saying about his career.
