From Hans:



This is my good friend and partner in this big project, Ian Higham, sitting in front of the Buddy Holly statue in Lubbock TX.


                        Deutsche Übersetzung weiter unten !




Showing  this  would  not  have  been  possible  without  the

great  help  of  Hans  and  the  patience  of  his  family.



The  collection  is  now  on  the  site  for  you  to  enjoy.

Be  sure  to  look  at  Hans'  site  often  as  new  items  are

added  at  regular  intervals.

                  Große Sammlungen benötigen Platz.

          Dies ist eine Ansicht von Ian's "BUDDY - ZIMMER".

                      Mehr davon auf dieser Seite.



               All you see on this site is part of my collection.


                I do not have and will never own everything.



Ian's_Buddy_Room.jpgBuddy Room (2)



    It is just as important to have one Buddy Holly item and to

    treasure it as it is to have a large collection.



    I was born in 1944 and have been collecting since I first bought

    my first EP in 1958. I am lucky to have grown up in the 50's when

    this fantastic music began.



    My love of Buddy Holly & The Crickets music was immediate and

    enjoy it to this day and have formed many friendships as a result

    of a hobby that gives me a great deal of interest. 




Ian_Higham_Buddy_Holly_Collection.jpgIan Higham




    On leaving secondary school, I enlisted into the RAF. On completion

    of service I joined an electronics company eventually training to be

    a design draughtsman a career in which I remained till I retired

    in 2002.


    My good wife Denise knows my passion for my hobby and has

    always been very supportive.  



                 I hope you will enjoy looking at my collection.



    The main aim is to preserve Buddy Holly & The Crickets legacy


    for fans of the future who will not have seen many of these items


    for themselves.



                                                    Enjoy!



                                                Ian Higham

    Willkommen zu meiner Buddy Holly Sammlung, die ich gerne allen


    anderen Buddy Holly Fans weltweit zugänglich machen möchte.

All  dies  wäre  nicht  möglich  gewesen  ohne  die  großartige  Hilfe


von  Hans  und  die  Geduld  seiner  Familie.


Meine  Sammlung  ist  nun  auf  der  Webseite  zu  Eurer  Freude.


Schaut  bitte  oft  auf  der  Seite  von  Hans  nach,  denn  Ergänzungen 


werden  regelmäßig  hinzugefügt.

 



Ian Higham's Buddy Room (3)Buddy Room (3)



Alles, was Ihr hier auf dieser Webseite seht, stammt aus meiner


Sammlung. Ich habe nicht alles und dies wird mir auch nie gelingen.



 

Es ist ebenso wichtig, ein Buddy Holly Sammlerstück zu haben und


es zu hüten, wie eine große Sammlung zu besitzen.


 

1944 wurde ich geboren, meine Sammlung begann mit dem Erwerb


meiner ersten EP im Jahr 1958. Ich bin glücklich, in den 50’ern


aufgewachsen zu sein, als diese fantastische Musik entstand.




BUDDY Musical VisitorsBuddy Holly and Norman Petty impersonators from the BUDDY Musical London Cast visiting Ian's Buddy Room. They were absolutely delighted seeing so many items in good quality.




Meine Liebe zu Buddy Holly & The Crickets war spontan, sie besteht


zu meiner Freude bis heute. Durch sie entstanden viele Freundschaften


auf der Basis eines Hobbys, das auf mich einen großen Reiz ausübt.



 

Nach dem Besuch der Oberschule wurde ich Soldat bei der Luftwaffe.




Ian RAF photoIan joined the RAF



Nach Beendigung meiner Dienstzeit wurde ich bei einer Elektronikfirma


zum Designzeichner ausgebildet. Diesen Beruf habe ich bis zu meiner


Pensionierung im Jahr 2002 ausgeübt.



 

Meine gute Frau Denise weiß um meine Leidenschaft für mein Hobby


und hat mich immer sehr dabei unterstützt.




BUDDY_London_with_MEHHere are the BUDDY London Cast Buddy's together with Maria Elena Holly, widow of Buddy Holly. You've just seen them in Ian's Buddy Room.



Ich hoffe, es macht Euch Freude, meine Sammlung zu betrachten.


Es ist mein Hauptanliegen, das Vermächtnis von Buddy Holly & The


Crickets auch für zukünftige Fans, die wohl sonst nicht viel davon zu


sehen bekommen würden, zu bewahren.




Das ist Ian HighamIAN HIGHAM in Dallas TX





 

                                     Viel Freude damit !


                                           Ian   Higham




THANX
