Had it not been tm a leg injury early in his er have beard Jim sing profession H you were to talk to Jin Beeves, be would be the first to! admit thai, as a boy, be traded a| fesshd of pears for bis first guitar. He'd also admit that through the | years of boyhood and early man od he always hept his guitar bandy, even when he ittended the University of Texas, and later when he pitched in the St. I^uis Cardinals farm system. Some people feel that fate was unkind when Jim hurt his leg, but actually it wasn't, for Jim Keeves is a determined person, and he loved music and loved to sing. So, he decided to make singing his I life's work, and his success speaks | for itself. It was not easy, and the road to stardom was long and hard. It began with many years behind the turntables as a disc jockey. Then fate smiled when he made his first recording, for the song was "Mexican Joe" which turned out to be the number one country mus ic song of 1953. And, before a year had passed he followed this up with "Bimbo" and even greater success. Jim joined the Louisiana Hayride in Shreveport, and began touring not only in this country, but also in Europe. Later he appeared on the Ed Sullivan "Toast of the Town" show. He has been be stowed with many honors and tri butes, but being Jim Reeves, his greatest pleasure comes from meeting people and abiding by his favorite saying that. "A Stranger to Me is Just a Friend I Haven't Met." In 1955 Jim recorded another great song hit, "Yonder Comes A Sucker," and later that year reached the goal of every country music entertainer when he joined the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, Tenn. More great songs have fol lowed since then including "If You Were Mine," "I've Lived A Lot In My Time," "My Lips Are Sealed," "According to My Heart," his RCA Victor Albums, and many others. Ron Harpe, Centennial commit teeman, gets the credit for bring ing Jim to Morehead City. Mr. Harpe corresponded with Grand Ole Opry officials for nearly five months trying to get a name star for the country music show. The U.S. Naval Operating Base in Bermuda is situated on 225 acres of land leased on a 99 year rent-free contract granted to the U.S. by Great Britain during Workl War II. Jim Reeves, star of the Grand Old Opry. will be singing at tbe Centennial country music show Monday night, Aug. 5. The music show will mark the end of the second full day of Centennial activities.
