Reminiscing - a publication exclusively devoted to Buddy Holly and The Crickets, was first published as a newsletter and mailed as loose sheets. Only eleven issues were published in magazine form. Many of these issues contained previously unpublished (at the time) photos of Buddy Holly, along with a lot of new and other things. Previous wrapped sets of ten issues, all different from the 1980's are now out of stock. A number of stray issues are available and are packed four to a set. These are running out fast, so if you want some examples of Reminiscing magazine, this is the only way to get them.

Bill Griggs founded the the
International Buddy Holly Memorial Society in 1975 and
operated it until 1991. During the first few years, Bill
published a newsletter, Reminiscing, that was typewritten on
loose sheets. Later, it became a full-fledged magazine,
complete with pictures. Bill stopped publishing Reminiscing
in 1986 and began publishing Rockin' 50s magazine. Although
a few back issues of Reminiscing are available,
newsletter issues have
never
|
been re-printed with the exception of this
booklet. After newsletter issues 5 - 8 [your set 1977-1978] went out
of print quickly due to rapid expansion the second year.
Subsequently, the four issues were reprinted and bound with a soft
cover. These are the only newsletter issues that have ever been
reprinted. Remember, although this is a 40 page booklet, it is
simply a re-print of the four newsletters that were produced on a
typewriter, then photocopied. No photos but lots of stories, "Bits &
Pieces", and a "Showcase" section (interesting to see what prices
existed on Buddy Holly records and other items 25 years ago).
Highlights in these four issues are: ISSUE #5: Interview with Robin Luke, Interwiew with Buddy's widow Maria Elena, and the contents of Buddy Holly's notebook. ISSUE #6: Interview with Nikki Sullivan [part 1], Interview with Fred Travelere from the Buddy Holly Story movie. ISSUE #7: The Buddy Holly Story movie premier in Dallas, Interview with Nikki Sullivan [part 2], interview with Jerry Coleman of KLL Radio in Lubbock. Issue #8: Buddy Holly's funeral as told by Nikki Sullivan, Interview with Fred Milano of the Bellmonts, Interview with Fred Cohen and Steve Rash (producer and director of the Buddy Holly Story movie and much, much more. Mailed in a regular manila envelope.
