[GreenKeys] TTY machine in music

[Bill Strangfeld]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Essex says Marines at LeJeune, not Navy --

 

Founding members Walter Vickers (guitar) and Rodney Taylor (drums) were
members or the United States Marine Corps stationed in Okinawa, Japan.
After being transferred to Camp LeJeune in North Carolina, they enlisted
fellow Marines Billy Hill and Rudolph Johnson as group members.  Next they
added a female lead singer, Anita Humes, another Marine.

 

According to
http://semperfisabrina.wordpress.com/2013/09/14/easier-said-than-done-anita-
humes-and-the-essex-1963-rb-and-the-marine-connection/ it was Essex NJ, not
the Essex CV-9

 

But it's still a song that brings a smile.

By the way...the song "EASIER SAID THAN DONE" by ESSEX

was based upon the "beat" of a TTY switching center where the

singers worked when they were in the Army.
