Adam Camp stands at the top of a heap of semi-retarded ukelele playing missionaries that have come before him. Starting at the introduction of a "Uke" to the boy by his great aunt Edith in 1921. The boy took to the ukelele with uncharecteristic zeal, quickly mastering both the inflection and tone from the difficult instrument. Brought to the stage by a young special ed. teacher in 1941. A frightened Adam ran away from his first public appearance. Yet returned once again the following year where he was recieved warmly by the Crowd at the Grays Harbor VFW. (Decca recording;1941 item-x4500021) After that slight misstep, the young (and semi-retarded)Adam found himself travelling 'round the clock and sharing his special gift with the world. This seminal man has since gone on to forge a catalogue of music that will surely prove that the name Adam Camp will stand the test of time and forever after be known as a euphimism for triumphing over the adversity of being semi-retarded.
