A couple years ago the Belmont Theater over in York, PA put on "The Buddy Holly Story." The young man playing Buddy Holly did a great job. I'm just so disappointed that I didn't find out about the auditions so I could have a chance to be in the show. I tried to get the theater company in Chambersburg, PA to do it but they didn't get around to doing it.
"Not Fade Away" is my favorite Buddy Holly song.
Simple yet awesome.

I think Not Fade Away was one of the Stones' first covers. Holly's music to me is like the Beatles as not many bad ones. And they did a heck of a cover of Words Of Love (one of the first songs I learned on the harmonica.) True Love Ways was our wedding dance song. So much music written/recorded in such a short time…Rave On!

If you are ever in Lubbock TX you can visit this City of Lubbock, Texas - Departments | Buddy Holly Center
OP
Texas is next on my hit list. My oldest sister lives in Floresville. Her husband grew up over in Lubbock. Definitely a bucket list item. I had cousins in San Antonio, nice town back in the 70s.
My first thought when I saw the turntable was Buddy Guy.
Its hard to believe that it was 65 years ago that the plane crash that killed Buddy Holly happened. The Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake, IA is only 100 miles from me, Some of my older friends were there that night.
If you've never watched The Buddy Holly Story, check it out...one of Gary Busey's best roles for sure...

Busey nailed it pretty good. Yeah, one of his best.
Ditto this. Buddy did the best Mustang Sally.

My first thought was the definitely not easy listening Buddy Rich.
