I love Buddy Holly. If anyone ever looked at my CD collection, & played any of the ones I've burned myself, they'd think I was schizophrenic.
One of these days I'm going to have to drive down to Lubbock and go to the Buddy Holly museum there.
The last few times I was in Lubbock was with my mom when she was getting eye treatments. We drove by the museum each time and I noticed many of the surrounding businesses had BH-related names. One I distinctly remember was an auto-body repair. "Body Holly". lol
I had a cousin who dated a girl named Peggy Sue. I also remember the first time I ever heard BH; it was from some .45's that were at my grandparent's house, not for sure whose records they were, probably my uncle's. (and he's like 65+ now)
Thanks for posting!
