An article concerning a man and a guitar, no picture of the guitar. A link to an article about the guitar that doesn't have a picture of the guitar.

The only logical conclusion is no pics, no guitar.

R.I.P Buddy Holly.

That's pretty cool! Buddy Holly is the best and Sir Paul seems to have been pretty respectful about licensing his catalog since he bought much of it in the 1970s.

True enough. McCartney is a huge Buddy Holly fan and often cites him as a major influence on The Beatles. It's unbelievable how many songs he wrote that still hold up today, considering he was only 22 when he was killed in 1959. One of the first rock and rollers, along with Chuck Berry, who wrote and arranged most of his own music. Quite revolutionary in the late fifties. He paved the way for the self contained rock and roll bands that wrote and performed their own tunes. My band Rave On perform most of Buddy's catalog along with Roy Orbison's stuff and it's amazing the positive reaction we get from audiences all over the Northeast.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9pUcrL9 ... q-5V2mVpvA

I grew up in Lubbock Tx. and went to school with Jerry Allisons daughters.
Buddy Holly was not a local hero until the movie with Gary Busey came out. Then all of a sudden the city council got busy and put up a statue to him and made his childhood home a landmark. :roll:

Jerry Allison, how cool! Did you ever meet him or better yet get to see him play? His vocal on Real Wild Child is the definitive version IMHO. How sad about Buddy not being embraced by Lubbock until the Buddy Holly Story came out. Well as we all know " No prophet is accepted in his hometown"

Great clip! I also really liked the version of It's So Easy from PA you had posted. Talented band!

Thanks! The It's So Easy video was recorded at the Arcadia Theater in Windber PA. (about an hour east of Pittsburg and the birthplace of Alan Freed). We performed there in Jan. 2014 and sold out all 700 seats on a freezing cold snowy night. Great gig and a very enthusiastic audience. Made the 5+ hour white knuckle trip from Jersey through the icy Pennsylvania mountains well worth it. We'll be back there in August 2015 and hopefully it won't snow. :lol:

No I never did meet him or see him play. Except for country music there was not a lot of venues to play other styles. Many of the artists that came out of Lubbock (Joe Ely, Mac Davis, John Denver, just to name a few) went elsewhere, mostly Austin and the big cities.
