One of the classics Galty. Radio DJ's loved it, they called it the "Coffee Break" song as it lasted so long.

The really tragic thing was how young Buddy Holly was. Who knows how big he might have become if he's lived to old age.

Re: The day the music died

He was booked to play at the Apollo New York in 1957

Booked because of his music and them not knowing he was White.

The Apollo was for black groups to play to black abundances.

Curtains opened and the crowd went mad and protested about a white group playing there and booed them.

Holly said just let us play.

After they finished the BLACK crowd gave them a standing ovation.

Just maybe the start of the Martin Luther King movement.

From a Texas Boy.
