[Misc] Buddy Holly

[Questions]

Just had an hour or so of him. Wow he’s so special. Just imagine what he would have become.

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

breaking news ……….. totally agree. And timeless.

 

[Questions]

That’ll be the day that when I die.
Like you say Dick ….. timeless,

 

[Stat Brother]

Yeah great track.

 

[Weststander]

BBC4 recently aired, a repeat, a Buddy Holly documentary. So talented.

Interesting times, innovative singers/musicians/producers creating a new music influenced by old American music across the racial divide.

Got the impression he was about to go solo.

 

[Ooh it’s a corner]

Magical!

 

[Questions]

Magical!

Beautiful

If he'd lived, probably a worn-out, bloated old has-been like Elvis - or a right wing, Bible thumping, rifle humping, Trump for MAGA trumping bigotted c**t. Or maybe just a boring old Country and Western bore. But he didn't and his body of work is pretty special.

No, VERY special, actually

Don't have any of his cds but this song popped up on a Mojo cd complied by Noel Gallagher, and I've always liked it:

 

[BadFish]

I love a bit of buddy holly.

Genius.

 

[Rinkmaster]

We have seen Buddy the musical a couple of times. Would see it again. What a talent he was.

You have a CD player?

This is probably the best recorded Buddy Holly CD you can get. MANY years ago it was being used at the big Hi Fi shows to demonstrate their systems.

You have a CD player?

Yes I do , aswell as a Squeezebox. The trouble with streaming "anything" is that sometimes I go... blank - while when I peruse my cd collection something often pops out at me to have a listen to or something on my many cd compilations (like my post above) sends me on another musical journey. Too much choice sometimes. Interestingly, the people i know who have binned their cds and only listen to music through Alexa listen to the same old shit all the time, their music tastes seemed to have narrowed somewhat.

 

[Comrade Sam]

Apparently he is available on vinyl as well!

 

[Jam The Man]

Got plenty of BH on vinyl and CD.
The first CD I bought in 1991 was ‘Buddy Holly Lives’

Quite possibly would’ve surpassed all who came after him.

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

A cockney once offered to buy some original, annotated sheet music I had for Holly's backing band:
Him: "How much..? £20?"
Me: "I was more thinking around £350"
Him: "350 notes! That's a bleedin' cricket score!"

If he'd lived, probably a worn-out, bloated old has-been like Elvis - or a right wing, Bible thumping, rifle humping, Trump for MAGA trumping bigotted c**t. Or maybe just a boring old Country and Western bore.

quite possibly considering where he came from Lubbock Texas.

But he didn't and his body of work is pretty special.

Indeed he was.

I had a poster up on my wall as an 11year old, initially I loved his early Rockabilly stuff and as I have grown older, I appreciate the way he adapted and changed to melodies and strings in his work. A massive influence on future boy bands like the beatles (I will never use a capital B for them as prompted by google)


I prefer this version
