My kid and I were just talking about him and his band and how we would have enjoyed having more tunes from them to listen to but that what he gave us was pretty cool!

Thank you for this bit of history...I remember Buddy Holly, but didn't know much about him. I'm a little behind with my family here, so I'm trying to stay connected!

I’m old enough to remember a tad of this

My mother always had a small transistor radio under her pillow and she made sure we all had one of those little boxes

I remember the early morning hours of searching for station with that radio

Thanks for the memory and in light of the new assault on pbs npr

I grew up right down the street from him - but I wasn’t cool enough then to have any idea. (Now, of course, that's all different: Cool at last! Oh, yeah.)
