Topic History of: Buddy Holly lives on!

veritas	I attended the opening of "Buddy" here is Sydney 2 weeks ago. It's been back 3 times. I love the music-no story to speak of (poor lad was only on earth for a minute:( ). The original Peggy Sue attended...now in her 60's. What is amazing and something you forget is just how prolific Buddy Holly was. He wrote so many songs in his short time. If he had lived I think he would have been one of the world's greatest songwriters.
JK2006	So the question is - why is Buddy so remembered whilst others fade away? I suggest his songs were far better than many (especially Americans) realised at the time.
JK2006	To this day my most played CDs as I cruise Europe in the Rolls in the summer are by Buddy, Roy and Gene!

And who inspired Hank with the glasses? Yep - Buddy. He and Bruce Welch idolised Buddy! They also noted the guitar Buddy was playing looked amazing and had Cliff Richard order one from Fender direct... and so Hank ended up with the first Fender Stratocaster in the UK. Buddy sure had a lot to answer for!
