Buddy Holly (September 7, 1936 – February 3, 1959)
“Buddy, I can still see you with that shy grin on your face Seems like your hair was always a little messed up, kinda out of place Now not many people actually knew you, or understood how you felt But just a song from, just a song from you could make the coldest heart melt“ Eddie Cochran, Three Stars

February 13, 1955
Elvis performed at the Fair Park Coliseum, Lubbock, Texas at 4.00 p.m.
The advertisement said: “Elvis Presley, The Be-Bop Western Star of the Louisiana Hayride, returns to Lubbock.”
This was the first booking that Bob Neal had obtained directly through The Colonel and the group was paid $350 for their performance and shared the bill with Charline Arthur, Jimmie Rodgers Snow, son of Hank, and Benjamin Francis “Whitey” Ford, a comedian and instrumentalist that performed under the name of “The Duke of Paducah”.
For this performance Dave Stone added a local aspiring country duo to open the show, “Buddy and Bob”. They were Charles Hardin Holley and Bob Montgomery and in addition to performing locally they had their own half hour radio show Sundays on KDAV where their repertoire was mainly country
(Holley’s mother always thought that Charles Hardin was rather a long name so simply called him Buddy).
If there was a single influence that indelibly shaped Buddy Holly’s life and music, it was Elvis. “Presley just blew Buddy away,” recalls Sonny Curtis. “None of us had ever seen anything like Elvis, the way he could get the girls jumping up and down, and that definitely impressed Holly. But it was the music that really turned Buddy around. He loved Presley’s rhythm –it wasn’t country and it wasn’t blues –it was somewhere in the middle and it suited just fine. After seeing Elvis, Buddy had only one way to go,” Rock and Roll. Buddy himself would later tell Billboard columnist Ren Grevatt that “without Elvis Presley none of us would have made it.“

[ad_1] Legendary American singer and songwriter Charles Hardin Holley — known to the world as Buddy Holly — was born on this day in history, Sept. 7, 1936, in Lubbock, Texas. The spelling change from Holley to Holly came about because of an error in a contract he was asked to sign, listing him as Buddy Holly, according to the website for "The Buddy Holly Story."As the fourth and youngest child in his family, Holly was nicknamed "Buddy" by his mother, who felt that his given name was too big for her young boy, according to Biography.com.ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1997, PRINCESS DIANA IS EULOGIZED AT HER FUNERAL IN WESTMINSTER ABBEYAs a youngster, Holly learned to play piano and fiddle, while his older brothers taught him the basics of guitar. His parents were supportive of their son's emerging musical talents, the same source indicated.The African American rhythm and blues that he heard on the radio influenced him, according to Britannica.com.  Buddy Holly and the Crickets (from left to right), Joe B. Mauldin, Buddy Holly (with Fender Stratocaster guitar) and Jerry Allison, pose for a group shot on the set of the BBC television show "Off The Record" during their U.K. tour in March 1958. (John Rodgers/Redferns)"Already well versed in country music, bluegrass and gospel and a seasoned performer by age 16, he became a rhythm-and-blues devotee. By 1955, after hearing Elvis Presley, Holly was a full-time rock and roller," the same source chronicled.The influence of Elvis made a huge impact on Holly, who was taken with the charisma and energetic, exciting sound of Elvis, said the New World Encyclopedia. Late that year, Holly purchased a Fender Stratocaster electric guitar and developed a style of playing featuring ringing major chords that became his trademark, which is most recognizable in the solo break in the tune "Peggy Sue," said Britannica.com.Elvis Presley made a huge impact on Buddy Holly.  Holly’s big break came when the band opened for Bill Haley and his Comets at a rock and roll show in Lubbock, Texas. ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY, MARCH 21, 1952, FIRST ROCK CONCERT HELD IN CLEVELAND, ENDS IN CHAOS, CONFLICTAs a result of this performance, Holly was offered a contract with Decca Records to work alone. However, early success as a solo artist eluded him, according to New Work Encyclopedia. It’s been reported that Holly's public name changed from "Holley" to "Holly" on Feb. 8, 1956 when he signed the Decca contract, the same source indicated.

Mauldin (1940–2015) is at far left.  (Harry Hammond/V&A Images/Getty Images)Holly formed his own band, the Crickets, and began making records at Norman Petty’s studios in Clovis, New Mexico. Among the songs they recorded was "That'll Be The Day." After the release of several highly successful songs, in March 1958, he and the Crickets toured the United Kingdom, according the website for "The Buddy Holly Story."Holly wed Maria Elena Santiago on Aug. 15, 1958 — and in 1959, Holly split with the Crickets and began a solo tour with other notable performers including Ritchie Valens and J.P. Richardson, the same source said.On Feb. 3, 1959, Buddy Holly, along with J.P. "The Big Bopper" Richardson and Ritchie Valens, died in a tragic plane crash.  Following the Feb. 2, 1959 performance at the Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake, Iowa, after mechanical difficulties with a tour bus, Holly chartered a plane for his band to fly between stops on the Winter Dance Party Tour, according to History.com. MEET THE AMERICAN WHO INVENTED THE ELECTRIC GUITAR AND INSPIRED ROCK ‘N’ ROLLHowever, Richardson, who had the flu, convinced Holly’s band member Waylon Jennings to give up his seat, and Ritchie Valens won a coin toss for another seat on the plane, the same source recounted.On Feb. 3, 1959, Buddy Holly, along with J.P. "The Big Bopper" Richardson and Ritchie Valens, died in a tragic plane crash. The crash happened a few minutes after takeoff from Mason City on a flight headed for Moorhead, Minnesota.  Photo of Buddy Holly and the Crickets, circa 1958.

Joel Painset - In tribute to Buddy Holly - covers
TRIBUTE TO BUDDY HOLLY En hommage à "Buddy Holly", pionnier du rock'n'roll aux multiples standards et au style si particulier, mes reprises persos de 4 tubes (parmi tant d'autres) de ce grand Monsieur : "It's so easy" - "Everyday" - "Words of love" et "Peggy Sue" "BUDDY HOLLY", nom de scène de Charles Hardin Holley, né le 7 septembre 1936 à Lubbock au Texas et mort le 3 février 1959 à Clear Lake dans l'Iowa, est un chanteur, guitariste et compositeur américain de rock 'n' roll. Il meurt prématurément à 22 ans, avec d'autres rockeurs, dans un accident d'avion le 3 février 1959, jour surnommé « The Day the Music Died » en anglais (« Le jour où la musique est morte »). "it's so easy» est une chanson de rock and roll écrite par Buddy Holly et Norman Petty. Il a été initialement publié en single en 1958 par les Crickets mais n’a pas réussi à se classer. C’était la dernière sortie des Crickets quand Holly était encore dans le groupe. Une reprise enregistrée par Linda Ronstadt est sortie le 20 septembre 1977 et a été un hit Top Five sur le Billboard Hot 100. "Everyday" est une chanson de Buddy Holly et son groupe Les Crickets. Initialement publiée sur la face B du single Peggy Sue sorti (sous le label Coral Records) en septembre 1957, la chanson sera aussi incluse dans l'album Buddy Holly sorti aux États-Unis en février 1958. La chanson a été écrite et composée par Charles Hardin (alias Buddy Holly) et Norman Petty. L'enregistrement de Buddy Holly et les Crickets a été produit par Norman Petty. "words of love" est une chanson de rock and roll écrite par Buddy Holly et Norman Petty. Il a été initialement publié en single en 1958 par les Crickets mais n’a pas réussi à se classer. C’était la dernière sortie des Crickets quand Holly était encore dans le groupe. Une reprise enregistrée par Linda Ronstadt est sortie le 20 septembre 1977 et a été un hit Top Five sur le Billboard Hot 100. En 1964, les Beatles l'ont reprise sur l'album Beatles for Sale avec des arrangements similaires à la version originale. "Peggy sue" est une chanson de rock 'n' roll écrite par Buddy Holly, Jerry Allison et Norman Petty, sortie en single en juillet 1957 sur le label Coral. Elle figure sur l'album Buddy Holly de 1958. Elle a été reprise par John Lennon en 1975 sur l'album Rock 'n' Roll. La chanson est dédiée à la muse de Buddy Holly, Peggy Sue Gerron. Elle est classée n°194 dans la liste des 500 plus grandes chansons selon Rolling Stone2, et a été introduite dans le Grammy Hall of Fame Award en 1999.

Right around the new year I got a Mari kick (in which I was driven to draw as many Mari Lwyd as possible). Dunno exactly why was that, except that drawing horse skulls is fun 😅😂🙈.

This should have been posted right around new year day, but then again better late than never 🤷🏽
