“The Day the Music Died: The Last Tour of Buddy Holly, the ‘Big Bopper,’ and Ritchie Valens,” c 1997, is sure the book to help me remember my teenage years. Marshall-Lyon County Library has this book, plus “Rave On: the biography of Buddy Holly,” by Philip Norman, c 1996, and the DVD “The Buddy Holly Story: Music Never Felt This Good,” c 1978. Several years ago I bought the CD “Buddy Holly & The Crickets: Greatest Hits”; it was recorded in 2008 in Ireland.
My shelf of 45s includes six with Buddy Holly and the Crickets. My favorite is “Oh Boy.” “That’ll Be The Day,” recorded in 1957, was his first big hit.
