Don't knock Cracker Barrel, they have some really good CDs of music when music was music and not some screaming head and guitar beating moron. :D

It was Waylan Jennings that lost the coin flip I also believe it was the Big Bopper who wrote "running Bear" by I think Del Shannon. I love the old music and also a fan of Bobby Vee & the Crickets God bless the troops, who are now frighting for us and our right to be senile. Robert2854

I have a 6 cd player in the car...
#1 sugarland
#2 custom cd with the likes of johny rivers, the miracles, all 60's stuff
#3 Santana (ultimate santana)
#4 Moody Blues, days of the future passed.
#5 Everyly brothers
#6... well that is the anomoly.. Khalid North African Rai musician.

my farovite song, probably "sugar pie honey bun"... first song I learned to sing along to? Chantilly Lace by the Big Bopper, and I still remember it.

My first sailboat I named "Lollipop"... I love dble entendres.. :D
Secnd boat was named , "Dream" for the song. that has to be #2 on the fave list..

Chantilly Lace

Love is Strange

In looking at the list on YouTube, it amazed me how many of Buddys Songs others hcae copied and made hits. Brown Eyed Hansome Man, Tanya Tucker turned into a hit, Love is strange = peaches and herb..

I think I have all of Buddy Holly's songs on CD.

I have gotten very fond of one of the less popular ones called "Think It Over".

Richie Valens is fine but I only tolerate Croce as being OK.

From Waylon's official website:

Quote:

Waylon became the temporary bass player for Holly's band the Crickets, playing with the rock & roller on his final tour. Jennings was also scheduled to fly on the plane ride that ended in Holly's tragic death in early 1959, but he gave up his seat at the last minute to the Big Bopper, who was suffering from a cold.

All this talk of old music and musicians is bringing back memories of a former team mate, who was a part of the Spiral Starecase...their one big hit, "I love you more today than yesterday."

And....music that was not just like every other of the same genre.

You could tell Eric from Carlos from Smokey from just from the first opening bars of the music.

nope... never was much a fan...about the time they came out I was listening to David Allen Coe, Willy and Commander Cody. ;)

Besides the kind of dancing I like(d), jitterbug/swing did not lend itself to ZZ. :D
Bob Wills and Commander Cody sure did though.
