Buddy Holly died when the plane he was travelling crashed shortly after take off in Iowa USA. Buddy failed his draft physical because of his poor eyesight but he also had a stomach ulcer. His favorite style of dress was tee shirt and jeans although as a professional he was never seen performing on stage without a suit and tie or, in some cases, a tuxedo. Buddy Holly was the mentor of a Lubbock disc jockey named Waylon Jennings and even produced Waylon's very first record and got his career started. "PEGGY SUE": Yes, she was an actual person and the song was named after her. Peggy Sue Gerron attended Lubbock High School and was the girlfriend and eventual wife of Jerry Allison, Buddy Holly's drummer. THE LAST TOUR: Buddy married on August 15, 1958 and was living in New York City at the time he signed to headline the Winter Dance Party tour. He had recently split (amicably) with the Crickets and, for this tour, formed a new band consisting of Tommy Allsup (guitar), Waylon Jennings (bass) and Carl Bunch (drums). Following the performance at the Surf Ballroom in Iowa on 2 February 1959 Buddy chartered a Beechcraft Bonanza to take him and his new Crickets Band, Tommy Allsup and Waylon Jennings to Fargo, North Dakota. JP Richardson(The Big Bopper), came down with flu and didn't feel comfortable on the bus, so Jennings gave his plane seat to him. Valens had never travelled on a small plane and requested Allsups seat. They flipped a coin, Valens called heads and won the toss. The 4 passenger plane took off into a snow storm and crashed into a cornfield several miles after takeoff. The crash killed Holly, Valens and Richardson and the 21 year old pilot Roger Peterson, leaving Holly's pregnant bride Maria Elena a widow. She miscarried soon after. His music was said to have incluenced British artists such as The Beatles, Eric Clapton and The Rolling Stones. Don McLeans American Pie was famously written about Buddy's death. God Bless and Rest In Peace Buddy.

Christmas without you here with me,
can never possibly be the same.
But I carry an Angel within my heart;
one so precious, who has your name.
An Angel forever watching over me,
at Christmas time, and over the year.
Although you can't be here anymore,
inside my heart, you are so very near.
There is no special present for you,
wrapped up under my Christmas tree.
But I have a greater gift to give to you;
all the love you can still feel from me.
No, Christmas time without you here,
could not ever possibly be the same.
But, I have had the precious gift of you,
and the memories and love, will remain.

God makes little children
He makes them every day
And though He loves them dearly
He gives them all away.
He gives each to an angel
And says take baby down
To such and such a mother
In such and such a town.
Or such and such a cottage
In such and such a place.
He gives the angel with it
A big soul full of grace.
God does so love those children
It's all that He can do
To let the Angel take them
But he loves the mother's too.
And so he says I'll lend you
This little one of mine
The angel folds it's love
About the special gift divine.
The angel watches over
The child both day and night
So glad to see that lovely soul
All shining in God's light
God makes so many children
And every now and then
He seems to want one specially
We don't know why or when
He whispers to its Angel
Bring the child back to me
The angel sees a lovely sight
That someday we may see
It sees the souls of mothers
And fathers in God's light
Offering him tiny children
Whose souls are shining bright
God does so love those children
Whos souls are never dim
And how he loves those parents
Who give them back to him.

There's a very special place beyond the skies above
somewhere very peaceful that is full of light and Love
That special place is Heaven, where you're free to laugh and roam
it was your time to go there so the angels took you home
And though you're in our thoughts each day throughout the year
at special times like Christmas we all Wish you could be here
Now you're in a better place,your soul is laid to rest
safe with all the Angels for they only take the best.

FOR MONDAY
Everyday in some small way,
Memories of you come our way,
Though absent, you are always near,
Still missed, loved, always dear.
FOR TUESDAY
We who love you, sadly miss you,
As it dawns another year,
In our lonely hours of thinking,
Thoughts of you are ever near.
FOR WEDNESDAY
Always a smile, instead of a frown,
Always a hand, when one is down,
Always true, thoughtful and kind,
Wonderful memories they left behind.
FOR THURSDAY
No farewell words were spoken,
No time to say goodbye,
You were gone before we knew it,
And only God can tell us why.
FOR FRIDAY
Our memories build a special bridge
When loved ones have to part.
To help us feel we're with them still
And soothe a grieving heart.
Our memories span the years we shared,
Preserving ties that bind.
They build a special bridge of love
And bring us peace of mind.
FOR SATURDAY
I thought of you with love today
But that is nothing new
I thought about you yesterday
And days before that too,
I think of you in silence
I often speak your name
All I have are memories
And your picture in a frame
Your memory is my keepsake
With which I’ll never part
God has you in His keeping
I have you in my heart.
FOR SUNDAY
If tears could build a stairway,
And memories were a lane,
We would walk right up to heaven
And bring you back again.
Our hearts still ache in sadness
And secret tears still flow.
What it meant to lose you
No one can ever know.
But now we know you want us
To mourn for you no more.
To remember all the happy times,
Life still has much in store.
Since you'll never be forgotten,
We pledge to you today:
A hallowed place within our hearts
Is where you'll always stay.
♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥
bigs hugs from me to you and your
family and friends that you miss you ever day
but in our hearts forever you will not be

A long long time ago
I can still remember how that music used to make me smile
And I knew if I had my chance
That I could make those people dance
And maybe they'd be happy for a while.
But February made me shiver
With every paper I'd deliver Bad news on the doorstep
I couldn't take one more step
I can't remember if I cried
When I read about his widowed bride
But something touched me deep inside
The day the music died
So Bye-bye, Miss American Pie
Drove my chevy to the levee
But the levee was dry
And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
Singin' this'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die
Did you write the Book of Love
And do you have faith in God above
If the Bible tells you so
Do you believe in rock 'n roll
Can music save your mortal soul
And can you teach me how to dance real slow
Well, I know that you're in love with him
'Cause I saw you dancin' in the gym
You both kicked off your shoes
Man, I dig those rhythm and blues
I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck
With a pink carnation and a pickup truck
But I knew I was out of luck
The day the music died
Now for ten years we've been on our own
And moss grows fat on a rollin' stone
But that's not how it used to be
When the jester sang for the King and Queen
In a coat he borrowed from James Dean
And a voice that came from you and me
Oh, and while the King was looking down
The jester stole his thorny crown
The courtroom was adjourned
No verdict was returned
And while Lennon (Lenin?) read a book of Marx
The quartet practiced in the park
And we sang dirges in the dark
The day the music died
Helter Skelter in a summer swelter
The Byrds (birds) flew off with a fallout shelter
Eight miles high and falling fast
It landed foul out on the grass
The players tried for a forward pass
With the jester on the sidelines in a cast
Now the half-time air was sweet perfume
While the Sergeants played a marching tune
We all got up to dance
Oh, but we never got the chance
'Cause the players tried to take the field
The marching band refused to yield
Do you recall what was revealed
The day the music died
Oh, and there we were all in one place
A generation Lost in Space
With no time left to start again
So come on,
Jack be nimble, Jack be quick
Jack Flash sat on a candlestick
'Cause fire is the Devil's only friend
Oh, and as I watched him on the stage
My hands were clenched in fists of rage
No angel born in hell
Could break that Satan's spell
And as the flames climbed high into the night
To light the sacrificial rite
I saw Satan laughing with delight
The day the music died
I met a girl who sang the blues
And I asked her for some happy news
But she just smiled and turned away
I went down to the sacred store
Where I'd heard the music years before
But the man there said the music wouldn't play
And in the streets the children screamed
The lovers cried, and the poets dreamed
But not a word was spoken
The church bells all were broken
And the three men I admire most
The Father, Son and the Holy Ghost
They caught the last train for the coast
The day the music died
They were singing bye-bye,
Miss American Pie
Drove my chevy to the levee
But the levee was dry
Them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye
Singin' this'll be the day that I die.
