Couldn't let the fiftieth anniversary of the death of Buddy Holly and the always behind a comma Richie Valens and Big Bopper go by without mention. Fifty years seems so far away and I wonder how much Buddy's music means to musicians of today and just how long we'll have to wait for the next wave of guitar pop-meisters like Marshall Crenshaw to come along and make Holly's music relevant again.
While we wait, the guitars of "Maybe Baby" jangle through my head even though it's the sound of Jerry Allison's drumming that I love the most.
