Those were the days.Went to the Town Hall often in the late 1950's to see greats of Jazz etc Stan Kenton , Dutch Swing College.
So young & so good!The day the music died 3/2/1959
There is a group in Nashville that plays Buddy Holly and the Crickets songs and music. They sound very much like them and dress the same. Great to listen to and watch!My favorite singer "Buddy Holly", so sad as kid when he died, loved his music, still do, spent at least 3/- every week on juke box!! Sad old man now ....
Cheers Richard , will try to find them!!
