lol excellent. That made me & my 12 yr old laugh. I'll keep that saying for another occasion 🙂

Thanks Andrew

Good ol Hank Williams

Big fan of your pop's vocal Brandon. Influence on me.

@thecricketssoundproject thank you for that. That's sweet. I feel like he had a lot of influence on me that's for sure.

@@earlsinks2666 Wish he had the opportunity to record more songs with them at the time. No doubt, Gen AI will do something along those lines soon.

@thecricketssoundproject the A.I stuff is a bit spooky with what it can do.

@@earlsinks2666 It sure is, some of the videos I've seen are surreal ! weird

Thanks Andrew, wish I could remix it, drums/bass not really defined as much as I now wish. Lost the recording session in Cubase, due to hard drive failure. Not to worry :-)

I wonder what he would have done with the Apartment Tapes songs, how he would have produced them, what instrumentation etc. We can but wonder. I think that was also his entry point into recording too, Im convinced he would have gone into the movies (he was taking acting lessons, photos done by NY photographer Bruno), and composed for film, he was working with Dick Jacobs, orchestration etc. He would have been a massive and powerful force in the music and film industry. Hans Zimmer of his time ?!

Thanks Keith. Yeh, it is indeed. And its so simple, that it is very hard to write songs so simple and memorable, as you'll know. Undisciplined songwriters, especially when starting out, are all over the place with melody, it takes time and effort to create a song which is catchy, albeit, simple, that's the beauty of it. Difficult but simple. I like Don McLean's version, also love Busey's version too, in the BH Story.

@@thecricketssoundproject Thanks for your in-depth reply,when you listen to his songs you think why can't I come up with something original but it always seems to be a copy of one of his tunes.

Thanks Andrew, an older demo from some years back.

I could never remember who sang with Jerry Naylor, thanks for info Andrew.

Thanks Andrew.

In heaven

@@thecricketssoundproject I know that but he wasn't Back then In the early 60s

@@kristopherguilbault5428 Joe B was either working at Goldstar, with Phil Spector or possibly in trucking, can't recall. The song/s were recorded under The Camps www.discogs.com/artist/2149715-The-Camps-2

I love BF's version. The bass fastens the pace of it, whilst retaining the other original elements.

Thanks for listening Dave, very much appreciated :-)

@@thecricketssoundproject Thank YOU!!!! Buddy would be Proud and Honored by this Song. I think that Buddy Holly was the Grand Architect of Power-Pop. He created what I call the "Pop Song Template", the Winning Formula for a Hit Song. I always tell People that without Buddy Holly and The Crickets, there would be NO BEATLES. Listen to "Three Stars" by Eddie Cochran, who Himself, Died way too young, the following Year after Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and The Big Bopper. Keep up the Good Work. You Guys are GREAT.👓🎸🎼🎵🎶🥁❤️⭐

@@DaveWarpony I agree Dave, without him, the others would not have been. Keep On Shining On ;-)

Thanks Keith, hope you're well buddy.

Fine thanks Pete hope you are.@@thecricketssoundproject

Many thanks Bruce, appreciated :-)

Treasures Charly, treasures to behold

Many thanks Charly. I have "Keep On Shining On" "The Ballad of Buddy Holly" and "if You Belonged To Me" on the UA-cam channel somewhere, Keep On Shining On is prob under Happy Birthday Buddy video, or in it rather.

Awe many thanks Simon. Your father is so lucky to have seen Buddy in 58. What a joy that would have been ! Send your dad my regards and envy :-) Best, Pete.

Yeh, it's just based around A minor Pentatonic blues scale, in the 5th fret and in the A chord.

@@thecricketssoundproject Ok, I don’t know my scales like I should but I’ll play around with it. Thanks.

@@travisowens8602 Do you learn by ear Travis ?

@@thecricketssoundproject Uhm, I can every once in a while but I’m not that great at it. It takes a little bit of both sight and sound for me.

@@travisowens8602 Eddie Cochrans "Milk Cow Blues" uses a similar lick, minor pentatonic blues scale in A. This fella teaches it, so you can see where he places fingers/frets, then listen to LMAFoYou and apply it to that. Keep at it, you'll get it once you see this guy play MCB's ua-cam.com/video/aJ0jgPpzKOg/v-deo.html

Big thanks for listening and comment, appreciated :-)

Thanks Andrew.

Many thanks MVJ. Appreciated :-)

C'mon Thomas, show us how it's done ;-) I'll keep waiting

Many thanks Marc. Cover versions (with Monetta) are here www.reverbnation.com/thecricketssoundproject/songs

@@thecricketssoundproject Thank you! 👍🏻😎

Excellent ! hang onto them too, gems ! David Box's UA-cam channel is great, one for the hardcore fans. I'll post link below

He was just so damn good Matthew, wasn't he ?! Apparently, he was also learning or took an interest in Flamenco guitar when he lived in NY. I personally feel he was heading into movies and would have scored for major films. He was taking acting lessons, had Pro photos done, and worked with String Orchestras. That would have set him on his new path in music. I think his session work on other artists songs were great, he was free to concentrate on them without singing himself. My other fav is Honky Tonk, which is exceptional. Jazz-Blues.

​​@@thecricketssoundproject I'm originally from Shelby North Carolina same as Earl Scruggs I'm glad people from other countries know about bluegrass I'm now living in Morganton NC

@@southernpride2003 Bluegrass, salt of the earth music.

Thanks buddy

Thank Simon. An old demo from some years ago. I intend to re-record it the way Buddy played it.
