I wonder what path Buddy would have followed had Larry not lent him the money for the Stratocaster, clothes, car etc.. Larry is as much a part of the Buddy Holly Story as anyone. Thanks Larry & Travis and the Holley family !
I think we all owe your Grandfather a great deal of debt. Clearly, Buddy and his music may never have been if he didn't get the encouragement and support he was given by your grandfather. We owe thanks to the whole Holley family for the happiness Buddy gave us and future music lovers.
@@crosseyedone7960 thanks that's so nice of you to say. My grandfather was the best and I took care of him the last years of his life, and even then if he talked about Buddy it would bring him to tears.
I am very sorry for your loss. Its good to know that buddys family is still alive, I know what it feels to lose a grandfather because i experienced it. Sending love from Spain. Buddy is definetily my favorite rockstar.
Larry great interview with Larry Holley talking about Buddy, his brother. Larry Holley was a beautiful person and believed in Buddy and encouraging him with his music. Now Larry Holley is with the Lord, Buddy, his wife, mother and Dad and other loved ones. Buddy's music 🎶 will live on. God Bless 🙏❤️
Thank you Teri. It was one of the highlights of my life meeting Buddy’s family and working with them. What a blessing. I thank God for that opportunity. I’ve been to the gravesite and the plane crash. Very fond members of my interview with Larry. Thank you for your comment.
A kind gentle man. I love how he said he wants to see the LORD and his wife,parents, brother. He has that in the correct order I believe he is going to achieve his goals. May GODS RICHEST BLESSING BE YOURS SIR. ❤️🕊❤️🐑❤️⛪️❤️🇮🇱❤️🇺🇸❤️🙏❤️❤️🎯
Alvin, thank you for watching this special video and for your comment. God bless you my friend. Please share this story. This is the eve of Buddy's plane crash. His last concert in Clear Lake, Iowa, February 2, 1959 at the Surf Ballroom. About 1 AM CST they took off in a snowstorm from Mason City, Iowa, headed towards Fargo, North Dakota, and 6-8 minutes later he (22), Ritchie Valens (17), The Big Bopper, (JP Richardson 26) and their pilot, Roger Ferguson (21) all perished a single engine plane crash in a cornfield in Iowa. I've been to the crash site in Iowa, I've been to Buddy's grave in Lubbock. "The day the music died!!"
@@VoicesofHistory I appreciate your work. You have been doing an amazing job. The highest caliber, most interesting,informative and entertaining videos of their kind on UA-cam thank you 🙏 Larry ❤️🕊❤️🇺🇸❤️🗽❤️🇮🇱❤️🕊🎯
Mr. Holley's story is a great story, and makes the Buddy Holly story much more interesting than I had known it. Thank you Mr. Holley for your service, and for sharing parts of your journey with us.
I was looking for Buddy Holly content on UA-cam, in the way of documentaries and interviews. This didn't pop up until today. I watch content and listen to music every February 3rd, as well as on Buddy's birthday.
What made me watch this is because my uncle did our genealogy, family tree from my grandmas side. I found out that Buddy is a cousin. Watching this made me cry so much.
My name is Joe Reed, my mothers name is Imajean Holley. I am Buddy and Larrys first cousin and L. O. Holley is my mothers brother, Buddys dad. Thank you for this interview and making the time available with Larry to do it.
When Holley charter I bet he put down the weight of those two smaller guys and then he swap out for two real heavy guys. And they were seated in the rear seats causing the pilot not able to get lift in the tail.. thanks. Me thinks.

Thank you so much for this content ❤ the Holley’s really were something special every one of them.
I could talk all day about my time with the Holley family.
Such a cool recording! Thank you for doing this.
This touched me as an older brother. There's nothing brothers wouldn't do for each other.
Thanks for listening. The Holley family is close to me life and music.
I miss my grandfather(Larry Holley) more than words can say.
I lost my grandma in 2023, I’d like to hope I’ll see her again one day in heaven ❤

Pity the bit about Maria Elena was edited out (34:07)
Larry plays guitar?!?
Buddy's Brothers taught him how to play
When Holley charter I bet he put down the weight of those two smaller guys and then he swap out for two real heavy guys. And they were seated in the rear seats causing the pilot not able to get lift in the tail.. thanks. Me thinks.
That is possible.
I've often thought that there may have been too much cargo in the plane as well. All that laundry.
