Thanks for honoring my Uncle Buddy, and it is a good tribute to him. Dad, who just recently passed away was a main mentor for Buddy early on, and he followed Dad pretty much everywhere around Lubbock. And the love of music was in both my Grandparents, and his parents...his Mother was the singer along with her twin Sister Aunt Allie they sang duets all their life together, and Buddy had so many influences there at a very early age and more. Granddad loved to host the musical family get-togethers, as he loved music so very much, and he played his records as often as he could as I was a young boy in his music room, along with many other artists as well. I remember Buddy's room in that house, but it was built a little before Buddy's last year or so...so it would be another one that he at least would stay in between tours while in Lubbock. I remember the furniture in that room of Buddy's as it was there, his last bedroom suit in Lubbock which has been at the Buddy Holly Center here. Thanks for the tribute, and it was a good one, from Randy Holley.
I don't have to remind you Randy, your uncle Buddy was a genious. His music will never die. He was an innovative and inimitable talent. The Holly sound of the 50s became the British sound of the sixties, make no mistake. Many thousands of us in Britain worship Buddy and his music, and so many youngsters finding and loving Buddy's music and talent for the first time....love to all you Holleys!!!
@@kevincasson9848Thank you for that, and Dad used to say that his Innovation was one of the leading things he had going for his talents, and I agree, he was ahead of his time and made all of it all the more through that innovation for those that love his music. He loved the UK too as you all did him, thank you!
@@randyholley1959 Thank you so much for replying Randy... I'm just listening again, for about the millionth time, Buddy's appartment tapes. Wow!, wow!! wow!!.. his incredible, haunting voice, and clear crisp acoustic, guitar playing is phenomenal! It really, really is!!...Even the Beatles, at their prime, couldn't sound like that, and Buddy was just singing and playing into a tape recorder! It is unfathomable! I just can't understand that your uncle Buddy wasn't as big in the USA, than what he was in Britain, and the rest of Europe at the time...I am 57 years of age, and have tired of The Beatles, Stones, Bowie, Led Zepp, Black Sabboth, The Eagles, etc, etc. I could go on and on. However, I never, ever get tired of Buddy Holly and The Crickets!! Again thankyou so much for replying to my original comment. And again love and best wishes, to you and all the Holley clan in Lubbock! I mean it from the bottom of my heart!!!
Dear Randy. Thanks for sharing your memories with us. Buddy's music went around the world. My avatar is a pencil drawing made by my brother. I would like to send a picture of the drawing to your family. Greetings from the city of Itu - São Paulo - Brazil.
Hi from New Zealand, I'm a huge Buddy Holly fan, and made the trip to Lubbock to see the grave and museum. 16 hour flight, well worth it. Fell in love with Lubbock, going back again in 2024 for longer.
Love this! The music never really died because of the legacy of Buddy, Ritchie and The Big Bopper that still live on in the hearts of all of us who grew up listening to them, and who still love them. 🎶🎸❤️
@@anthonyangeli256 J.P. Richardson, or "Jape," as his friends called him, broke a world record in 1957 for the longest radio broadcast lasting over five days. This was a philanthropic effort for charity, after which he required hospitalization for exhaustion. I'd call that a legacy.
I live here in Lubbock, and that first house you showed, hardly anyone knows about it.. I have a friend that lives to the right of the house. And you gotta love the good ol West Texas wind lol. Buddy left a huge impact on not only Lubbock, but to music in general. One of the best to ever do it
Buddy Holly,...... What more can be said about the man that even 63 years after his passing, still influences so very many modern bands,.... Yes, even Batmobile. What is amazing is that when you watch a video of "I Fought the Law" by The Bobby Fuller Four, you not only hear, but see the strumming style of Buddy. The face of music changed during Buddy's brief career and has been credited by The Rolling Stones, Marshall Crenshaw, Elvin Bishop and so very many more notable bands through Rock and Roll and Rockabilly history that give Buddy the credit for their musical origins. What an awesome homage to the man, the music, the legend. We Grimmlins are becoming spoiled by these exemplary examples of reverence, respect and remembrance. Simply awesome M & J. Please keep them coming. Michael and Jessica, thanks for taking us along. As always,...... Happy Halloween!
Thanks for this, I'm in the UK and would love to visit these places, I grew up listening to Buddy Holly with my Grand Father and my Dad, both of them have passed away, I always say Buddy Holly would have been as big or bigger than Elvis, If he had lived longer, the legacy he made in 22 years is unmatched by any other musician and we lost a true great of rock and roll at such an early age, it's tragic.
Not bigger than Elvis he would have been.Look at Elvis´s career today , still lives on, still gets new fans everyday, his music still gets discovered by people everyday, his influences he had on other big artists are unmatched, and still does today, and it will go on doing just that everyday.I have all the respect for Buddy love his music, believe me.But nowadays you hear more about Elvis than about Buddy Holly,
I saw the onstage musical "Buddy Holly" while visiting London back in 1999. I wonder if the show is still in circulation 🤔. It was so much fun to see! I recommend it if it is still playing.
You are right about the wind. Every time I visit my father's grave the wind starts to blow. My daughter says it's my father welcoming us and telling us he misses us and he's glad we are there.
I've wanted to visit Lubbock very badly since coming to Texas. It just hasn't worked out yet. I have been able to visit The Big Bopper's grave a couple of times. He's in a nice cemetery with a historic marker. I just wish that the city of Beaumont would do more to honor him like Lubbock does for Buddy Holly. He was just as big a loss to Rock n Roll as the other 2 were. There was so much potential on that plane.
No matter what state of the world we live in or how your day has been, coming to this channel is just a doorway to find some peace and let oneself focus on what is in front of you - Many thanks to you two and this channel ! Fan from South Africa
Great job on this video. I was 7 years old when Buddy died so I don't recall the crash. But being a musician my entire life I realized what a tremendous loss it was for the world. Buddy was a wonderful new talent & he was taken way too early. Totally enjoyed seeing Lubbock & his resting place. You did very well paying homage to this extremely talented young man. What a terrible sad story. To make it so worse is the fact it could've been prevented. RIP Buddy. Your memory lives on forever.
Thanks for this upload, I'm from England, so it's unlikely that I'll ever get to visit Buddy's grave, Buddy's is still dearly loved in England and was such a massive influence on British music, Buddy's lived on, via The Beatles, Stones, Elton John, Marc Bolan, David Bowie, just to name a few, God bless from across the pond.
Listen to me, is my favorite. Buddy influenced so many artist. I played buddy for my son when he was just born. Sometimes I cry when I hear his stuff. Legends never die
Visited his airplanes crash site in Iowa a few days ago. RIP to all of them. I recommend anyone passing through that part of Iowa, its just off I-35 by Mason City to stop by. Clear Lake is a nice small town that has an Lake right next to it. How awesome is that.
Buddy is my biggest musical inspiration. Growing up I wanted to play just like him and write songs just like he did. To pay tribute to Buddy’s legacy, I wrote a song titled “Good Old Days” where I used many of his song titles to tell the story of young love and the past. Great video and thank you for sharing so younger folks will have a chance to keep Buddy’s music and spirit alive.
This is the most beautiful and most somber video associated with Buddy Holly ever, and it was touching when you showed where in his church they held his funeral. Buddy was a huge inspiration to a number of other artists including the Beatles.
Dan Blocker and Woody Chambliss on the walk of Fame is awesome ,Hoss Cartwright and Willie from Gargoyles. Loved that the preacher gave y'all a tour of the church how cool is that. I was so impressed by the interesting and respectful tribute to Buddy Holly in your video.
My father and his wife just celebrated their first anniversary. They are both in their 70s and chose to travel to Lubbock to see the town and things of Buddy and the other artists. They were there yesterday so this was so wonderful to see. Y'all are always so respectful and that shows the beautiful character of you both. Ty for all of the hard work you put into this channel. We can "walk history" with you and that's very cool and an awesome gift. Blessings to you both.
Being an older adult, I really enjoyed your video. I was always aware of him as a child and enjoyed his music very much. I particularly love the way you and Jessica show such deep respect for the people you cover on your videos. Thank you for the look back at part of my childhood. Stay safe my friends.
As a massive Buddy fan, I must caution you. "The Buddy Holly Story" is shamelessly full of inaccuracies. Watch the documentary "The Real Buddy Holly Story," hosted by Paul McCartney for the truth. "Rave On" biography is also a good read.
Such a tragedy to lose such great musicians at such a young age. I recognized a couple of the names on the wall that you didn't mention, "Dan Blocker" who played "Hoss" on Bonanza and G.W. Bailey who played "Rizzo" on M. A. S. H., the "Captain" on Police Academy, the "Security Guard" on Mannequin and his most recent he was on the TV show The Closer.
My mama was like 8 and my father was 15 at the time and they loved him! I mean, what a legend and imagine how big he would of been if he didn't pass. Same as the singer alliyah who died at a young age in a plane crash. Great video ❤️
An incredible man, Buddy was... He created track layering in music production, which is now the standard for all music recording--- seriously a man that got into the "molecules" of music in a passionate way.... Such a great on the road trip episode for Buddy, and an informative one, as well... Thanks, again, GriMMs for another trip down Rock N RoLL Lane..... all is Love..... :^)""""""""
I thought this was awesome. Thank you for doing this video. Buddy's brother Larry passed away in April 2022. Buddy's sister Pat was missed out of this too. It would have been nice to see the pilot ( Roger Peterson ) get acknowledged too.
Buddy is worth the wait! I tried numerous times in 2010 to visit the various “Buddy” sites in Lubbock. The 3rd time was the charm! I made it to his grave, his high school, and his museum. At that time, the museum had his original bedroom furniture on display. It was set up exactly as he left it before he moved out of Lubbock and hit the big time. Mac Davis was another big music star who was from Lubbock, and Natalie Maines from The Dixie Chicks is also from Lubbock ❤️
Update: I was able to visit the Buddy Holly Center again on 7/15/2022 and it was breathtaking to see his guitars and his glasses again. Many improvements have been made in the exhibit. If you’re ever in Lubbock, stop by!
Thank you Michael for another great video!! Such a great statue of Buddy!! He was a great singer!! RIP Buddy!! You will never be forgotten!! Much love Michael to you and Jessica!! God bless both of you!! 💙💙🙏🙏🙏💖💖❤️❤️💜💜🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸😢😢😢😢
Thank you for this video guys! My dad was a big Buddy Holly fan. My dad passed away in May aged 83, in his last few days I played Buddy’s music to him, he reacted to it by raising his eyebrows, so I knew he was loving it. At his funeral we played Rave On.❤ I just love Jessica’s dress in this video. Love your videos, keep up the good work. Sandra from UAE XX
Like Buddy, your Dad only left this earthly plane. He's up in Heaven with all his family & friends. You'll see him again in heaven. But this time he's not gong anywhere! ❤✝
I was only 1 years old when Buddy holly died, but as child in the 1960s . Im glade radio stations played his songs .So Im glad to listen to his great music .For eternity his songs will drift on ever.
we listen to all the singers from the 50's and 60's, this was my time, to enjoy all the great songs, i will chearish for the rest of my life. Buddy Holly? is one of my favorite singers, so lets all rock on? and never forget the joy he brought all of us.
When someone dies as young as Buddy Holly, you can't help but wonder about all they could have done and achieved had they lived longer, especially when they were as talented as Holly. It's quite possible he'd still be alive to this day if he hadn't died in that plane crash in February 1959. While there's no way of knowing whether he'd still be alive at almost 86 years old, one thing I'm sure of is that he would have given the world so much more amazing music had he been given more time.
Waylon was once one of the crickets. I’ve always enjoyed Buddy’s music he was a great artist and still to this day enjoy his music. Thanks for another great video!
The day the music died. He won a coin toss for his seat on the plane. His last words to his friend who lost the toss were, (jokingly) "I hope you freeze your ass off." His friend from the bus said in retort "I hope the plane crashes." He carried a lot of guilt for years for saying that. You two did this with loving reverence, thank you for that.
Thanks for posting this. I visited Lubbock a few years ago just to see the Buddy Holly stuff. This brings back great memories. I've been a Holly fan since I was a kid. It started because my dad liked him and introduced me. I don't think Holly gets enough credit, now days, for what he did, aside from musicians. He was such an influence. The first song the Beatles ever recorded was a Holly song, They even called themselves the Beatles because of the Crickets. Also, I just wanted to mention Bobby Keys. His name was on the wall of fame, next to J.I.'s. He was a musician that played with so many greats. You'd probably know him best from his horn playing with the Rolling Stones in songs like Brown Sugar and Can't You Hear Me Knocking, among others. He also played with The Allman Brothers, George Harrison, John Lennon, Humble Pie, Faces, Eric Clapton, Joe Cocker, etc. He was from Lubbock too.
You did an excellent and very respectful job of bringing me to see these sites connected to Buddy Holly. He is one of my very favorite artists. This was a great presentation. Thank you and your wife.
Aw…I just love you two! Jessica. Your dress is gorgeous! I need to go to Lubbock to see these sights. Much love to you both! Your respect for people and places you take us to is just plain honorable.~Your oldest fan, Tricia.🥰
I was born April 1959 but I remember listening to Buddy Holly, Richie, and the Big Bopper growing up had Buddy Holly 45's and albums great video tour :-)
I was going to pause this and read all the names on the walk of fame but I was afraid you wouldn't wait 🤣. You all outdone yourselves again this was definitely a joy to watch. Much love to you both. God Bless
Dude.. I grew up listening to buddy my whole life. When I was about 4 I asked my mom where buddy holly lived, and she told me buddy died in a plane crash. I instantly burst into tears, and my mom felt terrible. Today, every time I hear the song EVERYDAY, I can't hold back from crying. It is a direct connection to my mother. Before, adolescents, before girlfriends, before any disappointment, before you realized that your mom isn't a superhero. Before either one of us ever let each other down. Thank you grimmlife. Love you ma
Randy thank you for sharing such a personal story with all of us ! I was born in the 70s but got into buddy's music because of my dad . wish he could have lived to go to Lubbock Texas.
Thanks for this video! I’m watching this on what would’ve been his 87th birthday. I was born and raised in Lubbock and I always thought it was so cool to attend his middle school and high school. I enjoyed walking past his memorabilia they had displayed. And for my freshman year I had a class in his homeroom and for my sophomore year we played a couple of his songs in band. It was just so cool knowing he walked those halls and everything. I haven’t seen his grave and the museum yet(I was planning to go a few years ago but ya know covid) but once I get paid I’m planning on going back to Lubbock to see them! Great video!
I love your videos so much. Thank you 🙏🏼 for filling up our nights as we sit by our fire in New Zealand and binge watch all your videos. Love love love Baby Gaul xx
Buddy Holly was before my time. I do like his music. It was a tragic day. When his plane crashed. Taking a lot of talented people. From the world. I saw the movie. Gary busey played Buddy. Did a good job. 😢 Good work Michael and Jessica.
And it LIVES ON AND ON AND FOR ALL OF U...T.Y....BUDDY H..AND THE OTHER 2 LOST IN THIS PLANE CASHHHH......R.I.P.....ALL OF U......AND THAT be when I die........from Buddy Holley....
This is so cool I love your videos and how cool to have Buddy’s family comment on them. I am a huge fan of Buddy Richie and The big Bopper from growing up with my mum playing their music and watching your videos has taught me so much about their lives. Thank you. I wish I could one day visit the places that you have. Thank you so much for all the information. :) xx
Well Alright, Oh Boy, and Rave On!!! What an absolutely awesome, awesome tribute to the legendary Buddy Holly. I have always dreamed of making the pilgrimage to Lubbock, TX but due to failing health, that's unfortunately never going to happen. So thank you a gazillion times over for this feature, and creating the feeling of being right there with ya'll.
I absolutely love you and Jessica allowing me to live vicariously through you. I doubt I'll ever get out to Lubbock, but every year I post on FB remembering the day the music died. Thank you again.
Yesss.....that safes my evening ! Wonderfull video as always....i will watch this one again with my dad who is a huge Buddy Holly fan....when i was a kid he used to sing some of Holly's songs for me to put me to sleep .... i'm sure he will love your video. It's so sad that Buddy had to die this way 😪 . Thanx for uploading an sharing this with us . Shout out to Grimms..... 🤟 !
This was so nice to see... As someone who was born and raised in Lubbock, Texas. A True Lubbockite, It gives me Great Joy to know that others still care about the History that happens throughout the States.. There are many GREAT MUSICIANS that have came from Lubbock , Texas. Maybe that would be something you would like to look into... You would Truly ENJOY IT... Thank you so much ,for Showing A Piece of Lubbock's History.... Buddy HOLLY 🕶😎🎸 THE BEST... AGAIN THANK, LOVE YOUR VIDEO'S... UNTIL YOUR ONE, GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS... 🖐 CHOW.
I lived in Lubbock during the 90s and remember when they started to come around to the whole celebration of Buddy Holly. Its nice to see them honor a pioneer although it took them awhile to get there.

He created track layering in music production, which is now the standard for all music recording--- seriously a man that got into the "molecules" of music in a passionate way.... Such a great on the road trip episode for Buddy, and an informative one, as well... Thanks, again, GriMMs for another trip down Rock N RoLL Lane..... all is Love..... :^)""""""""
The Buddy Holly touring show in the U.K. is fantastic.
Love the guitar pick custom to show him love
That was really sweet how you got to show us his church and where his funeral was held fantastic video thank you Jessica and Michael
Awesome job guys. That Pastor was so nice. I appreciate you keeping the music alive!
I thought this was awesome. Thank you for doing this video. Buddy's brother Larry passed away in April 2022. Buddy's sister Pat was missed out of this too. It would have been nice to see the pilot ( Roger Peterson ) get acknowledged too.
Buddy is worth the wait! I tried numerous times in 2010 to visit the various “Buddy” sites in Lubbock. The 3rd time was the charm! I made it to his grave, his high school, and his museum. At that time, the museum had his original bedroom furniture on display. It was set up exactly as he left it before he moved out of Lubbock and hit the big time. Mac Davis was another big music star who was from Lubbock, and Natalie Maines from The Dixie Chicks is also from Lubbock ❤️
Update: I was able to visit the Buddy Holly Center again on 7/15/2022 and it was breathtaking to see his guitars and his glasses again. Many improvements have been made in the exhibit. If you’re ever in Lubbock, stop by!
Wish I could go back in time when life was simpler.
Thank you Michael for another great video!! Such a great statue of Buddy!! He was a great singer!! RIP Buddy!! You will never be forgotten!! Much love Michael to you and Jessica!! God bless both of you!! 💙💙🙏🙏🙏💖💖❤️❤️💜💜🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸😢😢😢😢
Thank you for this video guys! My dad was a big Buddy Holly fan. My dad passed away in May aged 83, in his last few days I played Buddy’s music to him, he reacted to it by raising his eyebrows, so I knew he was loving it. At his funeral we played Rave On.❤
I just love Jessica’s dress in this video. Love your videos, keep up the good work. Sandra from UAE XX
Like Buddy, your Dad only left this earthly plane. He's up in Heaven with all his family & friends. You'll see him again in heaven. But this time he's not gong anywhere! ❤✝
I was only 1 years old when Buddy holly died, but as child in the 1960s . Im glade radio stations played his songs .So Im glad to listen to his great music .For eternity his songs will drift on ever.
"Thatll Be the Day," is a wild song, capoed on the 5th fret. No one used capos back then. Great vid, thanks!
I’m really liking these walking history videos. Really enjoy the way you present the information and show historical sites.
Buddy, Ritchie and Big bopper pioneers of Rock-'n'-roll
we listen to all the singers from the 50's and 60's, this was my time, to enjoy all the great songs, i will chearish for the rest of my life. Buddy Holly? is one of my favorite singers, so lets all rock on? and never forget the joy he brought all of us.
When someone dies as young as Buddy Holly, you can't help but wonder about all they could have done and achieved had they lived longer, especially when they were as talented as Holly. It's quite possible he'd still be alive to this day if he hadn't died in that plane crash in February 1959. While there's no way of knowing whether he'd still be alive at almost 86 years old, one thing I'm sure of is that he would have given the world so much more amazing music had he been given more time.
Never heard of this channel before today. Was looking for Buddy Holly clips and stumbled upon this. And I like it. Respectfully done. Good job!
Gary Busey. Knocked it out of the park playing Buddy Holly. You haven’t seen the movie it’s sublime
It's a Great Movie!, Gary Busey is also from Texas " Baytown " here where I live!
I have to disagree. The script takes enormous liberties with the truth and was written based on one single piece of source material.
I saw Dan Blocker on the wall of fame. He was Hoss on Bonanza. That's pretty cool. Great video, as always, guys! - Sam
THANK YOU! IMAGINE THE MUSIC THE WORLD LOST, BUT LOOK WHAT THEY DID WHILE HERE.
GREAT TALENTS! GOD DONT MAKE THEM ANYMORE.
Waylon was once one of the crickets. I’ve always enjoyed Buddy’s music he was a great artist and still to this day enjoy his music. Thanks for another great video!
Sincerely hope yall enjoyed Lubbock!! ❤️
The day the music died. He won a coin toss for his seat on the plane. His last words to his friend who lost the toss were, (jokingly) "I hope you freeze your ass off." His friend from the bus said in retort "I hope the plane crashes." He carried a lot of guilt for years for saying that.
You two did this with loving reverence, thank you for that.
Thanks for posting this. I visited Lubbock a few years ago just to see the Buddy Holly stuff. This brings back great memories. I've been a Holly fan since I was a kid. It started because my dad liked him and introduced me. I don't think Holly gets enough credit, now days, for what he did, aside from musicians. He was such an influence. The first song the Beatles ever recorded was a Holly song, They even called themselves the Beatles because of the Crickets. Also, I just wanted to mention Bobby Keys. His name was on the wall of fame, next to J.I.'s. He was a musician that played with so many greats. You'd probably know him best from his horn playing with the Rolling Stones in songs like Brown Sugar and Can't You Hear Me Knocking, among others. He also played with The Allman Brothers, George Harrison, John Lennon, Humble Pie, Faces, Eric Clapton, Joe Cocker, etc. He was from Lubbock too.
You did an excellent and very respectful job of bringing me to see these sites connected to Buddy Holly. He is one of my very favorite artists. This was a great presentation. Thank you and your wife.
Aw…I just love you two! Jessica. Your dress is gorgeous! I need to go to Lubbock to see these sights. Much love to you both! Your respect for people and places you take us to is just plain honorable.~Your oldest fan, Tricia.🥰
I love the last mural because it goes from black-and-white to black-and-white with some color and then to color
I was born April 1959 but I remember listening to Buddy Holly, Richie, and the Big Bopper growing up had Buddy Holly 45's and albums great video tour :-)
Great video, when I go home to visit my family in Lubbock I always stop by to see all of Buddy Holly
I live in Brazil and I'd give my world to visit Buddy museum , his graves and the house where he lived!
His music lives on!!!!
This was amazing...beautiful....and well done. Thankyou for once again taking us on a journey of legendary musicians.
Love Buddy Holly!❤️
I was going to pause this and read all the names on the walk of fame but I was afraid you wouldn't wait 🤣. You all outdone yourselves again this was definitely a joy to watch. Much love to you both. God Bless
That will be the day the day that I die
To bad it came so true
Excellent video
Thank you
Dude.. I grew up listening to buddy my whole life. When I was about 4 I asked my mom where buddy holly lived, and she told me buddy died in a plane crash. I instantly burst into tears, and my mom felt terrible. Today, every time I hear the song EVERYDAY, I can't hold back from crying. It is a direct connection to my mother. Before, adolescents, before girlfriends, before any disappointment, before you realized that your mom isn't a superhero. Before either one of us ever let each other down. Thank you grimmlife. Love you ma
Love your videos, you are so classy and respectful of every place you visit. Thank you and keep up the great work!
Big Buddy Holly fan for years. Thanks Michael and Jessica. Love you guys
Randy thank you for sharing such a personal story with all of us ! I was born in the 70s but got into buddy's music because of my dad . wish he could have lived to go to Lubbock Texas.
That's so awesome, thanks for making this video guys! His music is always an inspiration to play the Fender Strat.
Thanks for this video! I’m watching this on what would’ve been his 87th birthday. I was born and raised in Lubbock and I always thought it was so cool to attend his middle school and high school. I enjoyed walking past his memorabilia they had displayed. And for my freshman year I had a class in his homeroom and for my sophomore year we played a couple of his songs in band. It was just so cool knowing he walked those halls and everything. I haven’t seen his grave and the museum yet(I was planning to go a few years ago but ya know covid) but once I get paid I’m planning on going back to Lubbock to see them! Great video!
I live 3 hours east of clear lake in Lansing. Love going to the surf ballroom and the crash site. The crash site is a very spiritual place.
Absolutely brilliant video, I'm always happy to see anything Buddy Holly related. Much love to you both and thank you for the videos. Rave On 🎸
I love your videos so much. Thank you 🙏🏼 for filling up our nights as we sit by our fire in New Zealand and binge watch all your videos. Love love love Baby Gaul xx
Buddy Holly was before my time. I do like his music. It was a tragic day. When his plane crashed. Taking a lot of talented people. From the world. I saw the movie. Gary busey played Buddy. Did a good job. 😢 Good work Michael and Jessica.
So cool to see y’all in my hometown, thank you for covering our local hero ❤️
Awesome video as always.
And it LIVES ON AND ON AND FOR ALL OF U...T.Y....BUDDY H..AND THE OTHER 2 LOST IN THIS PLANE CASHHHH......R.I.P.....ALL OF U......AND THAT be when I die........from Buddy Holley....
My 33 year old granddaughter loves his music.She has his music that she listens to.
This is so cool I love your videos and how cool to have Buddy’s family comment on them. I am a huge fan of Buddy Richie and The big Bopper from growing up with my mum playing their music and watching your videos has taught me so much about their lives. Thank you. I wish I could one day visit the places that you have. Thank you so much for all the information. :) xx
Thanks for covering the story of Buddy Holly, Richie Valens & The Big Bopper. I leave in Dilley, Tx. Once again Thank You

Well Alright, Oh Boy, and Rave On!!! What an absolutely awesome, awesome tribute to the legendary Buddy Holly. I have always dreamed of making the pilgrimage to Lubbock, TX but due to failing health, that's unfortunately never going to happen. So thank you a gazillion times over for this feature, and creating the feeling of being right there with ya'll.
Great job truly was the day the music died
I enjoy reading Texas historical markers. If you ever get back here there are so many great ones to read.
I absolutely love you and Jessica allowing me to live vicariously through you. I doubt I'll ever get out to Lubbock, but every year I post on FB remembering the day the music died. Thank you again.
