THIS  YEAR`s TRIBUTE

(Thanx to Colin Davies and Roddy Jordan)


Buddy_Holly_Tribute_2024


This is the longest-running tribute in the world!  And it’s sold out every year.


About 65 songs are performed, covering all periods of Holly’s career (the Nashville and the 

apartment tracks are often the most popular), and of course some Bopper and some Valens tracked. 

Performed by the cream of the DC-area musicians 

(DC, Virginia, and Maryland is the home of some great rockabilly performers). 


JP McDermott, who started this event, now lives on the west coast, where he organizes a similar tribute.

HOLLYwood


I admit, it's not easy to read the writing on the T-shirt.

or whatever reason, you get distracted . .


HOLLYwood


Here's the solution for those who after 5 minutes of straining

still could not read the print:

HOLLYwood !




 GOOD   NEWS   FROM   THE   BLUEJAYS


( 2 Buddy Holly Covers Included ! )


"Love's Made A Fool Of You"

and

"True Love Ways"



THE BLUEJAYS - AIR-STREAMING with 2 Buddy Holly Cover Songs


A big THANK YOU to Ian Higham for letting me and you know !





BUDDY's  MUSIC  IN  ANOTHER  SONG 


During my work on the ever-growing COVER SONGS list, I use very different sources, as you know. 

A few days ago, I was pointed to a website that I had never heard of before; 

whosampled.com


You're still learning and that's a good thing.


I made an interesting discovery on the site

 in relation to the Buddy track "EVERYDAY"


There is a YouTube Video from 2009.

Pavement with "Silence Kit".

415,000 visitors up to date, wow!

They start with music, that is not the kind I like.

But, wait, at 1:07 you hear the melody of "Everyday".

A cover or simply "borrowed", I have no idea !





One of the last stops before Buddy's death




On 19 May 2021, an email arrived from my good friend Roddy Jordan, 

Australia's # 1 guru on Buddy Holly & The Crickets.


" An American mate of mine (Bill) sent these to me today.


He gave me permission to send these around so I thought you may like to see them. "


Many thanks to Bill for sharing the following photos and to Roddy, the "postman".
