AN UPDATE FROM GERRIT
Gerrit van Zoonen, ardent Buddy Holly fan from the Netherlands,
sent some photos for my website quite a long time ago.
Here you can find a link to the above mentioned photos
on my "old" website, chapter "BITS & PIECES (1)":
A screenshot of his article:

Now he contacted me again with an update of his
private "Crashroom", as he calls it:

ANOTHER 2024 TRIBUTE
(From Roddy's Group)
ONE MORE 2024 TRIBUTE
[ Sent In By Jamie (Baldy Holly) via Roddy Jordan ]
THIS YEAR`s TRIBUTE
(Thanx to Colin Davies and Roddy Jordan)
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.

WHAT IS ACTUALLY WRITTEN
ON THE T-SHIRT ?
I admit, it's not easy to read the writing on the T-shirt.
or whatever reason, you get distracted . .
Here's the solution for those who after 5 minutes of straining
still could not read the print:
HOLLYwood !

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!

https://youtu.be/sVhsO-Nbl5M
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".

Riverside Ballroom and the monument here:
