BUDDY   HOLLY

	HANS    editor of this Buddy Holly Tribute site
	Hello, my friends and comrade music-lovers. More than 2 years of targeted research here and there, as time permitted, went into my putting together this list of recorded songs, along with their titles and artists. Decades of published music history from Buddy Holly and other artists make up this list. The internet is full of lists, databases, and other forms of information. However, I have noticed that these lists are incomplete. Some of these sources seem to have started out with a bang, but then suddenly stopped before adding the latest items. By incorporating my own collection, which because of all the years and time invested might appear to be quite extensive, I have attempted to draw up as complete a list as possible.  I have thoroughly and painstakingly exhausted all available and existing information to my knowledge. Although the result might seem impressive, in actuality its' completeness is temporary. Only for the moment. Aren't we all lucky that new songs and artists just keep popping in out of the blue at random?  Our smorgasbord is infinite.  'Buddy Holly Reloaded'  (2010) as well as 'The Baldy Holly Band' (2016)  are a prime example of what can suddenly materialize to add a rainbow of joy to our ears and hearts.  Whoever wants to contribute and help to expand this comprehensive Buddy Holly database is cordially invited and encouraged to send me any information that you think I should add. After all, this is a work in progress. A never ending story. And I like it !   One last thing. If you see a mistake or error that I might have made, I would appreciate your correction with source mentioned, please.  Thank you so much,                                       HANS

HANS     Herausgeber dieser Webseite im Gedenken     an unser gemeinsames Idol BUDDY HOLLY

Liebe Freunde der einzig wahren Musik. Meine gezielten Recherchen haben mehr als 2 Jahre angedauert. Dabei habe ich Jahrzehnte veröffentlichter Musikgeschichte in einer Liste zusammengetragen. Alles, was von Buddy Holly und anderen Künstlern veröffentlicht worden ist. Das Internet ist voll von Listen, Datenbanken und anderen Informationsquellen, die aber fast alle vom Umfang her zu klein, somit unvollständig sind. Viele Quellen haben gut begonnen, dann aber irgendwann aufgehört, Neues hinzuzufügen.    Ich habe aus allen vorhandenen Informationen eine komplette Liste erstellt. Dazu habe ich meine eigene Sammmlung, die in diesem Punkt sehr umfangreich ist, in die Cover Song Liste mit eingearbeitet (Audiodateien von CD und Vinyl sowie Daten und .mp3 Dateien). Das Ergebnis kann sich sehen lassen, ist komplett aber nur als Momentaufnahme zu bewerten. Noch heute kommen neue Künstler hinzu, was ich sehr begrüße. So z.B. "Buddy Holly Reloaded" aus Hamburg mit ihrer ersten CD am 1. März 2010. Das ist schon lange her, aber absolut erwähnenswert. Genau wie die beiden CD's der "Baldy Holly Band" aus dem Jahr 2016. Wer helfen möchte, diese größte Datenbank der Welt  in Sachen Buddy Holly im Internet weiter auszubauen, ist herzlichst eingeladen, Informationen an mich zu schicken. Dies ist eine nie endende Geschichte, an der ich großen Gefallen finde. Das ist sogar viel mehr, eine echte Herausforderung für einen Fan der ersten Stunde. Wer für mich Berichtigungen meiner Liste hat, wird gebeten, dies unter Nennung der Quelle zu tun, damit dies etwas wird und bleibt, das in seiner Art einmalig ist und qualitativ meinen Ansprüchen an dieses Projekt genügt.                                           Herzlichen Dank !                                                    HANS

	Clarence "Frogman" Henry was a New    Orleans R&B singer. "Ain't Got No Home,"    from 1956, was his first big hit and the one    that won him his nickname "Frogman."     Henry could both 'sing like a frog' and 'sing    like a girl.'
