Hans Wessels uit Nederland had een droom die werkelijkheid werd. In 2009 reisde
hij naar al die plaatsen, die verbonden zijn met Buddy Holly.
Zie zijn fabelachtig foto verslag.
Hans Wessels, holländischer Fan von Buddy Holly & The Crickets, hat sich einen lebenslangen Traum erfüllt: Im April 2009 bereiste er viele US - Orte, die mit dem Namen Buddy Holly eng verknüpft sind und machte dabei tolle Fotos.
Hier geht es nun immer noch weiter mit noch mehr Fotos aus Buddy's Heimatstadt Lubbock TX, wo er nach seinem tragischen Tod begraben wurde.
Am Ende der Seite sehen wir einige Fotos vom Flughafen in Mason City, von wo die kleine Beechcraft Bonanza mit den 3 Stars in den Tod flog.
Lawson's Roller Rink - Lubbock TX - 2009
Buddy Holly spielte hier mit div. Musikern als Hausband. Später wurde hier der
Grundstein gelegt für die Crickets und ihren Riesenhit "That'll Be The Day".
Rock and Roll Great & Lubbock Native Buddy Holly played here with various musicians as the house band. Here, he refined his rhythm techniques and tested his songs. On February 25, 1957, Holly joined Jerry Allison, Niki Sullivan, and Larry Welborn (and later Joe B. Mauldin) to form the Crickets and record "THAT'LL BE THE DAY", which launched Holly's brief but meteoric career.
They write 'NIKI' wrong with 2 x K !
