Sent in by Buddy Holly fan Günter from Steinhagen in Germany. A German Internet radio station RMN Goodtimes has an own music mag and in the issue 5-2011 they published an article about Buddy Holly, the Lubbock legend.

Hier ist ein Teil des Inhalts des Musik - Magazins GOODTIMES, das vom deutschen Internetradio RMN Goodtimes herausgegeben wird. Hier etwas aus der neuesten Ausgabe 5 / 2011. Ein Artikel über die Lubbock - Legende BUDDY HOLLY. Herzlichen Dank an Günter für diese interessante Information !

Editor note:

During my vacation at the Germany North Sea coast, I saw a boat in Carolinensiel,

a romantic village with 3 harbours in a row alongside the river Harle.

The name of the boat was " GRILLE ".

GRILLE is German and it means "CRICKET".

Have a look !

The boat "GRILLE" = CRICKET

The boat "GRILLE" = CRICKET

	Buddy Holly Fan Gerrit From The Netherlands

	Cafe BUDDY HOLLY in Nijmegen / Netherlands              The catch was taken in 2006.

    Buddy Holly fan Gerrit from the Netherlands sent me 3 interesting photos.

    He heard about a Cafe BUDDY HOLLY in Nijmegen some years ago and

    he was so interested that he took a photo there. Unfortunately he could

    not get inside, although he waited several hours.

    This cafe still exists, but it has another name now. See the pic below.

	The Cafe today.
