The day the music died.

Tom,
That's the cut we listened to--the producer speaking that disembodied voice from the other room, in different 'air space'...

Plus, some idiot engineer forgot to turn on the magic 'effects buttons and knobs' and Buddy had to sing it without layers and layers of added echo and noise--so we had to listen to an almost unprocessed Buddy.

Peggy Sue is one of my top ten favotite songs of any genre. I had never heard ryhtmn like that before.

I saw Buddy w/ The Crickets lip sync it on American Banstand in . . . what? . . . 1957?

It was Waylon that lost the coin toss. He lived with a horrible memory until his death...... he jokingly said " I hope the plane crashes"...... This was after Buddy said "I hope you freeze on that bus"...... Wasn't heated.

Now, just don't make me listen to that god awful "Bye Bye Ms American Pie"............

Good to know that there are a few sentimental old-farts on this site. Hell, I am still mourning Beethoven.
