I'd say the post is on point....
Buddy Holly died far too young.He did some fine,fine stuff.

He had a three hits in the 1960s (Notably Tribute To Buddy Holly), and is sometimes confused with Dave Berry. His first singles were produced by Joe Meek. In 1980, he had a big chart success in the UK, with The Sunshine Of Your Smile, a romantic song written before the First World War. His most recent CD About Time Two, recorded in Nashville with The Crickets, has received rave reviews: Now Dig This - Britain's leading rock'n'roll magazine - rated it as "really good" and describes the version of Bobby Charles's Before I Grow Too Old an "absolute masterpiece".
Even recorded with the Crickets -- amazing chap, and probably well worth the ticket price!
That's way cool.
Loved that show.
I've met the Fireballs when they were playing a dance at the Elks Lodge at Clovis in about 1968/69. I was helping my girl friend (now my wife of 30-odd years) check coats and hats that night. After the dance, I helped several of the band members push a drunk and his Cadillac out of a snow bank in the Lodge parking lot. Ah memories....

Regarding the Fireballs; is this the same group as in "Jimmy Gilmer and the Fireballs", who did "Sugar Shack" around 1963?
Always did like that song.
