I was a 60's teen, but he was still big this soon after his death.

It's hard to say how big he would have been, but I would have bet he would have been huge. Incredible talent. His niece used to work in burger joint that he got his start performing in (there was a stage attached) - met her one time, very nice girl, and they had a little tribute area to Buddy.
Unfortunately, a FReeper mentioned they tore down the place for a Wal-Mart (wouldn't surprise me knowing Lubbock).

A creepy tidbit from one of your links:
"Richardson had developed a case of the flu during the tour (erroneously thought to have been caused by riding on the unheated bus) and asked one of Holly's bandmates, Waylon Jennings, for his seat on the plane; Jennings agreed to give up the seat. When Buddy heard about this, his reply to Waylon was "Well, I hope your old bus freezes up!", to which Waylon replied, "Well, I hope your plane crashes!" This exchange of words, though made in jest at the time, haunted Jennings for many years afterward."

I remember the day. The high school girls were crying on the school bus.

So when did he lose the "e"?
When studying musical artists from the past 60 years, it's amazing how many of them were from Texas.

The day the music died was when Tupac Shakur died of gunshot wounds on 09/13/1996 < /S >

His light was extinguished long before its time. I never get tired of hearing Buddy Holly's music.
