The ‘Crickets’ didn’t go on this tour with Buddy, so, Waylon and others were hired to fill-in in their absence.

The text of the Civil Aeronautics Board Report on the Beech Bonanza crash.

Interestingly, I found the following text:

From the Coroner's Report dated Feb. 4, 1959

(snip)

Personal effects found with the body are listed on a separate sheet in this report.

Fingerprints were taken of the deceased for purposes of identification.

Ralph E. Smiley, MD

Acting coroner

Personal effects, Charles Holley

Cash $193.00 less $11.65 coroner's fees - $181.35 2 cuff links, silver 1/2 in. balls having jeweled band Top portion of ball point pen.

Did the coroner really pilfer Buddy Holly's cash for his fee??? Never read about that before...
