RIP Buddy. A great recording artist.

Caught the remaining Crickets in concert at a conference in June in Pittsburgh. Those guys give a heck of a show--lots of fun. I didn't realize they had written so many classic R&R hits, some with Holly and some after he died.

I Fought the Law, Peggy Sue, That'll be the Day, Rave On, Well Alright, Oh Boy, I'm No Stranger to the Rain - for Keith Whitley, Not Fade Away, Maybe Baby, It's So Easy - done by Linda Ronstadt and others, Love is all Around - the Mary Tyler Moore Theme song, Walk Right Back, and many others.

The Crickets are all about 67 years old and still worth seeing.

some of these are right, but im not sure if they are all right, but this is what most of the lyrics of song means....


"Day the Music Died" = Plane crash (buddy holley, etc.)

"Jester" = Bob Dylan

"Jester on the sidelines in a cast"= Bob Dylan appears in the "cast of characters" on the Sgt. Pepper album on the side.

"King" = Elvis

"Quartet" = Beatles

"The Byrds" = The Byrds. Eight miles high was one of their songs.

"Marching band refused to yield" - Beatles were top of the charts thru '60's

"Devil" - Mick Jagger

"Girl who sang the blues" = Janis Joplin

"Father, Son & The Holy Ghost" = John Kennedy, Robt. Kennedy & Martin Luther King.
