ROCKOLLECTIONS: THE DAY THE MUSIC DIED PT.2

[Mike Pell]

The Beatles are in this Episode, and don't forget, The Beatles took their name for its similarity to Buddy Holly & The CRICKETS- Beatles...Crickets, get it?

The the Part One of this show turned out pretty well too, if you are interested.

Moving on with the second half of a show done 50 Years To The Day after that Infamous Plane Crash on Feb. 3rd 1959, this Chapter is all Buddy Holly.
To me, Buddy ranks closely up there with the Beatles, and there is a real connection between them.
The Beatles chose their name because they wanted something similar to The Crickets- something that was clever and had two meanings.
I'll have Music from both.
But the most remarkable thing in here, and you may never have heard it, is an interview Alan Freed did with Buddy Holly just a few months before the Crash.
There are the two them laughing and joking about all the dangerous Plane Rides they had taken on tour together the year before!
It's very eerie...almost surreal!
Give a listen, it's a nice collection of Rock & Roll and not all 50's Oldies!
Continued next week.

Dear Sexy Sadie Rita, lol,

Bob's a real nice guy, glad I met him here.

I thank you for the kind words, been doing the show for over 16 years but only lately are people starting to notice.

It's a throwback to those brief free-form Radio days of the late 60's where anything goes- wherever the Muse takes me decides what I will play.

LOVE the Beatles, The Greatest Group That Ever Existed!

I have played things from the 1930's up to today, so I hope you will return to my little Rockollections for the Musical Mystery Tour, lol!

Thanks again I appreciate hearing from you,

Mike
