Yes, Buddy Holly has gone away, but for folks my age the memory lingers on, as do so many others from the 1950s. You've all seen those forwarded emails with an attachment "
Lost In the '50s" (or some such title) that shows a '57 Chevy, a poodle skirt, a roller skate key, etc., that brings the memories flooding back. I write song lyrics and decided I'd put those memories to song and put the video on YouTube. Many of my friends have seen it, loved it, and suggested I put it out to a larger audience - and what larger (and better) audience than
The Villages. So, by golly, that's what I'm doing. (Hate to see my effort go to waste.
So, if you're interested, (and I hope you are) go to YouTube (YouTube.com) and search on my YouTube ID,
10milecracker
where you'll see "
Buddy Holly's Gone Away" and my other songs there. ("Older Generation" and "He's An Old Eagle" are the most popular, but they've been out there a lot longer.) I'm hoping you'll enjoy them and, if so, will forward them to folks in The Villages (and anywhere else) who remember "the good old days". Thanks in advance for watching.
By the way, I grew up in Ft Pierce FL, so a shout out to anyone there in The Villages who I might know.
