There are not many shy, retiring people in show business, especially among those who make it to the top in any sphere. You almost have to be a self promoter to get anywhere, there are a lot of talented people who go nowhere because they haven't got the stomach for it.

What does the 'K' stand for?
******

'K' is for Kaufman, his last name.

Hi Kent ....

But Steve...

Isn't Murray's MIDDLE name "******" ???

Good points, Bob... if somebody is unable to promote oneself, there's little possibility he/she will be able to make it to the top. On the other hand, i'd suggest, if Murray had no talent, he won't be discussed many years after his passing... there is a possibility the one with little talent would be able to make it to the top - but only for a very short time. IMHO.

It's good some people know who the Crickets are. I know people in their 40s who refer to Heartbeat as "that Knack tune."

I thought it was that DiFranco Family tune.

I had the "Buddy Holly Story" album when I was 11 or 12 and still have it, great stuff.

*sigh*.....

speculating on what Buddy would have done if he had lived is interesting.

One thing is for sure - we missed out on a treasure of great songs. We'll never know what we lost that day. ..... just like we would never known what we had missed if the Beatle's plane had plumeted into the icey Atlantic on the way over to the first Ed Sullivan Show.

To say "ahead of his time" doesn't even begin to describe it.

Buddy the K has a nice ring to it.

Buddy was a Virgo (Sept. 7th). Virgo's rule.

Jerry (Sept. 8th).

Whatever "IT" is, Buddy had it.
