I try to watch the BH story every year at this time. He was the king of rock in my opinion.

I agree, could have been great to hear more, he enjoyed writing songs more than performing them.

Remember the guy that lost the contest to take the plane to the next gig?....So he had to ride the unheated bus...and live? Waylon Jennings....

Remember the guy that lost the contest to take the plane to the next gig?....So he had to ride the unheated bus...and live? Waylon Jennings....

Close...but actually, he gave up his seat, Richie Valens won the coin toss for his seat on the plane.

"Richardson had developed a case of flu during the tour and asked Waylon Jennings for his seat on the plane. When Holly learned that Jennings wasn't going to fly, he said in jest, "Well, I hope your ol' bus freezes up" and Jennings responded, also in jest, "Well, I hope your ol' plane crashes". This exchange of words would haunt Jennings for the rest of his life."

Did you know that Buddy was the first one to record Waylon and gave him his start?
