The late great Buddy Holly
Every February 3rd, I take a Sunburst Stratocaster from the guitar rack and play along to some Buddy Holly songs.
The music is great and something strange happens, I often find that some really magical playing comes out of this.
Feb 3rd 1959
Sadly, one of Buddy Holly's players in his last line up Tommy Allsup died recently, his playing on 'Its so easy' is one of my favourite guitar solos from the Buddy Holly musical legacy.

Although I like Elvis, Buddy Holly was a songwriter and performer which I think gave Buddy the edge, what would have been the situation if Buddy had lived on? Regardless of this, we still have a great musical legacy from both of these artists.
I really like to play along to their music and we are fortunate to have so many of their performances on film to watch.
