Buddy

Prototype of a 1950's Rock-and-Roll band; guitar (Fender Stratocaster), acoustic bass and drums. Bill Haley and his Comets were pretty much in the same setting.

A bit late, but it's always good to remember Buddy Holly (died in a plane crash on February 3, 1959, the day that the music died). He was defining for the next generation Rock & Roll musicians. Don McLean made the American Pie song about Buddy's death.

Buddy Holly (and his Crickets) made many more great songs then his few famous hits. And he basically composed most of them himself. Here is a 2xCD Ultimate album with 50 great songs;
