Buddy Holly Breakdown!

The Buddy Holly Story (album) (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

I recently took a long four hour road trip, that left me very bored.  Luckily earlier that day I went to target and bought a new selection of music.  Among the 5 CD‘s I purchased that day was one of Buddy Holly that I got for my wife.  I have heard some Buddy Holly here and there, but I never had a chance to really listen to him.  That all changed when I was able to listen to him for the first 1 1/2 hours of the drive.  So now I am going to give you a breakdown of my thoughts of Buddy Holly.  I will approach this as an Ethnomusicologist and a music performer.
