I recently watched a Buddy Holly documentary and found a new appreciation for that type of music.
Some of his songs, especially the later ones when he started adding strings are beautiful.
And to think his career only spanned a year and a half.
Imagine what could have been. |

"Dean Martin and Elvis are my all time favourites
I do love a bit of Buddy Holly, some Frank Sinatra
Tina  "

A 1950's style meet where the man or men  wears a sharp suit & hat, the woman in a long dress with alluring retro bra and undies underneath with an ecletic mix of 50's music on vinyl playing in the background does sound like heaven...
Classy and fun |

I always find myself going back to it.
If you've spotify look up Dreamboats and Petticoats.
They've some great albums and playlists of all the 50s artists and bands under that name. |

I love the energy and style of early rock n roll and rockabilly music.
Sharp suited cats and sweet n sultry rockabilly chicks.
Any ladies here into retro, vintage, rockabilly, burlesque fashion?
I would love to meet an Imelda May type |

Twenty flight rock. The song Paul McCartney played for John Lennon to get him into the Quarrymen when they were like 14 or 15. The fact he nailed playing it on an upside-down guitar (he was left handed) and knew all the words impressed Lennon so much they went on to form the Beatles . Without Eddie Cochran,Chuck berry or other great artists from the 50s we would have been denied , in my opinion, still the greatest band of all time |

Made the pilgrimage to the site of Eddie's car crash near Bath/Chippenham a couple of years ago (just a little plaque on the roadside) and listened to all the music on the way home....i admit to filling up a little. Think u tube still has the old Arena documentary on eddie made back in the 80's.
Always been into the classics of that era...most notably Holly, Presley, Berry, Little Richard etc.... some of the one-hit-wonders were decent also. |

The Fan Club recently funded and erected a new monument - "Three Steps to Heaven" style - check it out on their page on the Blue Place.
