LISTEN AS RICK LONZ PLAYS THE GREATEST VARIETY OF ROCK N ROLL GOLDEN OLDIES HEARD ANYWHERE...

CRACK OPEN A RELIC RACK SIX PACK of Buddy Holly favorites... He was christened Charles Hardin Holley in 1936. "Buddy Holly" as he was known minus the "e", resulted from a "typo" early in his career. 5 of his hits will be followed by a "tribute" recording called "Buddy" dedicated to him a year before he perished in an Iowa snow storm on February 3, 1959. It was written and performed by Jackie De Shannon who 'imitates' Holly's style which is a far cry from her folksy soft rock hits like "What the World Needs Now is Love"
