User's Guide to WDAM Radio's History of Buddy Holly & the Crickets User's Guide To WDAM Radio's History Of Buddy Holly & The Crickets Preface To The 2020 Edition This across-four-decades-and-two-centuries-long work-in-progress now has been converted to MP3. This new version is expanded from the most recent edition (2009) and contains even more hit and significant non-hit covers of Buddy Holly “solo” and Buddy Holly & The recordings ... as well as newly discovered Buddy Holly "salute" songs, interviews, and recorded historical artifacts that WDAM Radio has identified and acquired. The Collection Congratulations! You now own every hit record ever recorded by Buddy Holly (and/or records on which Buddy appeared as a back-up singer/musician) in both the United States and the United Kingdom. It also includes all charted hits by the Crickets [including all of their many United Kingdom hits, too!] after Buddy's death, as well as their remaining discography. All are in chronological order! .... or at least, sort of. You'll also enjoy original versions of songs that were later re-made into hits by Holly...plus every other artists' hit covers [including those that were only hits in the United Kingdom] of Holly originals ever recorded...plus almost all of those glorious "Buddy Holly death-salute" songs (along with similar tributes to J.P. Richardson and Ritchie Valens). It's the only collection of its kind this side ... or any side of Lubbock, Texas; Clovis, New Mexico; New York City; or Clear Lake, Iowa. (If you know the history of Buddy Holly, you will know why those locations were chosen.) Every release on single 45's (or 78's) is followed by the highest position reached in Billboard magazine and the year. Songs that were hits in the United Kingdom only have the designation – "U.K." Singles that never charted are designated (–/year). The designation "rare" means you probably will not find this at your favorite online sources or bricks-and-mortar music store. Other cuts of interest (at least of interest to WDAM Radio’s management and staff) that are included here that were not released as singles just have the year in parenthesis following them. A little more trivia that you need to have in order to appreciate this collection......As you may know, songs released on the Coral label were credited only to Buddy Holly, and songs released on the Brunswick label were credited to the Crickets (even though both of these labels were subsidiaries of the same company – Decca Records). WDAM Radio has followed this same format on the music list below, however, songs with the Crickets' "involvement" are shown with "(& The Crickets)." Additionally, Buddy's first label, which ironically was Decca, labeled their releases as either by Buddy Holly or Buddy Holly and The Three Tunes (Sonny Curtis [later, an "occasional/additional" Cricket, who also wrote and is heard singing the theme of the Mary Tyler Moore Show on CBS Television], Jerry Allison, an "original" Cricket], and assorted others). These also are labeled appropriately. After Buddy's death, his original producer, Norman Petty, took remaining voice tracks, and for 10 years continued remixing them with additional background tracks provided by the Fireballs (remember their hits – "Sugar Shack," "Daisy Petal Pickin'," "Vaquero," "Bull dog," "Quite A Party," "Ain't Gonna Tell Anybody," "Goin' Away," "Come On, React!" and "Long Green"? – [yes, WDAM Radio has all of these]....and now you do, too...see below!). Several of these were then released as singles in both the U.S. and U.K. for 20 years, until 1978, and a couple actually made the charts. Single releases that include dubbed in backgrounds by the Fireballs are also noted along with both the years of Buddy's original track and the later dubbed in backgrounds. And the Picks, who provided backup vocals on many of his Buddy’s recordings also re-dubbed backgrounds on his complete hit catalogue – sure enough, they are on this collection, too! As an extra added bonus (and because we are compulsive “completists” at WDAM Radio), this collection also includes all the charted hits of other artists associated with Buddy Holly & The Crickets...their first producer – Norman Petty [plus all the hit singles, as well as a comprehensive collection of non-hits he produced for other artists], one of their later producers – Buzz Cason [a/k/a Garry Miles], various "early" Crickets – Sonny Curtis, and "later" Crickets – Jerry Naylor, Earl Henry Sinks, and David Box, among others. In addition to various “Producer’s Notes” and other information in the “Comments” column of music list, check the Internet links that have been provided in this column for even more detailed information about the songs and the artists in this archive. As detailed on the pages that follow, we have divided this collection into the following mixes: • “Hit Mix” • “Deluxe Hit Singles & Hit Album Cuts Mix” • “Musicology Mix” • “Tributes & Mentions Mix” • “Crickets After Buddy Holly” • “Individual Crickets Mix” • “Buddy Holly-Picks Mix” • “Norman Petty et al Mix” • “Buddy Holly’s Buddies Mix” • “Assorted Cover Recordings Mix” The hits just keep on comin’ – listen for updates to this collection as more “tribute” and cover recordings find their way into WDAM Radio’s dusty groove yard – and ultimately into this collection. Rock on! Radio Dave WDAM Radio's Hit Singles History Of Buddy Holly & The Crickets # Artist Title Chart Comments Position/ Year “Hits Mix” 0000 Mr. Announcer & The “Introduction/Station Identification” WDAM Radio Singers 0001 Crickets “That’ll Be The Day” #1/1957 The song had its genesis in a trip to the movies by Buddy Holly, Jerry Allison, and Sonny Curtis in June 1956. The John Wayne film The Searchers was playing. Wayne's frequently-used, world-weary catchphrase, "that'll be the day" inspired the young musicians. The second recorded version of this song was recorded eight months later, at the Norman Petty studios in Clovis, New Mexico, on February 25, 1957 and issued on Decca's Brunswick label three months later. Because Holly had signed a recording contract with Decca, he was contractually prohibited from re-recording any of the songs recorded during the 1956 Nashville sessions for five years, even if Decca never released them. To dodge this, producer Norman Petty credited the Crickets as the artist on this new recording of That'll Be the Day to shield Buddy from possible legal action. Ironically, Brunswick was a subsidiary of Decca. Once the cat was out of the bag, Decca re-signed Holly to another of its subsidiaries, Coral, so he ended up with two recording contracts. His group efforts would be issued by Brunswick, and his solo recordings would be on Coral.

  • “Amarillo by Morning” the Life and Songs of Terry Stafford 1
    In the early months of 1964, on their inaugural tour of North America, the Beatles seemed to be everywhere: appearing on The Ed Sullivan Show, making the front cover of Newsweek, and playing for fanatical crowds at sold out concerts in Washington, D.C. and New York City. On Billboard magazine’s April 4, 1964, Hot 100 2 list, the “Fab Four” held the top five positions. 28 One notch down at Number 6 was “Suspicion,” 29 by a virtually unknown singer from Amarillo, Texas, named Terry Stafford. The following week “Suspicion” – a song that sounded suspiciously like Elvis Presley using an alias – moved up to Number 3, wedged in between the Beatles’ “Twist and Shout” and “She Loves You.”3 The saga of how a Texas boy met the British Invasion head-on, achieving almost overnight success and a Top-10 hit, is one of triumph and “Amarillo By Morning” disappointment, a reminder of the vagaries The Life and Songs of Terry Stafford 1 that are a fact of life when pursuing a career in Joe W. Specht music. It is also the story of Stafford’s continuing development as a gifted songwriter, a fact too often overlooked when assessing his career. Terry Stafford publicity photo circa 1964.

    There and Back Again Jan 2017 – by Jason Cohen In 1962 Terry Allen left Lubbock to pursue what he couldn’t imagine ever happening in his hometown: a life as an artist. More than fifty years later, the sculptor, painter, playwright, and musician behind Juarez and Lubbock (On Everything) is ready for a return. Terry Allen, photographed in Austin, in November 2016. Photograph by Leann Mueller The guide leading incoming freshmen around Texas Tech University on the first Saturday of 2016’s college- football season didn’t look as though he’d been on campus longer than one academic year himself, but he had his patter down.

While all the students call it “Bookman,” the sculpture’s formal title is a play on the university’s Red Raiders nickname: Read Reader. And there’s a second pun in Bookman’s anatomical construction. “His spine is made out of actual book spines,” the guide observed, before offering his own interpretation of the work. “He’s running to the library to cram for his test. But he’s probably going to fail, because he’s reading a website.” What the collegiate docent didn’t mention was the sculptor, a not-insignificant omission. Bookman sprung from the mind and hands of Lubbock native and one-semester Texas Tech dropout Terry Allen, who is arguably the first of Lubbock’s legendary post-hippie semi-country singer-songwriters.
