Good to kmow that you still read this message board. Hope all is well with you and your family.

Regarding the Buddy Holly story ... and Paul McCartney (who says that Buddy Holly was a seminal influence on The Beatles and their music)... I was not aware that the choice of "The Beatles" name was influenced by Buddy Holly's "The Crickets".

Thanks for attaching the newspaper front page from that era a half-century ago. IT doesn't seem that long ago ....

Wishing that you'll post more often Jim ...
