RIP Larry. I remember the first time I ever watched you play my jaw about hit the floor. The first thing I was thinking was MY GOD THIS DUDE IS A MONSTER GUITAR PLAYER. I think the band I saw you playing with was the Desert Moon Band and you was ripping that guitar to shreds. If anyone could play Brent Mason style licks it was you. You was amazing and fun to watch.

I'd like to add another attribute to Larry, from someone who grew up in the same circle of friends in Lubbock. Larry , even at a young age, always seemed to always be on, or looking for the cutting edge,,,example,,,when we were all still in our late teens, Larry had a little recording studio on 19th street in Lubbock for a while. Also I remember Larry somehow getting his hands on one of the first original echo units of the time, from Germany I think,,,,,I think it was called and echoplex,,,or echosonic. I called Larry a few years ago but he didn't seem to remember me as well as I remembered him. We had a lot of the same mutual friends,,as did Buddy and I.

Fascinating story. The little garage/studio you mention on 19th was called Venture, co-owned by Larry and Bobby Peeples.. i think it might be a familiar name to you too. Buddy Holly and Jerry Allison recorded some demos there in '56.

@@ansias77 Yes,,I remember Bobby Peeples,,,I didn't know he was in on that.,,,so many that have slipped from our memories,,,like Tinker,,,,and Jack Neal,,,I was playing for Jack Neal when I got married,,,(the 1st time,,,LOL). So sad we've lost Larry now.

@@sonnyjenkins4908 Thanks Sonny. I'm a HUGE West Texas 50's/early 60's r'n'r fan and researcher from Spain. I'd love to hear your recollections about all those guys i've always admired so much. I'm sure we have a lot of names in common..Buddy & Crickets, Tinker & The Cats, Roller Rink, Cotton Club, Bamboo Club, Glassarama, Fair Park, Hi-D-Ho, Night Owl, KDAV, KLLL, KSEL, the Corbins, Jerry "Bo" Coleman, Waylon, Johnny Rackler, Joe Westbrook, Niki Sullivan, The 4 Teens, The Ad Libs, Terry Noland, Jack Davis.. I'm sure most of these names have taken right to your teens ! lol So You played with Jack Neal ?? that's cool, Jack was a real great and friendly guy, i gladly met him on my trips to Lubbock.

That is not the same Stratocaster that Buddy was playing the night he was killed. Buddy over the eighteen months that he was a star had at least five strats because they kept getting stolen. The one in that photo was his original 1954-55, the one on display in Lubbock that he had when he was killed is a 1958 three tone that was his last know one ( he and Tommy Allsup got matching ones at the same time in the late summer of 1958 ).

Excellent video! Is it possible you could write out what it says on that handwritten setlist? It's a bit fuzzy on video. I'm very interested in Buddy's musical journey and having some songs he might've played by request would keep things interesting.

There are many, many super talented young singer songwriters who's lives were cut short by tragedy and Buddy Holly is on top of that list. We all know about "Peggy Sue" and so forth, however, it is incredible to know that he wrote --- "True Love Ways" at the age of 21. Yes, his producer Norman Petty contributed, but to think of what Buddy would have come up with had he lived. Wow!!

Thank you so much for uploading this! Really fascinating. Buddy is and always has been massive over here in the UK. I've always known that he played bass with Buddy in those early years (and can be heard on 'That'll Be The Day' and other recordings), and I've wondered what happened to him. Now I wonder why he didn't appear in those two big documentaries that were made about Buddy Holly.
