Buddy and Friends

Buddy and Friends

 

 

a song perished

in an Iowa cornfield

soon after taking off on the charts

 

a cold winter night

played on my '45

endlessly

the turntable of my heart

spinning achingly

 

I was nine and counting

tapping my feet

to his music

just yesterday.

[Gee]

How sad his demise, loved his music. Quite a few came a cropper in crashing planes, what a waste.
Good morning Jacob

Yes, so many wonderful artists lost to plane crashes and car crashes...especially singers.
I really love Buddy...had Oh Boy and Not fade away on the same single...played it to death...
it came out when I was seven...I was stunned when I heard of the crash.
He was only 22 and had so much creativity left in him...

thank you, Gee,
j.
