If you enjoyed this, stay tuned in a few days when we go to the historic Norman Petty Studios where I did an interview with the back up singer of Buddy Holly, and he gives a whole different perspective and opinion of Norman Petty, and Buddy and Norman's relationship..
Just a weird little note. I was born in Iowa on the night Buddy died in Iowa. I've always been obsessed with music so I've always thought our souls passed each other that night. Really enjoyed this one. Thank you.
I live in Lubbock and have never been to the museum. I saw the house before they moved it and I pass by the grave every time we visit my mother-in-laws grave. It was nice to see on here and it makes me want to go visit the museum.
My Husband and I were both huge Buddy fans. In 2012 we repeated our Wedding Vows on July 5 our 50th Anniversary. Among the songs we chose to have played was Buddy's TRUE Love WAYS !
Can't believed his childhood home still there, he influenced many great British Rock bands mainly like the Beatles and the Rolling Stones, I am huge Buddy Holly fan as well. Great Vlog !
Why wouldn't the childhood home still be there? Not like it was the house he lived in when he was famous. Houses don't die with the people that lived in them.
Buddy Holly contributed so much to the world of Rock ’n’ Roll. I love his music. What a tragedy that he was taken so soon. I feel so terribly sorry for his wife. Thank you so much Jordan! No one can do these tributes like you. Awesome vlog!
I haven't been back to Lubbock Texas in years I live in scottcity Kansas now, I didn't know that they have a museum for buddy Holley I want to go back to Lubbock Texas now just to see the museum Mac Davis also went to Lubbock highschool and the day that I left Lubbock to move to Kansas Lubbock in my rear view mirror came on my car radio and I looked in mirror and sure enough I seen Lubbock in my rear view mirror it was sad for me
I was thinking about Buddy Holly after the vlog on Roy Orbison. I was a little kid when I saw The Buddy Holly Story and loved it! There is something about that era that I’m in to. Any time there is a death by a plane crash, it always feels extra unsettling to me. So much talent taken away far too soon! This vlog was such a nice tribute to Buddy and I really appreciate that vlogs like this keep memories alive.
I live in Lubbock. I am retired, but substitute teach at Lubbock schools. I have subbed at his junior high, and high school. There is a plaque over one of the classrooms that says it was his home room. Mac Davis also went to LHS.
This flight was supposed to be for Buddy and his two band mates. Waylon Jennings and Tommy Allsup. Waylon gave up his seat to The Big Bopper because he had been sick with a persistent cough. Waylon wanted him to see a Dr. Tommy was asked to trade seats with Richie Vallens just because he didn't want to ride the bus. Tommy decided to do a coin flip with Richie and lost. Both Waylon and Tommy carried a lot of guilt for a long time because of what happened. Tommy's parents had sent a package to him in the next city they were going to so Tommy had given them his Drivers license and fishing permit so that they could pick it up for him. So when you read the early papers on the crash they reported Tommy Allsup as one of the casualties because they found those ID's. Waylon and Tommy went on to inspire many people in the music industry.
I have heard those stories too . I watched a Waylon Jennings autobiography. When Waylon told Buddy he wasn't getting on the plane , Buddy told him well fine then...I hope your old bus breaks down . Then Waylon said , I hope your plane crashes . Waylon said , he wouldn't tell no one about that for a long time , because it really bothered him that he said that . He was afraid someone would think he had messed with the plane Buddy was on too . I could understand that . You know how people can blow things out of proportion ? It is a sad story at the end of his life .
@@bonniebrown6960 Yes you're right about what they said. It's just sort of friendly chatter between friends but he never thought it would actually happen. It was rough tour though. They had a drummer who suffered frost bite on the bus so he was already out of the tour. Very cold and miserable.
@@RhettyforHistory , yeah I remember hearing about the drummer getting frostbite on his feet . That had to of been miserable . I love learning all of the history about famous people . That's some of my favorite things to watch . Even though this one is a sad ending to this story . I love hearing about how Buddy and the rest of them became who they were . God did bless them all , just in different ways .
This was so awesome. I grew up close to Lubbock, but I had never seen his childhood home. Buddy Holly left us too soon, but his music will always live on. You know, Dan Blocker was born in a small town just down the highway in O'Donnell, Texas. (great actor)
Buddy is was and always will be my hero number 1 in music. we have lots of things in common. i do believe he knows how much he is loved today and yesterday.
Paul McCartney not only owns the rights to Buddy Holly Music he also owns the pair of cufflinks Holly was wearing when he died in the plane crash! Creepy---
scott richardson Knew about the music 🎶 rights, that's where Michael Jackson got the idea when the Beatles songs came up for sale. But the cuff links? Creepy. He also has his guitars 🎸
Hi Jordan & Breck, another lovely sunny day. WOW!! I never knew that about his wife having a premonition about the accident, how tragic though that she lost the baby. What a nice little house he grew up in and a lovely gravestone to a legend. Great vlog Jordan.
Was just in Lubbock this past weekend. Amazing experience. The people who own his childhood home now were having a yardsale so I got to go in the yard and talk to them.
Very well done Jordan. You always cover vlogs with class. Instead of ranting on and on about the lack of ability to take photos in the museum, you painted a picture with your words. You always manage to create a vlog that captivates and inspires. I have never seen "The Buddy Holly Story" but have been a fan of the music for years. My wife and I will now have to check it out. Thank you!
Don't! The movie is a travesty. It's full of inaccuracies. Buddy's pal Sonny Curtis was so incensed by it that he wrote a song in an attempt to correct them. Gary Busey did a good job of acting in a work of fiction. It's high time a new movie is made. If no one ever takes up the gauntlet on that, read the biographies instead.
Another great music icon gone way too early but his music will always live on. Glad you shared that with us. I have searched out SRV’s childhood house, his last house he lived in and his grave site in the Dallas/ Ft. Worth area back when I used to go to the Dallas guitar 🎸 show, one of the best in the country
Absolutely loved this vlog. Buddy Holly is one of my all time favorite. It's so heart breaking when you grow up listening to music such as his and many many others in that era and they pass on. It feels like their a part of your family. I know there's people that can relate. I've seen the movie many times and never get tired of it. Thank you Jordan for a memorable vlog. Rock N Roll for ever
I'm a huge buddy holly fan since day 1...44 yrs now. My dad used to play him a lot, and I got hooked, he never had a bad song. Thank you for this, now I have to go :-)
Absolutely my favorite vlog you've done so far! I was only about 5 months old when all this happened, but I've seen both The Buddy Holly Story and La Bamba, and I've read many things online and of course, who hasn't heard American Pie? This was truly "The Day the Music Died", and I'm glad to see that Buddy hasn't been forgotten! Great vlog!
Thanx so much for this one Jordan! Great vlog, but it kinda makes me sad..just like the feeling everytime I watch 'The Buddy Holly Story' gone Way Way too soon.
Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and J P Richardson....”The Day The Music Died”. You know they were true legends because the music lives on as does the memory! Great Vlog 👍😎
AWESOME VLOG!! I saw Dion and the belmonts last year and he spoke about Buddy Holly. How he knew him and worked with him. He was amazed how Buddy's mind worked. For a guy his age. He was always thinking and Dion felt back then that he was way ahead of his time. I felt very sad when he spoke about Buddy Holly. We will never know how far he would of gone. RIP BUDDY HOLLY
I went to Buddy Holly’s middle school and high school. At Lubbock High, I had a class in the same classroom that Buddy Holly was in during his school years. I also set foot on the school’s auditorium stage many times, which Buddy’s band performed during talent shows. Lubbock will always love and remember Buddy Holly!
Buddy was actually a pretty good looking dude, with straight teeth, not goofy looking as Busey portrayed him, with big teeth... Buddy also played lead guitar, which was overlooked.
That was such a lovely story about how Buddy fell in love but had to ask her aunt out for a date, really loved listening about Buddy's life, sadly a short one but deffinatly one which his music will always keep his memory alive, Thankyou Jordan x
The only thing I can say about Buddy besides being great is this. My father who is now 93 years of age, had the pleasure meeting Buddy in Calgary Alberta . My father happened to be at a house party that Buddy came to and I have been jealous ever since of my dads great fortune!
Jordan: Your Lubbock video was excellent, and kudos on the camera work; you do very well with the camera. So many people pan the camera too fast and one cannot see anything. I am glad to learn about Jerry Allison's house being saved. That museum was not there in 1996 when I went around the Buddy Holly sights. I am going to tell you some history, as I have studied Buddy Holly for years and live in Clovis NM - we are in Lubbock frequently because our medical care is there and it was a day in 1996 that I dropped my wife at the Southwest Plains Shopping Mall and went around the Buddy Holly sites - I want to point out a few things that you missed, and if you ever return, I will point out the places you missed and might want to add to your video. I would be happy to show you around, should you desire. Here is the information. 1. The house: Yes the house in your video is the final house Buddy lived in Lubbock and got married to Maria Elena there. It is not the house where Buddy spent his childhood or was born at. The site for that house was on 4th Street, which is now an empty lot with a sign by the City of Lubbock verifying that the house Buddy lived in was on the site. Due to an accidental overlooking at records, the City Of Lubbock sold the house to someone, not being aware of the historical significance of the house (or they would not have sold it) and the house was moved somewhere outside the Lubbock City Limits. To this day, no one knows where the house is located. They Jerry Allison house, now at the museum, was on 6th street when I saw it. I read it was demolished - that is why I was so glad that I saw the house in your video and can affirm that is the same house I saw in its original location. Thank God, it was saved. 2. Tabernacle Baptist Church (on 34th Street)...this is the church Buddy and his family were members of and attended. His funeral was held there with over 1500 people inside. I looked at the outside, looking in and thought "NO WAY that place could hold that many people - not even half. I went inside and the receptionist showed me around. She said the front looks exactly as it did when the funeral was held. The church was much larger in 1959 and was remodeled to take 3/4 of the pews out and build Sunday School classes. And yes, Paul McCartney visited the church as well. It is worth it to stop there and talk to the people who will tell you what they told me. 3. The Lindsey Theater: It was in the older downtown Lubbock area - when I saw it, it was in very poor condition, having been looted by vandals. Buddy Holly attended this theater often. In the 2000's, the theater because a nuisance and the city had it demolished. 4. The Funeral Home: It still has the look, armored shield and name as it did when Buddy Holly was brought here. It is near the Lindsey Theater. 5. The Roller Rink: The building that housed the Roller Rink, which is a red brick building is still there. It was going to be torn down, but the City of Lubbock saved it. Buddy and the (future) Crickets played there, and introduced their songs to the young crowds skating around. It is in the old downtown section. A few yards to the left was the local diner, called Hi-Dee-Ho, where Buddy and his group climbed on the roof and played to the crowd. it is no longer there. 6. The High School (19th Street). Yes, this is the high school Buddy attended. In the summertime when school is not in session (May through August), one can go inside the high school - see one of the actual classrooms Buddy attended and the desk he sat in. Also on display are some other Buddy memorophelia - his jackets, a wallet and other things. It is worth a stop to go inside. 7. Radio Station KDAV: Although there is a radio station with those call letters in Lubbock, the ORIGINAL KDAV station (which goes by other call letters) was the place where Buddy and Hi-Pockets Duncan formed their group "Buddy Holley and Hi-Pockets Duncan - Country and Bop. The production room looks exactly the same as it did when Buddy was there. The staff for the current station in that building has friendly people who would be happy to show you around and answer any questions about Buddy. I always wondered what part of Lubbock was the original KDAV in? To my surprise, I learned years later that it is only two blocks from the motel that I stayed in. The highway in front of the station will take you to the Lubbock Cemetery - which you have already seen. I have to see the Buddy Holly Museum, but I will see it when it re-opens after the COVID-19. I hope some of this information has helped you - as you know Kenneth Broad owns the Norman Petty Studios - the mixing console in there (called a "board" in radio terms, is NOT the original - a few years ago the City Of Clovis built the Norman Petty Studio, which I understand has some Buddy Holly things inside and I believe it contains the very small board that was in the Petty Studios on 7th Street when Buddy was there. Keep up the good work. If you are on Facebook, let me know and I will contact you. I think you live in Los Angeles area - I lived in California for over 50 years! abner
Ive seen this video before but its been a long while ago. Today we ended up driving through Lubbock in an unplanned stop while on a road trip. I couldnt pass it up so we took a quick cruise by the Buddy Holly Center without going inside. I did however go out and paid my respects at his gravesite in the city cemetery. Seeing those two places was a huge bucket list item for me! I had to watch this vid again not only bc Jordan is the best but I also wanted a refresher of what was on display at the BHC that i had missed. Seeing J.I. Allison's old house was exciting in itself!! Love to you Jordan and thanks for all you do! Pet Jah for me 😊 -❤Traci Johnson Francisco
My mother was a huge Buddy Holly fan. Thanks to her, I also became a fan. Your vlogs are always a pleasure to watch. Thank you for all of your great work.
Que atentos son los cuidadanos de Texas en indicar dónde está su Tumba.esos detalles y atenciones son muy importantes para todos aquellos que somos fans de buddy y también agradecer a todos aquellos en Lubbock Texas, que todavía conserven su LEGADO con cariño ,respeto, y buenos sentimientos...se siente se siente la buena vibr, gracias
I found out who Buddy was through watching La Bamba💙 gosh he was talented. So sad and such a tragedy losing him and the others who were taken from that plane crash💔 great vlog Jordan! I'll be sharing this
The day that Rock and Roll began and not the day the music died. Without Holly we wouldnt have so many great groups today like the beatles and the stones etc. Music lives because of Buddy Holly.
Jordan, you did a fantastic tribute. Thanks for sharing one of your dream goals. Watch that Texas sun, it kicking Brecks butt and you're starting to look a little medium rare.
Jordan, you picked the perfect vlog for me. I love Buddy Holly and that era of music! Very special to me and thrilled to see how special it was for you. Added bonus, I have family in Lubbock! 😎😎😎😘😘😘🤩🤩🤩
Very enjoyable look at Buddy's life of in Lubbock, Texas! You're doing exactly what I wish I could do! I retired last year from Disneyland and, and for 30 years prior, I got to know the history of Hollywood Forever, Westwood Memorial Park, etc. I appreciate what you're doing, young Jordan...!
Coming from a family of musicians, we always appreciated to impact Buddy Holly’s music had. Every Feb 3rd, “the day the music died”, we always put on Buddy Holly music and watch the Gary Busey movie of Buddy Holly. Here in NY you can head down to the Village (Greenwich Village) not far from the entrance to Washington Square and stand outside the building with the apartment he had lived in for a short time with Maria Elena (like the one represented in the movie). Keith Richards also has an apartment a few buildings down. Great video.
Hey Jordan, you should stop by Kansas City as you pass through the Midwest. Birthplace of Charlie Parker. Harry Truman House in Independence. Lots of Jazz and baseball history.
I have been a life long Buddy Holly fan. I wrote to the family and said my favorite Buddy song was Maybe Baby. They sent me a nice Christmas card which I still have.
LOVED this vlog!!! Ty for taking us along, I cannot wait for the interview. I love all the personalizations and uniqueness you put into all your vlogs, so interesting, I didn't know anything about him, and taking us by the house where they recorded is so awesome!! ty!
I grew up in Lubbock Texas from the 70's-the 90's I miss living in Lubbock, I remember one time my parents took me and my siblings to the civic center and they had the crickets playing it was a sock hop. I'm a huge buddy Holley fan I've seen his grave also. Can you imagine how many people pass by his former house and the house where him and the crickets practiced in the garage and not knowing that is where it all began.
My Dad said he cried his eyes out that day... and let's just say I've never seen the guy cry over anything. Also, the day Elvis died there were some tears. My Pops had Elvis sideburns throughout the 1980's. Like alot of our Dads I'm sure. Thanks, fellas!
I saw Buddy Holly right before he pasted ......in Green Bay Wisconsin with the big bopper I was in high school and it was something to see ....for the 60's
I was there like a month after you!! I couldn’t stop singing “That’ll Be the Day” and “Everyday it’s a getting Closer”. I lived in Houston and Katy, TX for many, many years and I’m surprised I never visited Lubbock until June-July 2019! Better late than never, I guess!
Dang I love looking over your shoulder on these trips with you. Looking forward to more to come! I think you should be carrying the “Road to...” moniker like Bob Hope and Bing Crosby did!
I am a really big fan of Buddy Holly, first time I ever heard my name, besides it being my name, when I heard the song, Rave On. He will always have a place in my heart. One time, came close to the crash sight, but unfortunately never actually made it to the sight.
Jordan the Lion, ''Welcome to Texas'''!! My Father was actually born in Lubbock Texas and later moved to Amarillo Texas while graduating from Palo Duro High School in 1958 in Amarillo and now lives with me in Corpus Christi Texas at age 80-years Old and still Drives while helping me drive him to his High School Class Reunion of 60-years last August 16,2018😉🤠
I remember what my family was doing when we heard on the stereo that he just crashed in the plane with other great entertainers. Rock and Roll. My family all cried.
I never knew she lost the baby..That's really sad. She probably didn't go to his service for that reason. Good vlog Jordan 😎🌻🕊 If there's a rock and roll heaven ..
Very cool tribute, Jordan. I was born and raised in Lubbock and my stepdad grew up with Buddy and went to school with him and knew him fairly well. You're right, too. His music still sounds great. He was amazing. I hope you got to go to the Norman Petty Studio in Clovis. It's worth checking out and really brings the music to life.
I thoroughly enjoyed this video of Buddy. I learned a lot. The statue and museum was very nice and educational. The statue was awesome, wonderful likenesses. Thank u
Thanks for bringing back some memories for me. I visited the same places you were in back in the late 80s. Me and my grandfather went there on a trip to see my uncle and his family in Colorado. It was very much like you pictures it. Somewhere there is a picture of me standing in front of the statue of Buddy. I didnt go to his gravesite because back then I just wasnt into the whole gravesite thing. But I do remember going to the statue. Of course that was long before the death of Waylon. Hell that was even before Johnny had died. I remember going to see the Buddy Holly Story in the theater way back when my mom used to take me to the mall and drop me off and pick me up several hours later...that was a summer trip hehe.
Just the greatest music and so much fun to play on guitar! Can hardly wait for the next vlog with Buddy's backup singer!👍🏻Just the best road trip, Jordan!
My first time driving for driver's Ed I was directed to drive to Buddy Holly's grave. Spent my teenage years is good ole Lubbock. Miss the wide roads there.
Jordan you are the best my friend,thank you for doing this piece on buddy ( my hero),you haven’t done a bad vlog I have enjoyed everything you do,keep up the good work ,if possible when I’m in Hollywood maybe you can show me round ,take care J
One of the places I've wanted to go to for a long time now. Great vlog. Love the big black glasses. I loved this. Thank you for taking us here. Another wonderful performer. Waylon always felt guilty about what happened. Safe travels you two and take care.
If you get the chance, head down to Beaumont, TX, and visit the grave of The Big Bopper. And if you're anywhere near DeKalb County in Texas, then go and see the tail of the plane Ricky Nelson died in.
a few years ago when i lived in ft.myers florida i had a chance to go see a musical called the buddy holly story for free. the night before the show started at the broadway palm theater i met the four that played buddy and the the three crickets and the best thing about the show they all played the instruments and sang the songs live and on top of it i have my ex-wife and our son Cody lives in Lubbock texas.

Cannot wait!
Daze with Jordan the Lion you always get the inside scoop!
I can't wait.
Can't Wait!😊❤
Just a weird little note. I was born in Iowa on the night Buddy died in Iowa. I've always been obsessed with music so I've always thought our souls passed each other that night. Really enjoyed this one. Thank you.
I love his music
BEAUTIFUL!
Wow. My niece was born the day Elvis died. Kinda interesting to be born on the day a famous person died.
Weird but very interesting. I believe in reincarnation and you never know.
Are you the rencarnation? Also were you born on the Night of Feb 3 or the morning like 1am or somthing? Or the Night of Feb 2
I was 13 years old when Buddy Holly died. Just discovering his music while at school. I am now in my 70`s and still love his music. xx
I live in Lubbock and have never been to the museum. I saw the house before they moved it and I pass by the grave every time we visit my mother-in-laws grave. It was nice to see on here and it makes me want to go visit the museum.

So kind of you
Maria Elena loved Buddy so much, her first son of her second marriage was named for him.
Jordon you are definitely an old soul. Thank you for all you share with us. Wishing you much continued success. You are a very special young man.
Did you say he was 22? 5 months short of 24. Also, did you say his name was spelled wrong?
The sound of the music of that era can never be reproduced. I always admired the sound, Beautiful......
The true test of a musical genius is when their music transcends time and still is loved.
I haven't been back to Lubbock Texas in years I live in scottcity Kansas now, I didn't know that they have a museum for buddy Holley I want to go back to Lubbock Texas now just to see the museum Mac Davis also went to Lubbock highschool and the day that I left Lubbock to move to Kansas Lubbock in my rear view mirror came on my car radio and I looked in mirror and sure enough I seen Lubbock in my rear view mirror it was sad for me

Not creepy at all ...McCartney and Lennon were hugely influenced by Buddy ..glad he now owns Buddy's songs and they won't be used for commercials

Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and J P Richardson....”The Day The Music Died”. You know they were true legends because the music lives on as does the memory! Great Vlog 👍😎
AWESOME VLOG!! I saw Dion and the belmonts last year and he spoke about Buddy Holly. How he knew him and worked with him. He was amazed how Buddy's mind worked. For a guy his age. He was always thinking and Dion felt back then that he was way ahead of his time. I felt very sad when he spoke about Buddy Holly. We will never know how far he would of gone. RIP BUDDY HOLLY
Buddy Holly was just a great singer. His music lives on.
I went to Buddy Holly’s middle school and high school. At Lubbock High, I had a class in the same classroom that Buddy Holly was in during his school years. I also set foot on the school’s auditorium stage many times, which Buddy’s band performed during talent shows.
Lubbock will always love and remember Buddy Holly!
Awesome vlog loved Buddy's music and Gary Busey should of gotten the Academy Award.
Joshua Waltz When Gary met the Holly family they all said it was uncanny how much he reminded them of Buddy.
My grandma graduated from high school with Gary Busey.
Buddy was actually a pretty good looking dude, with straight teeth, not goofy looking as Busey portrayed him, with big teeth... Buddy also played lead guitar, which was overlooked.
That was such a lovely story about how Buddy fell in love but had to ask her aunt out for a date, really loved listening about Buddy's life, sadly a short one but deffinatly one which his music will always keep his memory alive, Thankyou Jordan x
The only thing I can say about Buddy besides being great is this. My father who is now 93 years of age, had the pleasure meeting Buddy in Calgary Alberta . My father happened to be at a house party that Buddy came to and I have been jealous ever since of my dads great fortune!
Thank you for visiting the hometown's of 2 of my rock 'n roll heros!🎸🎸 Love Buddy, Roy and of course Elvis!
Jordan: Your Lubbock video was excellent, and kudos on the camera work; you do very well with the camera. So many people pan the camera too fast and one cannot see anything. I am glad to learn about Jerry Allison's house being saved. That museum was not there in 1996 when I went around the Buddy Holly sights. I am going to tell you some history, as I have studied Buddy Holly for years and live in Clovis NM - we are in Lubbock frequently because our medical care is there and it was a day in 1996 that I dropped my wife at the Southwest Plains Shopping Mall and went around the Buddy Holly sites - I want to point out a few things that you missed, and if you ever return, I will point out the places you missed and might want to add to your video. I would be happy to show you around, should you desire. Here is the information.
1. The house: Yes the house in your video is the final house Buddy lived in Lubbock and got married to Maria Elena there. It is not the house where Buddy spent his childhood or was born at. The site for that house was on 4th Street, which is now an empty lot with a sign by the City of Lubbock verifying that the house Buddy lived in was on the site. Due to an accidental overlooking at records, the City Of Lubbock sold the house to someone, not being aware of the historical significance of the house (or they would not have sold it) and the house was moved somewhere outside the Lubbock City Limits. To this day, no one knows where the house is located. They Jerry Allison house, now at the museum, was on 6th street when I saw it. I read it was demolished - that is why I was so glad that I saw the house in your video and can affirm that is the same house I saw in its original location. Thank God, it was saved.
2. Tabernacle Baptist Church (on 34th Street)...this is the church Buddy and his family were members of and attended. His funeral was held there with over 1500 people inside. I looked at the outside, looking in and thought "NO WAY that place could hold that many people - not even half. I went inside and the receptionist showed me around. She said the front looks exactly as it did when the funeral was held. The church was much larger in 1959 and was remodeled to take 3/4 of the pews out and build Sunday School classes. And yes, Paul McCartney visited the church as well. It is worth it to stop there and talk to the people who will tell you what they told me.
3. The Lindsey Theater: It was in the older downtown Lubbock area - when I saw it, it was in very poor condition, having been looted by vandals. Buddy Holly attended this theater often. In the 2000's, the theater because a nuisance and the city had it demolished.
4. The Funeral Home: It still has the look, armored shield and name as it did when Buddy Holly was brought here. It is near the Lindsey Theater.
5. The Roller Rink: The building that housed the Roller Rink, which is a red brick building is still there. It was going to be torn down, but the City of Lubbock saved it. Buddy and the (future) Crickets played there, and introduced their songs to the young crowds skating around. It is in the old downtown section. A few yards to the left was the local diner, called Hi-Dee-Ho, where Buddy and his group climbed on the roof and played to the crowd. it is no longer there.
6. The High School (19th Street). Yes, this is the high school Buddy attended. In the summertime when school is not in session (May through August), one can go inside the high school - see one of the actual classrooms Buddy attended and the desk he sat in. Also on display are some other Buddy memorophelia - his jackets, a wallet and other things. It is worth a stop to go inside.
7. Radio Station KDAV: Although there is a radio station with those call letters in Lubbock, the ORIGINAL KDAV station (which goes by other call letters) was the place where Buddy and Hi-Pockets Duncan formed their group "Buddy Holley and Hi-Pockets Duncan - Country and Bop. The production room looks exactly the same as it did when Buddy was there. The staff for the current station in that building has friendly people who would be happy to show you around and answer any questions about Buddy. I always wondered what part of Lubbock was the original KDAV in? To my surprise, I learned years later that it is only two blocks from the motel that I stayed in. The highway in front of the station will take you to the Lubbock Cemetery - which you have already seen.
I have to see the Buddy Holly Museum, but I will see it when it re-opens after the COVID-19. I hope some of this information has helped you - as you know Kenneth Broad owns the Norman Petty Studios - the mixing console in there (called a "board" in radio terms, is NOT the original - a few years ago the City Of Clovis built the Norman Petty Studio, which I understand has some Buddy Holly things inside and I believe it contains the very small board that was in the Petty Studios on 7th Street when Buddy was there.
Keep up the good work. If you are on Facebook, let me know and I will contact you. I think you live in Los Angeles area - I lived in California for over 50 years!

Awesome vlog. Thanks for highlighting our fantastic Texas musicians.
There is a lot in Texas!
Loved this one! I listen to Buddy Holly radio on Pandora all the time. The museum is now on my bucket list. Thanks for this one. 😎🎵🎶🎵🎶
Ive seen this video before but its been a long while ago. Today we ended up driving through Lubbock in an unplanned stop while on a road trip. I couldnt pass it up so we took a quick cruise by the Buddy Holly Center without going inside. I did however go out and paid my respects at his gravesite in the city cemetery. Seeing those two places was a huge bucket list item for me! I had to watch this vid again not only bc Jordan is the best but I also wanted a refresher of what was on display at the BHC that i had missed. Seeing J.I. Allison's old house was exciting in itself!! Love to you Jordan and thanks for all you do! Pet Jah for me 😊 -❤Traci Johnson Francisco
This was more than a vlog. It was a tribute - thanks Jordon, well done!❤️
😎😎 I remember the news bulletin when It came over our little B&W TV
I loved this Vlog. You did an amazing job covering his whole life. Also wonderful that Lubbock had so many tributes to Buddy, and the museum.
My Uncle and my Aunty got me into Buddy Holly! He’s still timeless in his music.
My mother was a huge Buddy Holly fan. Thanks to her, I also became a fan. Your vlogs are always a pleasure to watch. Thank you for all of your great work.
Que atentos son los cuidadanos de Texas en indicar dónde está su Tumba.esos detalles y atenciones son muy importantes para todos aquellos que somos fans de buddy y también agradecer a todos aquellos en Lubbock Texas, que todavía conserven su LEGADO con cariño ,respeto, y buenos sentimientos...se siente se siente la buena vibr, gracias
Rave On and Not Fade Away are two of my favorite songs. Great vlog, thanks and take care, Jordan!
I found out who Buddy was through watching La Bamba💙 gosh he was talented. So sad and such a tragedy losing him and the others who were taken from that plane crash💔 great vlog Jordan! I'll be sharing this
@wayne pitty 👼🙏
I absolutely adored his music. THANK YOU
Loved this video I was only one year old when he died but heard his music the whole time growing up.
The day that Rock and Roll began and not the day the music died. Without Holly we wouldnt have so many great groups today like the beatles and the stones etc. Music lives because of Buddy Holly.
Jordan, you did a fantastic tribute. Thanks for sharing one of your dream goals. Watch that Texas sun, it kicking Brecks butt and you're starting to look a little medium rare.
Jordan, you picked the perfect vlog for me. I love Buddy Holly and that era of music! Very special to me and thrilled to see how special it was for you. Added bonus, I have family in Lubbock! 😎😎😎😘😘😘🤩🤩🤩
Yessir...I’ll agree with a previous poster, absolutely killing it on these road vlogs
Very enjoyable look at Buddy's life of in Lubbock, Texas! You're doing exactly what I wish I could do! I retired last year from Disneyland and, and for 30 years prior, I got to know the history of Hollywood Forever, Westwood Memorial Park, etc. I appreciate what you're doing, young Jordan...!
Coming from a family of musicians, we always appreciated to impact Buddy Holly’s music had. Every Feb 3rd, “the day the music died”, we always put on Buddy Holly music and watch the Gary Busey movie of Buddy Holly. Here in NY you can head down to the Village (Greenwich Village) not far from the entrance to Washington Square and stand outside the building with the apartment he had lived in for a short time with Maria Elena (like the one represented in the movie). Keith Richards also has an apartment a few buildings down. Great video.
Great video! I grew up listening to Buddy...still do! his music is timeless!
Loved it!
❤
I used to live in Lubbock! It’s a great town! My friends own Woodrow House B&B across the street from Texas Tech!
Love the vlog, and Jordan and JAH. And I love the great state of Texas. ❤️🌹🕊🐕
Hey Jordan, you should stop by Kansas City as you pass through the Midwest. Birthplace of Charlie Parker. Harry Truman House in Independence. Lots of Jazz and baseball history.
I have been a life long Buddy Holly fan. I wrote to the family and said my favorite Buddy song was Maybe Baby. They sent me a nice Christmas card which I still have.
LOVED this vlog!!! Ty for taking us along, I cannot wait for the interview. I love all the personalizations and uniqueness you put into all your vlogs, so interesting, I didn't know anything about him, and taking us by the house where they recorded is so awesome!! ty!
A great video and tribute to a super talented musician. Buddy Holly was the favourite band of my still living cousin Sandy in England.
I grew up in Lubbock Texas from the 70's-the 90's I miss living in Lubbock, I remember one time my parents took me and my siblings to the civic center and they had the crickets playing it was a sock hop. I'm a huge buddy Holley fan I've seen his grave also. Can you imagine how many people pass by his former house and the house where him and the crickets practiced in the garage and not knowing that is where it all began.
I was born in Lubbock texas. Lubbock is very close to my heart
My Dad said he cried his eyes out that day... and let's just say I've never seen the guy cry over anything. Also, the day Elvis died there were some tears. My Pops had Elvis sideburns throughout the 1980's. Like alot of our Dads I'm sure. Thanks, fellas!
I saw Buddy Holly right before he pasted ......in Green Bay Wisconsin with the big bopper I was in high school and it was something to see ....for the 60's
I was there like a month after you!! I couldn’t stop singing “That’ll Be the Day” and “Everyday it’s a getting Closer”. I lived in Houston and Katy, TX for many, many years and I’m surprised I never visited Lubbock until June-July 2019! Better late than never, I guess!
This was my Dad's favorite musical singer thanks for sharing my Dad died in February he would have like this video. Thank You
Awesome vlog, now that’s a Rock N Roll🎸🎶🎶🎶🎶
This is in my top 10 favorite vlogs you've done!!!!😍😍😍
Love Buddy Holly! His music is eternal. Thank you again for an awesome vlog!
He is a legend ! lovely vlog Jordan thank you so much . :-)
Dang I love looking over your shoulder on these trips with you. Looking forward to more to come! I think you should be carrying the “Road to...” moniker like Bob Hope and Bing Crosby did!
I am a really big fan of Buddy Holly, first time I ever heard my name, besides it being my name, when I heard the song, Rave On. He will always have a place in my heart. One time, came close to the crash sight, but unfortunately never actually made it to the sight.
I have always loved Buddy Holly. Thank so much for this vlog💙
Jordan the Lion,
''Welcome to Texas'''!!
My Father was actually born in Lubbock Texas and later moved to Amarillo Texas while graduating from Palo Duro High School in 1958 in Amarillo and now lives with me in Corpus Christi Texas at age 80-years Old and still Drives while helping me drive him to his High School Class Reunion of 60-years last August 16,2018😉🤠
I remember what my family was doing when we heard on the stereo that he just crashed in the plane with other great entertainers. Rock and Roll. My family all cried.
I was at Lubbock Texas in 1983 and enjoyed all about. Him and his grave and the song the day the music died
I never knew she lost the baby..That's really sad. She probably didn't go to his service for that reason. Good vlog Jordan 😎🌻🕊 If there's a rock and roll heaven ..
Buddy Holly, my hero my favorite song maybe baby rest in peace.❤️
So much lost......so much left behind. Thanks for the tour. No other words...😭
Very cool tribute, Jordan. I was born and raised in Lubbock and my stepdad grew up with Buddy and went to school with him and knew him fairly well.
You're right, too. His music still sounds great. He was amazing. I hope you got to go to the Norman Petty Studio in Clovis. It's worth checking out and really brings the music to life.
I thoroughly enjoyed this video of Buddy. I learned a lot. The statue and museum was very nice and educational. The statue was awesome, wonderful likenesses. Thank u
Thanks for bringing back some memories for me. I visited the same places you were in back in the late 80s. Me and my grandfather went there on a trip to see my uncle and his family in Colorado. It was very much like you pictures it. Somewhere there is a picture of me standing in front of the statue of Buddy. I didnt go to his gravesite because back then I just wasnt into the whole gravesite thing. But I do remember going to the statue. Of course that was long before the death of Waylon. Hell that was even before Johnny had died. I remember going to see the Buddy Holly Story in the theater way back when my mom used to take me to the mall and drop me off and pick me up several hours later...that was a summer trip hehe.
Just the greatest music and so much fun to play on guitar! Can hardly wait for the next vlog with Buddy's backup singer!👍🏻Just the best road trip, Jordan!
My first time driving for driver's Ed I was directed to drive to Buddy Holly's grave. Spent my teenage years is good ole Lubbock. Miss the wide roads there.
This was a truly touching blog, brought tears to my eyes at least a few times.
Buddy just wanted his music to be heard and loved and it is and always will be
Jordan you are the best my friend,thank you for doing this piece on buddy ( my hero),you haven’t done a bad vlog I have enjoyed everything you do,keep up the good work ,if possible when I’m in Hollywood maybe you can show me round ,take care J
Thank you so much. I'm a big Buddy Holly fan. I enjoyed this alot. GOD BLESS YOU 😇
I was 10 yrs old when he died. Will never forget that day.
One of the places I've wanted to go to for a long time now. Great vlog. Love the big black glasses. I loved this. Thank you for taking us here. Another wonderful performer. Waylon always felt guilty about what happened. Safe travels you two and take care.
Hi Guys! This Was Fantastic!! I Learned A Lot More Information From You Than What I Had Read....Thank You..Loved It!!!! Be Safe!
That was a very nice tribute . Tastefully , and well done ..thanks for sharing this legend with us .
If you get the chance, head down to Beaumont, TX, and visit the grave of The Big Bopper. And if you're anywhere near DeKalb County in Texas, then go and see the tail of the plane Ricky Nelson died in.
a few years ago when i lived in ft.myers florida i had a chance to go see a musical called the buddy holly story for free. the night before the show started at the broadway palm theater i met the four that played buddy and the the three crickets and the best thing about the show they all played the instruments and sang the songs live and on top of it i have my ex-wife and our son Cody lives in Lubbock texas.
