FIRST OF 2010

The first of the New Year. How are we going to say it - Twenty ten or Two thousand and ten. Who knows - who cares.

What we do care about is the music here:

Bonnie Guitar-The French song. Not as good as the Lucille Starr version
Anita Lindblom -You can have him. From 1962 a Swedish singer sing the female version of Roy Hamilton's great song.
Tony Sheveton - A million drums from 1964
Johnny Halliday-Love me tender (French). The King of R 'n' R in France.
Jan & Dean - Baby Talk. Supposedly recorded in a garage.
Crickets -A Fool Never Learns. Buddy's backing group. I go to a weekly quiz evening and one of the questions was 'What was Buddy Holly's wifes name" I knew she was Hispanic and not a pleasant person but it defeated me as I just couldn't recall it (pressure!!) so we wrote down 'That Spanish B.... '
It was Maria - why didn't we pick that as an obvious name?
(She caused some controversy when she wanted to charge the city of Lubbock to use Buddy's name in various ways, including in relation to a music festival, a street named the "Buddy Holly Walk of Fame", and a terrace named "Buddy Holly Terrace.")
Connie Francis - My Heart Has A Mind Of Its Own (V 3). Maybe the best song she ever did.
