A bit of this and a bit of that ... with a reminder that, had he lived, Lubbock-based rock ’n’ roll innovator Charles Hardin (Buddy) Holly would be celebrating his 78th birthday today.
He was born on Sept. 7, 1936.
Sadly, he perished, at age 22, in the crash of a private airplane on Feb. 3, 1959.
The last of his weekend birthday festivities take place today at the Buddy Holly Center, 1801 Crickets Ave.
