I was very busy within the last days working on my website Yeah, BUDDY ! to present another highlight after the letter of Buddy's mother. Starting today you'll find a report about an NBC CHANNEL 9 transmission from News At Ten, 3rd of February, 2005.

I hope you'll like it and I'd like to know if there are other specials available with the topic Buddy Holly from this year.

Does anybody know?

All the best to you

Greetings Hans, I thoroughly enjoyed browsing your website and especially enjoyed the latest posting about the telecast. It appears to have originated in Denver - is that correct? I visit Denver twice a year, and I plan to try to look up the Runaway Express and Raven Records folks.

I promised to meet you on this discussion board when I signed your guestbook. Here I am!

Hello Brentwood David,

many thanks to you signing my guestbook on the "hot" Buddy Holly website being enlarged day by day.

If you should really meet my friends Jimbo and SalGal and maybe the whole gang, too, make a lot of snapshots for me, please, I promise to publish the best ones on my website, so the world can see that Buddy is alive !

RE from Colorado keep the memory alive. That's what counts.

I forgot to mention that you are absulutely correct.

The telecast was originated in the Denver area.

My friend Jim Ratts recorded it for me, sent it to the other side of the planet and I made a report about this broadcast on my website Yeah, BUDDY !

Hi Hans,

I want to commend you on having the best Buddy Holly fansite on the web (well, maybe 2nd best to this one ). Keep up the great work.

Hi Balcony Buddy,

Thank you for the flowers you sent to the other side of the planet !

I do my very best to live my hobby and to bring all I have and all I know about Buddy to the world's greatest community, the internet.

Within the next hour I'll change a lot on my homepage.

You'll find a new hot topic there.

It's about our mutual Buddy, who else ?

And tell your freinds, what you've seen for the first time anywhere.

Yeah, BUDDY !

Cheers from the other side of the planet from Buddy's German buddy

Guten tag; es freut mich:

Thanks for keeping Bud alive in Germany & Europe!

I hope one day to make to Iowa for the Winter Dance Party ritual.

Have you ever been?

Thank you for the flowers,

the flame is still burning stronger than ever ..

No, I've never been to America, I traveled througout Europe for my company, Steelcase Incorporated, Grand Rapids, Michigan, the world's number 1 in office furniture, I've been ther for 34 years until they closed down the plant in my home town Dortmund in Germany.

But I think we all can do a lot to keep the flame burning, I'm doing my very best with my new website and I am very successful at the moment.

You know, that my website is recommended twice on this excellent and official Buddy Holly website. Categories are: "websites" and "fans".

Buddy Holly is always a topic, every day is a Holly day, I'll do my very best to send Buddy's message around the world.

I'm in contact at the moment with John Beecher, Sonny West, Texas Mike Bell, Carl Bunch, Tommy and Austin Allsup, Sherry Holley and some more and I'm sure that I can publish a lot more about all these Buddy Holly related people, let's wait and see . . .

Runaway Express are an outstanding band, better than the well known ones, sometimes the wrong ones get the money and those, who should deserve it, are in second row.

Cheers from the other side of the planet
