Gary Moore shows love of Buddy Holly : According to the internet media,its all about the latest news and updates,internet media provided real hot topic information,that news latest updates is, Gary W. Moore has not caught up on American rock ’n’ roll history, not all of it anyway.But as a latecomer to the short-lived success of Lubbock’s influential native son, Charles Hardin “Buddy” Holly, Moore has written an entertaining, informative and often fun book that may interest those with similar backgrounds — while making the most diehard Holly fans nod quietly and, through either smiles or tears, whisper to themselves the words, “That’s right.”
The title of his book is “Hey Buddy,” with a subtitle “In Pursuit of Buddy Holly, My New Buddy John, and My Lost Decade of Music.”
He will discuss and sign his book at the Buddy Holly Center at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday, the 52nd anniversary of Holly’s death.
Moore does not mind being the source of humor; the first big laugh in his book arrives when he admits that his mother-in-law is more hip about rock ’n’ roll.
But then, that’s how the project started.
Living in Illinois, Moore agreed to drive more than 300 miles so that his in-laws could enjoy “John Mueller’s Winter Dance Party” in Iowa.
Afterward, Moore was unable to quench his hunger to learn more about Holly.
That said, his publisher, probably aware of John Goldrosen’s definitive biography of Holly, was less than encouraging when Moore pitched another Holly book. “I’m not interested,” he said.
At least not until he read Moore’s first few chapters.
Moore makes it clear even now that his book is neither biography, nor history. Rather, it is about his personal journey to discover how Holly’s life and music have impacted others.
