Today is also the birthday for Jerry Allison, drummer for Buddy Holly and the Crickets. Yes, he's still around and still drumming!
To check out his work, past and present, here's the link to A Happy 76th Video Birthday to the Immortal Buddy Holly.
You can also catch Jerry's work with the Crickets and Waylon Jennings by visiting Happy 2012 Video Birthday to the Legendary Sonny Curtis.
Happy Birthday, Jerry, and may you have many more. "Peggy Sue" still rocks harder than almost any other tune that's ever been written, and set the standard for 10,000 drummers since then!
(ps - Yes, I KNOW it's also Van Morrison's birthday today! Still checking out the links, and will post it as soon as I can.)
