And just as a trillion viewers were beginning to say ... this site never gets updated ... bingo! I've finally decided to start the process of a mega revamp, starting with this fantastic memorabilia digital print offer, see box below. When I started this site in 1996, it was early days for me and the mysteries of html. All these years later and I've now decided things have to change and so a major re-build is in progress. Yes, I know the guestbook is full and umpteen links no longer go to where they're supposed to go ... but it's going to change! soon!!! I'm adding a discussion forum, wow! and a pile of new info and goodies...see you soon!
You can now buy memorabilia online...Rave ON!!!

Buddy Hollys OMEGA wristwatch

This is an *amazing* piece of memorabilia. Read the extract from Christie's catalogue:
Buddy Hollys OMEGA wristwatch A 14 karat white gold Omega gentlemen's wristwatch with forty-five single cut diamonds set around the bezel that rock-n-roll icon Buddy Holly was wearing "the day the music died" on February 3, 1959 when his plane crashed near Clear Lake, Iowa. Discovered after the snows had melted and presented to the Holley family by the local sheriff, the watch is inscribed on the back Buddy Holly 12-1-58, commemorating the purchase date. Sadly, Buddy had only two months left to live. According to eldest brother Larry Holley (Buddy had dropped the "e" from the family surname in his professional life), the twenty-two year old was very happy with this expensive purchase and proudly displayed it when he came home to Lubbock, Texas for his last Christmas visit. A color photograph showing Buddy Holly wearing this very special wristwatch is included though only the band, which did not survive the crash, is visible. The dial is still in surprisingly good condition; the jewel movement needs minor adjustment and cleaning. A letter of authenticity from Larry Holley is included as well and states in part
"This was Buddy's last watch, the one he had on in the plane crash."

The Buddy Holly story began when Ella Holley gave birth to her fourth child in the small cotton town of Lubbock in Texas, on 7th September 1936. He was christened Charles Hardin Holley, but his parents decided that 'it was too long a name for such a little boy'. They decided to call him 'Buddy', a popular nickname for the youngest in the family. The spelling of Holley to Holly, was a result of his name being mis-spelt on a recording contract in 1956 - he never changed it!  Buddy Album cover
