You picked a song that I would have never thought of. That shows that you want something other than the usual mainstream. Good!

You say you play all the parts? Well, you can and I can't so that's even better!

You kept the song in it's traditional Buddy Holly beat and style. I'm curious as to how it would sound in a more subtle beat.

The fact that you laid down all the parts to the song speaks volumes to me as I can hardly play one instrument, let alone 3,4, or more. I say that is great!

Did you sing the song? If you did, try not to sound like Buddy Holly. Just sound like yourself. Of course, I can't sing so I need not comment any further on that issue.

It's OK. I don't think it will reach #1 on Billboard by October but if I had done it I certainly would not have been ashamed of it.

Buddy Holly is the guy who invented the cool glasses.

Well, Buddy Holly is from Lubbock too.

Come to think of it, so is Lloyd Maines (and the whole Maines clan).

And those guys in the Flatlanders.

And Charlie McDonald.

Nice job on the song, Chaz.

Really very nice. I probably should be familiar with the original, but if I am, it's only vaguely. I'm fairly certain you've introduced some personalized touches in the chord progressions that sound very cool. In particular, when the chords ascend with that nice open sound (like at the end of the solo before the last verse). I think the balance of instruments is quite good. Only the vocal I'd say is a little uneven sounding in volume. Sometimes it's right there and then it falls into the background too much I think. The vocal itself, you should be proud of, as with all the playing.

Really nice.
