Came here for the 63rd anniversary. RIP Waylon. I hope you and Buddy are rocking up there in heaven 🎤🎸

[JMPK]

You can tell he missed his friend by the fondness of the stories.

I wonder what Country music would of been like if Waylon had not given up his seat on that plane. Waylon Jennings started the whole Change in Nashville with the Outlaw movement in Country music in the 70's. Soo sad what happened to buddy n those other 3 men. RIP to all. RIP Waylon

Thank You, Buddy, for turning Waylon on to Groove. hearing Richie Albright’s drum tracks with the bass groove on Waylon’s records tells the tale. thank God & Buddy Holly that Waylon found Richie and vice-versa. RiP, Guys…I hope they’re ready for y’all

It was not Waylons time to die, I truly believe that

[waylonvids]

Waylon was such a genuinely nice person. I can't say that I "knew" the man, but I got to be around him for several hours mostly by myself over the course of two days. He knew I was nervous to be around him initially as I was just a kid at 22. He made me feel very much at ease and honestly I can't say there was anything he wasn't willing to talk about. Of course I didn't ask him anything about Buddy or anything controversial. I mostly mean things like questions about his music and his opinions on music of the day and the artists he most respected or had little to no respect for.

Remembering Buddy on his birthday today🌹
Nice to hear Waylon again, sure do miss him.

Waylon was right about that. Labels must be for the bean counters. What I find confusing today is "Country Music". I think in the 40s through the late 1970s "Country" would have meant one thing. But once the 80s and even through today I would find it hard to define "Country Music". Maybe some of the old timers would think you would have passed bad air. But those who make their living as country musicians play and record so many different styles.

I think that Waylon was the best in country. No one comes even close.

[lowriderpride]

Rip to buddy Ritchie and Jp but I’m sooo happy Waylon didn’t get on I’m glad I found his music rip to the greatest singer

[ktor]

Waylon❤❤❤ check out his grandson Whey Jennings and great grandson William, they sound like their grandpa for sure🤟

[Tickbryan]

Waylon’s music was so different from what country music sounds were when he came on the scene. His influence was so much that when we were in the studio, the producer would tell the drummer, “let’s try that Waylon beat “. We all knew what he meant.

[brianlion]

When something fell while Waylon was talking about Buddy, it was almost like Buddy was causing that little disturbance...

[Mike-]

The story Waylon tells reminds me of young men going off to war and the one's that return feel regret that they survived the war.

[babywah]

I did read that Buddy Holly loved country and initially wanted to do that music. Chuck Berry was the same when it came to the blues.

[malkielben-tzur]

Buddy was the Lubbock Flash, then Waylon was, now nobody.

[mattjones]

Didn't know how much Jennings learned about music from Holly

[MarinaRae-pcwi]

Hey robbie if u see this will u please meet me qt the surf??!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[stewartfenton]

Waylon, now you would know well that Chuck, Bo, Fats and Richard, just for starters, wrote their own songs."Brown Eyed Handsome Man" for instance. Buddy wasn't the first, and he wasn't the first one that didn't sound like Elvis. I know you know that, but that's OK.
