Bill Griggs, noted historian of 1950's and early 1960's rock ‘n’ roll music, particularly that of West Texas rock ‘n’ roll music, and an authority on Buddy Holly and the Crickets, has completed his five-volume reference series, Buddy Holly Day-By-Day.

After seven years of work, this 340-page reference work was published as a series of five full-size booklets. This is the most comprehensive inventory of dates and facts pertaining to Buddy Holly ever assembled in one place. ALL dates have been confirmed through existing checks, receipts, letters, tickets, contracts, etc. For the first time, the complete run of checks written on the Buddy Holly and the Crickets account in Clovis from 1957 through 1959 is presented. You’ll find recording dates, tour dates, what hotels he and his group stayed in, and much more. Also depicted (full page size) is every Buddy Holly and the Crickets performance contract.

Some general questions you’ll get answered: Did you know the city of Lubbock once issued a warrant for Buddy’s arrest? How much did he pay for his class ring? Do you know the name of his pet dog? He had his teeth capped in 1957. Who was the dentist and what was the cost? What about the lawsuit he was involved with at the time of his death. How was his estate handled?

It’s all here with, literally, hundreds of dated entries. You’ll find this work fascinating and I GUARANTEE that even the most ardent Buddy Holly fan will discover at least 40% new information they weren’t aware of.

Complete with over 190 photos and illustrations, mostly of "paper" items depicting checks, invoices, and letters, etc., this series of five booklets will be all you ever need to know about the life and music of Buddy Holly to completely satisfy your curiosity.
