Happy birthday, Buddy Holly!

Buddy Holly would have been 71 years old this Friday, September 7.

To celebrate his life and music, Rudy Sheptock at WILW-FM (94.3) in Wildwood, N.J., will be offering a tribute show during his 7 p.m. to midnight oldies show on Friday night.

I'm honored to be among Rudy's guests. I'll be discussing Buddy's last tour, the subject of my 5-star Amazon-rated book, "The Day the Music Died," from 8:30 to 9 p.m., Central Daylight Time. I'll be followed by Peggy Sue Gerron (yes, that Peggy Sue).

Be there or be square!
