Was in the mood for some good music!

based on the life and career of Ritchie Valens? That's another one with great music but sad ending.

as does the title,

La Bamba is the name of the movie & Lou Diamond Phillips played Ritchie.

If you get a chance to see it, I bet you'd like it. It might be on Netflix but I'm not sure.

that's MY music, after all!

you have seen The Jersey Boys? Another one with our music that I loved.

BECAUSE of our music, Little Star!

Waylon Jennings gave his seat on the plane to him. Waylon had survivor's guilt for years after the crash.

in 1993 in London and still have the CD bought that evening. Fond memory.

From wiki:

Buddy – The Buddy Holly Story is a jukebox musical in two acts with a book written by Alan Janes, and music and lyrics by a variety of songwriters. Based on the life and career of early rock and roller Buddy Holly, the musical hews closer to Holly's actual life story than the 1978 film version. One of the first so-called "jukebox musicals," the show consists mostly of the songs of Holly and other early rockers.

The musical was conceived by Londoner Laurie Mansfield, who pitched the idea to film producer Greg Smith and writer Alan Janes in 1988. Paul Elliot, a West End producer took on the project, and support from Paul McCartney (who owned the copyrights to Holly's music and objected to inaccuracies in the movie) ensured the show's creation. Opening in 1989, the musical initially ran in London's West End for over 12 years, and also had a brief Broadway production, with numerous subsequent tours and productions continuing to run around the world
