Hey Man, ur a big man indeed, a few negative comments on here & all the ones Ive read you have answered very positively & with dignity. As far as the clips concerned, I hear you when you say it was 7 or 8 years ago, I hate seeing clips of old performances Ive done. For my part, I think its fine & trust me, I know my Buddy stuff very well >>> Keep keepin that fien name alive & good luck with all future shows ... In a world of negative & aggressive Internet comments your a huge part of the cure :)

The guitar is not heavy enough on the down beat. It should be accentuating it. "Buddy" is httin' it on the up beat & the "Crickets" are hitting it where it should be. The strumming hand needs to be heavier on the down, not the up strum if that makes any better sense. Only real things I see missing. Doesn't matter who wrote it. Buddy made it his. Singer doesn't have the yelp [Texas twang] in his voice as Buddy did. The beginning should almost be like he's hick-upping. Great tribute band though.

@rockabillyotis I think this is very good. Tribute shows and bands are tricky because people always expect to hear things "the right" way - i.e. the way THEY heard it the first time they heard it.

The guitar playing hasn't the attack that Buddy had, but not bad!
