When Tom Dunphy was killed on July 29th 1975, two days later the Miami Showband were attacked by terrorist which saw 3 members of the group loose their lives. A sad time for the Irish Showband scene. May they Rest In Peace.

A very nice Buddy Holly styled song. Buddy's HUGE impact on music still needs to be properly recognized.
