After all these years, still heartbroken over the loss of their little brother. That's a LONG time. Been 23 years since I lost my brother ... I know the feeling.
When your really close with a relative , Dad , Mom , brother or sister . Its damn tough . I lost my Dad an Mom within a yrs time . That was about 7 yrs ago , an i still have a really hard time . :(

What a couple of gentlemen! Without their support Buddy may not have made it and we would never have had the progressive pop and rock that followed, he inspired so many musicians.
Me, included. "Coincidentally," my very first guitar was the same make, model and year that Buddy started with. I didn't find that out until a month or so ago, best I can remember ...
From the huge impact of Buddy's music and getting to know Buddy's family background through his brothers, I really think that we should all be thanking the Lord Jesus for the gift of his music. The gospel of love that suffused this family shows in everything I read and see and hear.
That was very interesting to listen to. I like the story about Buddy getting up on the stage with the band after he schmoozed them!!! THey must have been might impressed by his singing and playing!!! It's nice know that Buddy was moving back home and was going to be building a studio there. This shows how real he was and not some made up recording celebrity.
Every interview I've ever seen with Larry and Travis always has given a new perspective on Buddy's life. Larry has always struck me as an amazing person. I would have loved to have a big brother like him. More people nowadays need mentors like Larry. Thank you for raising your little brother like you did, sir! God speed!
Interesting to hear two things from Larry: 1 - that Buddy was planning to move back to Lubbock, and already had plans in the works for a new home & studio 2 - his theory about 4 warm bodies inside the plane fogging up the windows - never thought about that before
Autumn '78 visiting Lubbock on my way to start college in WA, I was privileged to talk on the phone with one of Buddy Holley's brothers. His voice sounded more like Larry's. Larry reminisced 'When Buddy was a young teen I sometimes thought of him as a gangly kid playing his guitar on and on upstairs and warbling off key. While I, the 'responsible older brother' haha, worked long days for the family tile company. ...In a year or two Buddy made us all so proud of his gift, his giving, his skills.' The movie had just come out, I'd seen it in NYC. I wanted to visit Lubbock. I got to talking in a friendly hair salon. The woman proprietor offered, 'I'm friends with the family. I'll call Buddy's brother...'
I just created a FB Page for their dear brother Buddy. It is True Love Ways ~ The Buddy Holly Fan Group. It is a labor of love. Please check it out and join it.Thank you Lubbock and beyond.
How sad, you can tell these men really loved their little brother and missed him for the rest of their lives.... I have known of Larry for 25 years, but, what is the middle brother's name?
I think Buddy's brother's memory must be failing him. He said Buddy paid $600 for a brand new Strat around 1956 or 57. The price brand new back then was only around $275.00
Were they all that same price because I seem to remember in one of his biographies that Buddy bought a Strat that was top of the line. I thought I read that Larry loaned him a grand, which the majority went to a guitar and the rest for some stage clothes that Buddy could perform in.

My grandfather lost his little brother 69 years ago, he still breaks down when he thinks about it. It'll never change.
I'm just a Buddy Holly fan - but, whenever I sing his songs, especially "True Love Ways", I can't help but choke up.

Buddy must of been a wonderful person! Probably very much like his brothers!!

This is how it used to be . These are real men.
Real gentleman, the real deal.
Couldn't agree more!
Wonderful family-his brothers are really caring gentlemen.
Holleys Are Wonderful folks!
This video brought a smile to my face but a tear to my eye.
Love to see the pride in Travis' face when he listens to his brother Larry tell stories about Buddy.
From the huge impact of Buddy's music and getting to know Buddy's family background through his brothers, I really think that we should all be thanking the Lord Jesus for the gift of his music. The gospel of love that suffused this family shows in everything I read and see and hear.
To me, Buddy was and Is one of the KINGS of rock and roll. Buddy's music will outlast us all.
Damn right
Good people Lord give them strength and great musicians too

I think the gentleman playing the guitar favors Buddy. What sweet men.

Nice family and love the stories. Gone to soon unfortunately but memories have no time limit as long as we are able to recall them
Lovely Brothers, bless them both.
His brothers seem like such nice men, it sounds like Buddy had a good, close knit family.
Great family

Aw god bless the Holley family, I've been a Buddy fan for many yrs ... sad day when he died.
AWESOME! It don't get more Lubbock, TX then that right there!
that was beautiful to watch, thank you for posting. such genuine gents.
IF Buddy Holly had been a quantum physicist, we would have had a theory of everything by now! He really was an incredible talented human being !
God bless them RIP
This brings me to tears, I miss my grandfather, he was the best!
Love these men, They were the very best.
Buddy's brothers are very cool cats ,it had to be hard losing their brother
If y'all are wondering what song they're singing it's Hank Williams Sr's I can't help falling in love with you
Legend - He was a legend- felt like I knew him.

Awesome men

@Andy Jones ty
His other brother's name is Travis Don Holley.
Oh the stories they must have had.
He could still be alive today if the accident never happened, such a sad thing.
That plane should of never left the ground
Lindo Homenaje...!!!
Budy eternamente
$600. For a fender stratocaster in the 50s? Man, they weren't givin em away even back then.
A new Strat back then was only $275. list.
❤️
I have a 59 Hofner President, the serial is not far off Buddy's one.
Wondering if buddy holly’s old room is still thair 🤓🎸🎙
❤️🎸👓❤️
Does anyone know if the brothers are still living ?
I believe larry holley is still alive. Travis, and Patricia holley (buddy's sister) are deceased.
Strangers knew before they did. What shame - disrespectful- family should know first.
