I love how this musical legend turns into a fanboy when he gets to hold the guitar of another musical legend

[@stevemullary8658]

This man has seen MORE musical history than we will ever get to know. He is truly revered in my heart and presence.

[@inez8335]

So great to see Graham's respect and reverence; and, of course, is how we feel about him too. 🙌

[@FrankieFile1]

Graham Nash is a wonderful human being. In person, on vinyl and through his camera lens. So kind.

[@rickycarter7154]

Thanks Buddy and Graham.

[@darrylbuckett5380]

Buddy Holly is my all time favourite musician, for all the obvious reasons, back in 64-65 I saw the Hollies twice and on one of those times I got Graham's autograph, so with this video I feel one step closer to the music of Buddy Holly, Because without him Rock N Roll would be.. well it just wouldn't be. Cheers

[@alanhodges8839]

Mine too.

[@alanhodges8839]

Thanks for this picture of Buddy the greatest of all time.

[@1962LIBBY]

That was just damn excellent.

[@2011littlejohn1]

I wrote a story that Buddy missed the plane had a car accident and lost his memory then 20 years later remembered who he was. It was a labour of wishful thinking love. I know a guy John Anderson who went to the U.S. drove to Lubbock and jammed with a guy who had played with Buddy Holly I will be green forever about that.

[@acexprt]

Isn’t this a movie? I feel like I’ve heard this before.

[@2011littlejohn1]

@@acexprt Are you talking about Graham Nash or my post?

[@TCSC47]

Great tribute to Buddy Holly.

[@Materialworld4]

Thanks Graham, and Buddy.

[@tonylittle2744]

I was on my way to school and saw my friend Paul standing on the pavement crying. When he told me we both cried.Graham, that was so lovely.

[@silentangel.ie-abe7]

This is so good .. Buddy Smiling ..

[@andrewbowen8122]

Lol look at him he’s a proper fanboy and I mean that in every good sense of the word. What a true artist Buddy must of been to make and tool that leather cover which does nothing for the tone mind you, but it looks so cool.

[@dannyboi607]

I’m surprised how well the guitar still sounds after all these years

[@thomaspappalardo7589]

Guitars typically sound better as they age. Admittedly, the leather cover muffles the sound a bit.

[@peterhaynes8258]

" THE DAY THE MUSIC DIED " R.I.P. BUDDY, RITCHIE, JP & ROGER ( PILOT )

[@kaymuldoon3575]

Yes, Roger Peterson. He was young like Buddy was. And Ritchie. I believe JP was the oldest person on that plane stage 28.

[@jimmayors2315]

Chain Lightning - it's a concept of touching, seeing, being in the place your idols have been, experiencing the chain yourself. I think that is also what Steely Dan's song of the same name was about too.
"Hush brother, we cross the square
Act natural like you don't care
Turn slowly and comb your hair
Don't trouble the midnight air
We're standing just where he stood
It was chain lightning
It feels so good"

[@DETROITBULLET]

Rock and roll that's all I can say .. touching the flame 🔥

[@antonygilbey8068]

Love the Hollies, and I want that guitar,,I wish.

[@bernhardnizynski4403]

I remember Buddy Holly's death - it had such an impact on me even as a 10 year old!

[@StevieZero]

Wow!!!

[@brendanaschinski-bp9dj]

Graham Nash is a sentimental person

[@user-lx1du2ur2o]

Gary bussy played that guitar on the arsenio hall show

[@apogeedata]

❤️❤️❤️

[@stevenedwards4470]

Those leather guitar condoms hurt the sound. Now I know Busey is crazy. I would never have given that guitar up. I would live in a trailer first.

[@joemack1884]

He called Buddy's band The Hollys

[@da324]

When? He mentioned the Hollies, which he was in, who took their name after Buddy's last name.

[@cinquettitt6161]

Who owns the acoustic Gibson guitar of Buddy Holly?

[@michaelgonzalez7304]

MOPOP owns it.

[@ulyssestinoco3719]

Doesn't Gary Busy own this guitar, or did it go up for sale?

[@BEHEDETY]

EPIC AND FUNNY

[@liberalsrmentallyflawed3611]

Gibson J45 Banner.. actually has a decent sound even though it's basically wrapped in leather..

[@daveyvane9431]

Buddy Holly, Eddie Cochran, Bobby Fuller…

[@sunflowermahea225]

Why did gary sell it?

[@COINGOBLIN78]

unfortunately i think he needed money

[@stephenfiore9960]

What brand guitar?

[@grahamp2270]

It was mentioned in a caption, it's a Gibson J45.

[@Hot80s]

Mopop or no Bop.

[@outtathyme5679]

Weeeeee

[@EvilJoeHawley]

[@tennised2283]

What a drip. You should never play Buddy Holly's guitar, you should never even touch it. According to "Spinal Tap", you probably shouldn't even look at it...
