For those of you interested in
getting an early WDP fix before my new book hits the shelves,
you can do no better than Alan Clark's newest book, "The Life
and Times of Buddy Holly and the Crickets Volume Three. Inside
this book you will be treated to some great stories about that
tour, some of them even new to me! Truly a labor of love and
something deserving of being in every Buddy Holly and the
Crickets library. Great job, Alan! Ryan Vandergriff ------------------------------------- Dear Alan, Finished your book. I really liked it and you've done an excellent job as usual. I liked your asides. I enjoyed your book and I'm sure the volumes on Ritchie and Jape will be as good. Sue Frederick ------------------------------------ I have just got home from the Clovis Music Festival and one of the highlights was seeing good friend Alan Clark and getting his long awaited volume three of The Life And Times Of Buddy Holly And The Crickets. This book has been eagerly anticipated for a long time now following Alan's superb previous two volumes and this edition covering the end of the final tour and the tragic accident does not let the reader down. Once again Alan has included many advertisements for the tour that have not been published before and many rare and unseen photographs. A real bonus was the section covering Buddys' influence on the music world since his tragic death and shows very clearly how far ahead of his time he really was. I could not put this book down and would recommend it to any rock'n'roll fan who wants the facts in an accurate and entertaining format. I also picked up Alans new photo book containing his pictures of all the music stars he has met and worked with over his own substantial music career. From Del Shannon to Roy Orbison via Carl Perkins, Alan really has met them all. You need to add these two outstanding books to your music library as soon as you can. Please save me a copy of your next publication Alan..... Chris Rees. September 2011 ------------------------------------ Another great contribution to the Buddy Holly body of knowledge! I don't know where you find the energy to keep cranking out stuff like this, but keep it coming!! Graham Pugh - Oklahoma USA ------------------------------------ What a fantastic set of books you've put together. A great addition to any Holly collection. Cheers! Chris Hopkins ------------------------------------ Just received
Volume Three. A great piece of work. Lots of bits I never knew
and some new pics for me. A set you can keep going back too.
Great work Alan-well done.

------------------------------------ Danny Todd-Oklahoma ------------------------------------- Alan, I have just finished reading Volume Three of your Buddy Holly biography for the second time. What a superb publication! Coupled with Volumes One and Two, they make a superb set of books which taken together are terrific reading and increase the knowledge of Buddy Holly to a very large extent. Many, many thanks and please keep them coming. Can you please let me know what your next publication(s) is (are) going to be. Volume One of your Music Memories publication has arrived. Lovely! Best regards. Dave Stone United Kingdom ------------------------------------- Alan The Life & Times Of Buddy Holly & the Crickets-Volume 3 Love It!!!! Excellent!!! Gary Clevenger ------------------------------------- Book 3 is really cool as it has a lot of the articles that happened after 2-3-1959 Great job Alan!!! Chuck Dale ------------------------------------- Hi, Alan! I received the new Life & Times of Holly and the Crickets. "WOW"!! I've got to say you've really covered the bases (so much material on the WDP that is new to me)! It's interesting, following the Crickets' progress through the early '60's.Once again, congratulations on an awesome book! "CHEERS!" Ken Cone ------------------------------------- Just finished reading your Buddy Holly book set. Superb! Just loved it! I want the book to keep on going...to never end. Thank you for writing these books, Alan. Tom Corkan ------------------------------------- Alan's books are written different to most others, he writes them how we like 'em best. Almost like as if it's your own personal scrapbook, lots of photos, 'cuttings' and trivia, but also lots of real fact. No controversy either. Looks like this book'll be a valuable one, like Larry Lehmer's was, about The Three Stars. Good guy, that Alan Clark! Helluva nice guy, too, and....one helluva singer too! Looking forward to seeing you at the Surf if not before, Alan. Yer English buddy, Paul |
