I just got a message from Paul Waters. Many of you may remember him
from Winter Dance Parties at the Surf Ballroom during the 80's and
90's. He is a Lubbock native, and a genuine Holly fan. Anyway, he
informed me that he is in the process of reforming his band. The same
guys who played with him from coast to coast, opening for everyone
from Carl Perkins, The Every Brothers, and Edger Winter. I know
that's a stretch, but there are too many artists to list here. This
is really great news to me, and to you also if you get a chance to
see them. I first met Paul back in 1983. He was fresh up from
Lubbock, and he put me on the floor with his rendition on Holly's
music. I had never heard the music live before. I only knew Buddy
from records. If any of you remember Paul from the Surf, let me know
what you think.
