When I was living my life from a place of scarcity as I mentioned in my previous post, I stuck close to home and didn't get out much in order to save money. Therefore, one thing I am really trying to work on this year is venturing out of my humble abode a bit more and enjoying the heck out of the rest of my life. I have challenged myself to attend 2 - 3 events per month, and so far, so good!!
I made it out to a brand new Dark Wave/New Wave/Synthpop event that is being hosted at a dive bar in Fort Worth at the beginning of this month, and last night, I caught the Garland Civic Theatre's performance of "The Buddy Holly Story." It was such a delightful show, and the energy from the performers had the audience head-bopping, hand-clapping, and foot-tapping throughout the evening.
I wasn't sure what to expect, but I was beyond excited to learn more about Buddy Holly over a roughly 2 hour period. I was blown away by how effortlessly the actors/actresses worked their way around the minimal stage set-up. It was just a lighthearted way to pass the evening despite the tragic ending to the story itself.
It was pointed out to the audience that February 3, 2019, will mark the 60th anniversary of Buddy Holly's passing. In the playbill was a page that summarized Buddy Holly's influence on some prominent musicians. I really had no idea that so many of the greats were inspired by Buddy Holly, but it increased my appreciation for him all the more.
I'm looking at New Mexico for my next road trip, so I will definitely have to pass through Lubbock to check out all the Buddy Holly memorabilia. I'll keep you posted.
In the meantime, go support these lovely performers... it will be the best $18.00 you spend this first part of 2019... I guarantee it!!
I already posted most of my favorite Buddy Holly tunes during Week Ninety-Three, but here are a few more for you today. In addition to "Maybe Baby," I'll also offer you "Think It Over" and "It Doesn't Matter Anymore"... enjoy!!
Until next time...
XOXOXO

Maybe baby, I'll have you
Maybe baby, you'll be true
Maybe baby, I'll have you for me (all for me)
It's funny honey, you don't care
You never listen, to my prayer
Maybe baby, you will love me some day (someday)
Well, you are the one that makes me glad
And you are the one that makes me sad
When some day, you'll want me
Well, I'll be there, wait and see
Maybe baby, I'll have you
Maybe baby, you'll be true
Maybe baby, I'll have you for me (all for me)
Da-da-ta-da-da-da da-da-da
Da-da-ta-da-da-da da-da-da
Da-da-ta-da-da-da da-da-da
Ahh-ahh-ahh
Well, you are the one that makes me glad

Well, I'll be there, wait and see
Maybe baby, I'll have you
Maybe baby, you'll be true
Maybe baby, I'll have you for me (all for me)
Maybe baby I'll have you for me (you're for me)
