Joe Ely & Todd Snider – Oh Boy PLUS Waylon Jennings with more of the Buddy Holly Story (1996 TNN). From my Sunday Night Hall of Fame Show tapes and my VHS Buddy Holly collection:
This video begins with a segment from the February 1996 TNN cable channel special: “Not Fade Away – Remembering Buddy Holly”. This time it’s Joe Ely & Todd Snider with their version of “Oh Boy”. The TNN (The Nashville Network) two-night special was hosted by Waylon Jennings and coincided with a Decca label release for a CD of the same name.

Next up is another segment from the TNN special with Waylon Jennings discussing a little bit more of the Buddy Holly story.

Buddy Holly and the Crickets became one of my favorites in 1957 when I first heard “That’ll Be The Day” on my radio. I started writing, producing and hosting tributes to Buddy, Ritchie Valens and the Big Bopper as early as 1969 on WEEX - AM 1230 in Easton, Pa. That was the tenth anniversary of the plane crash and coincided with the Coral album release “Buddy Holly - Giant”. At first I called the special tribute show “Three Star Special”, as influenced by a 1959 hit song “The Three Stars” by Tommy Dee. After Don McLean’s dedication of “American Pie” to Buddy, I started calling the show “The Day the Music Died”. My tribute shows continued throughout my broadcast radio career in the Lehigh Valley, PA and Northwest New Jersey area. The last time my five-hour special aired was February 3, 1999 on WODE – Oldies 99.9.

To Recap: This video features a couple of segments from the TNN cable channel special “Not Fade Away – Remembering Buddy Holly” with Joe Ely & Todd Snider’s version of “Oh Boy” and Waylon Jennings discussing a little more of the Buddy Holly story. The video and audio tracks have been restored from a VHS tape that I recorded off the TNN cable in 1996..

The Sunday Night Hall of Fame Show was broadcast from 1980 to 1992 on WAEB - AM 790 and WKAP – AM 1320. My show returned between 1999 and August 2001 on WODE “ Oldies 99.9”. All stations were located in the Allentown – Bethlehem – Easton, PA area, AKA: The Lehigh Valley.
