I could listen to you interview David for hours. His memory is unbelievable.

[@timetravelerify]

Me too!!!! Very nice man, and very fascinating!!!!!!

[@greyimmanuel2193]

I dont mean to be so off topic but does someone know a tool to log back into an instagram account? I was stupid lost the password. I love any help you can give me!

[@frankorlando3794]

@Grey Immanuel Instablaster ;)

[@greyimmanuel2193]

@Frank Orlando i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Seems to take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@greyimmanuel2193]

@Frank Orlando it did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. Im so happy! Thank you so much, you saved my account!

[@hewgrebe4771]

Buddy Holly liked working with Norman Petty up until the end of his tenure with him at the end of 1958. Great how they have made his studio into a nice museum. Fun to see. Thanks.

[@blazefairchild465]

I saw a musical in Philadelphia PA. a few years ago it was the Buddy Holly Story. Every time a song was sung everyone sang along. After the encore everyone was singing and dancing. It was a fantastic night I went with an older widowed friend she cried for joy all through the show as this was her & her husband s favorite dancing music back in the day. I was so honored to go with her.

[@bedazzled64]

This was INCREDIBLE! Loved hearing David Bingham's recollections of everything. That studio, wow!!! Excited to see the reunion!

[@janeritter8702]

LOVE IT! The THRILL of everything you saw SHINES through! David Bingham is a sweet gentleman and he invited you back for the REUNION - how SPECIAL is that!?! I inherited some of those old vinyl 45 rpm records from the 50's & 60's and I learned the songs while growing up. EXCELLENT, Jordan - THANK YOU for another exciting vlog. Take care.

[@mikejames-drummerreginacan1386]

In the late 1980's I played a number of shows in Canada with Buddy Knox. His stories were just like this fellows..........THANKS for making this video.

[@kikovazquez7277]

Catching up 4 years later. This is great work Jordan and what a great subject David is as the historian who was active on the scene when the history was being made. I hope David continues to thrive. I drove through Clovis on my first drive across America in 1974 - hard to imagine it was less than 20 years after all the greatness was going down in Norman Petty's studio that I knew nothing about at the age of 22 - though I knew "That'll Be The Day" and "Peggy Sue"! I'll be taking another drive across the backroads coast to coast in 2024, and hope to be able to explore this space as I'll make a point to route myself through Clovis.

[@michaelcraig9449]

So you have taken cross country drives on all backroads, no freeways, before? What was that like? I really want to do that, and go to this place and record some songs.

[@kikovazquez7277]

@@michaelcraig9449 I have made 10 round trip crossings of the U.S. from coast to coast - so 20 crossings in all, and wiggle waggled north to south and north again. I'd turn a normal 2800 mile cross country drive into a 4000 mile adventure going wherever the breeze carried me. Also a couple of trips across Canada along with some road trips in Mexico. I am 71 now, and these trips were in my prime through middle age. Eventually career focus became too serious to allocate the time necessary to do it my way: that is, no freeways unless absolutely necessary, no time limits, and enough financial resources to do it comfortably, though some trips were focused on backpacking in the wild places so finance was less of an issue. I aspired to wander around without a tight agenda from my childhood, and arranged my life so I could find windows to have great experiences. I loved road movies, road music, and literature of the road. If my prime years were now instead of 25-50 years ago I could have been like Jordan, or Huell Howser who did great PBS documentaries about road curiosities until he passed away some years ago. I had 3 distinct careers so every transition gave me an "early retirement" to satiate my wanderlust until the time came to resume real life and go back to work. I did it sometimes alone, and sometimes with a partner or a group of friends. The alone trips were great because I had all the control and that was what I yearned for on the road. I was obsessed with grass routes Americana - I wanted to know the small towns and the big cities, and the people along with the open spaces of the farm belts and mountains...I paid attention to Woody Guthrie's classic song proclaiming that "This land was made for you and me". Riding freeways is driving along concrete islands at fast speed completely removed from real life, real places, and real people. I'm retired now but have physical issues that prevent me from doing it again my way. But I'll do it anyway the best I can. This is a primary motivator that led me to change career every 10 years or so - 2 week vacations didn't do it for me, so I kept retiring temporarily. I didn't want to wait until I was old and could possibly be extremely limited in physical durability. So I did it when I was in shape to maximize the joy of it. But I'm still here, so I'll be out there on the road again and taking all the time I need to visit places I still haven't seen, return to many I have, and visiting old friends and lovers wherever they may be. 😉😉. I should add that there are always costs for the choices you make in life. My greatest cost was that my need for total freedom kept me single and without my own family. I could have done it, but that would have taken its own toll. I followed my heart. Anyway, you don't need to be as stubbornly dedicated to a vision as I was. Take a trip with the time and resources you have and make the necessary adjustments instead of waiting for an ideal combination of circumstances as I was privileged to do.

[@celestine811]

[@CottageCupcake]

As you said Jordan truly amazing! Very well done, again! 🎯from an Ohioan

[@raceprophet369]

I lived in Lubbock Texas in a house that Buddy and his father laid the tile in.........you did a great job on these Buddy Holly videos, I learned a lot, thanks~!

[@garyschneider2170]

Hi Jordan. I enjoyed playing Norman's Hammond and singing on stage with Vi Petty 1987, 1988, 1989. I never met Norman face to face but enjoyed talking to him on the phone. He gave me permission to record some of his songs back then. One of my other hobbies was and is stereoscopic (three-D) photography. I took many of the same pictures of the recording studio and the back porch. Glad to keep their memory alive. Gary Schneider Alameda, California

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

Very cool story

[@davidcote5787]

I am a huge Buudy Holly fan, I woudl love to visit Clovis and the Norman Petty Studio someday. Thanks so much Jordan for sharing this video, awesome historical feedback from Mr. Bigham.

[@chiptapp145]

This vlog was really cool and the stories that Mr. David was telling were amazing. Jordan your vlogs are great. Keep them coming.

[@annesantos5104]

This was a supercalifragilisticexpealidocious vlog, Jordan - love it! You are always so good at interviewing people and bringing out their best stories and reminiscences. David was no exception. I enjoyed listening to him and how exciting that you have been invited back in September for the reunion. Cool!

[@norbfio1]

LOVED this interview! So wonderful to hear stories from the people who were there working with the legends! Thank you Jordan!

[@Northern-Sounds]

Buddy was so good. My old records still sound amazing, even through a sea of crackles and jumps!

[@cliveedwards2958]

I cant believe all that equipment is still there from the days of Buddy Holly..must have been amazing to play some of those original keys that are used on 'everyday'...what a great episode..loved watching it from here in the UK

[@theresa56542]

Thank you for these Buddy Holly vlogs. Have loved Buddy Holly all my life. My parents turned me on to the oldies music.

[@carolrobinson2139]

Loved this vkig. Taken us way back to the good ole days!!! Loved hearing the stories of the recording sessions

[@faydavies8870]

The Buddy Holly/ Norman Petty story is very interesting. Well done you’ve done a great job.

[@fred3467]

You are truly a Renaissance man with your knowledge of old Hollywood and Rock music history. This vlog as well as your others shows the depth of your knowledge!

[@jeffkidd7409]

OUTSTANDING! Really enjoyed the interview and photo commentary Jordan. You are a gifted interviewer. The old studio equipment is and set up is awesome. Very nice of him to take the time to share all the stories with you and us! Thank you for taking the time and effort to keep history alive!

[@Sarah-bell]

Oh wow what a lovely man, and the things he knows of such a, hard, fickle, money orientated industry, loved listening to him so glad you got to talk with him. And share with us his musical life, and he let you play a original instrument from the studio, lucky you

[@maripeti4036]

What a fantastic vlog! WOW! I love listening to Mr Bigham!! I am so glad you got to do this, what an experience for you and taking us along, how great!!! Ty! That sounds exciting to go back in Sept!!! Love all the History behind the Music! Keep smiling!

[@blakecurtis7809]

Thanks for checking out the studio. Love checking out old school analog gear. All the microphones, preamps, tape machines and more is gear porn to me. Good interview, I like how he opened up about the alleged beef between Buddy and Norman.

[@lauriecoleman6361]

Oh Jordan this vlog was beyond awesome! So many memories within those walls! I simply loved watching this!!!!

This was amazing! I love everything from that time period. The music, movies, furniture, style...everything! That was a fantastic interview with David. He was such a sweet person and what a treat it must have been to tour in person. I can't wait for you to go back in September!

[@hooper4581]

Outstanding. Great interview w intelligent questions. Thanks for taking us along

[@nealmarshall2264]

Great video! Thanks for showing the place where it all happened.

[@75astro]

This was my Dad's favorite singer thanks for sharing

[@chrishutchinson2297]

David was so interesting. It is amazing to hear all of those stories from someone who was there. I was only about 6 or 7 at that time but it still brings me back. I love hearing about all this history. Thanks again Jordan.

[@thecoolj45221]

Maybe Baby" is my favorite Buddy Holly song

[@garyschneider2170]

I was very lucky to be invited by Vi PETTY for the music festival in clovis 1987, 1988, & 1989. I stayed with Bob and Ann Linville. I saved all of my correspondence with Norman and enjoyed talking to him on the phone. Unfortunately, i never got to see him in person. He gave me permission to record some of his songs on my first album. (JUST FOR FUN, JUST FOR FRIENDS) I have many great memories of my time in Clovis. I had a special treat playing Norman's Hammond Organ and singing with Vi. Gary Schneider Alameda, California

[@jamesstewart8054]

Jordan great video what a history lesson. Cheers James.

[@brycehongola2425]

I’m a huge fan of Buddy Holly I remember Peggy Sue when I was 5 in 1958,59.Became a big fan about 1990☮️🌵

[@rickenbacker315]

I was at the Studio about four years ago. It was really worth the time to stop by here! You step back in time, with all the vintage equipment. I also played the Solovox , such a cool little keyboard. I sang a little with David that day also...!

[@sandraplonka5225]

This is history. You are so lucky. ❤️

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

[@thatcadillacguy1961]

So good Jordan! Really enjoyed this vlog. Long live Buddy Holly!

[@kennethjackson4725]

I visited Norman petty studios a very long time ago. Kenneth. Arvin Jackson.

[@webchuck1]

Thank you Jordan, for keeping these legacy alive and all these great artists who gave us great music. Again thank you for all you do. 🎼🎸

[@choward1115]

So what a wonderful tour of old style recording equipment... nice to see, who knew they had to use so many different pieces of equipment to record a song but now a bunch of the songs are iconic, chart topping songs great tour Jordan!! I could listen to David all day. It’s just so heart warming to hear an original songster share the stories he witnessed first hand... yikes I’m so excited😍🥰... Thanks for pulling this together for your fans & viewers, Jordan...I think it’s the actor in you and your own enthusiasm that when you interview you add so much just being you, how wonderful!! 👍🏻🌸🌹🌻🌻👩🏻‍💻

[@scottieburnett5606]

I am amazed. To actually see the microphone and other recording studio equipment that Buddy Holly, Roy Orbison, and Waylon Jennings used is incredible. David Bingham’s stories, as a session vocalist, will live on in my head. My favorite Texas vlog so far.

[@carleenspada2293]

This was just the best on so many levels ... You just get better and better ❣ Can't sign off without mentioning how I adore little Jahs💕😍💕❣

[@beverlycarver8506]

Thank you so much for sharing this tour of the studio!! I was fascinated by David’s recollections. What a great guy! Getting firsthand information with no B.S. is just wonderful 🥰. I was especially transfixed when he talked about the making of “EVERYDAY “... a song that I fell in love with the first time I heard it back in 1957 when I was 9 years old ❤️

[@Jakexx01]

Thank you Jordan for doing your part in keeping this essential part of music history alive. God bless.

[@serenafanlife4226]

🦁 Jordan, Buddy Holly was AWESOME!!!! He passed on way too soon. You did another, GREAT vlog!!!! You are experiencing seeing many Amazing places and meeting people that are connected to some electrifying past and that is soo neat. 👏👍👏 Sending 🐒 Jah, some belly rubs.

[@tracimvs6840]

Love Buddy Holly. Great find!

[@bonniebrown6960]

Great history !! Love hearing all of these stories. Thank you Jordan !!

[@kncannon]

This is fascinating! Love it, especially the insight!

[@anneterri8960]

Amazing music history happened within the walls of Norman Petty Recording Studios. Jordan, I remember performing to the song titled -Wheels-. It was a catchy tune, and we danced and twirled baton.s

[@jinxieclark884]

FASCINATING. Doesn't matter if the title of your video is interesting or not, I always learn so much from watching and always am so fascinated at the end

[@crush41gb]

I love his fascinating life story and role in the history of music.. thank you kindly, bud and David! ;) Amazing opportunity and vlog! So happy for you!! :-D

[@ront9395]

Awesome Video. I love Buddy Holly. I'm 64, so I've been listening to him my whole life. Rave on!

[@erikmolnar6585]

Awesome Lion King! Thank you for interviewing that great man.

[@lowelledlee8019]

Thank you for this treasure. Peggy Sue was the first song I ever sang in public in 1963. I lived in Shallowater, Texas. The little town was on 13 miles from Lubbock, Texas. This 13 miles has been over run by Lubbock. When I lived there it was all cotton fields between us and Lubbock.

[@jorob46]

I wish that the next time there is a Buddy Holly documentary, they would interview David Bigham. What an new insight to Buddy's and Norm relationship.

[@jorob46]

great!!! I hope it comes out soon!!

[@mynameisvna]

You are a great interviewer. I could listen to David talk about all the memories all day. What a wonderful vlog!

[@Gord19]

Super Cool video! I was lucky enough to tour the studio few years ago. Im a huge Buddy Holley fan. Thanks for posting .Greetings from Vancouver Canada.

[@deebrown6160]

What an great vlog!! To see the original recording studio! Thanks for sharimg😊

[@bookfan1866]

Thank you so much for this video. I have always loved Buddy Holly. It was interesting hearing the man tell stories about all those great artists from the 50's it was great.

[@no.3royston612]

One of my favourite vlogs that you’ve done. How amazing to talk to someone who was actually there!!! And I’ve never seen a typewriter that prints music notes either but I want one!

[@cafdnw]

Thank You Jordan for vlogging and preserving history!! If it wasn’t for special people like You all of this man’s stories and the history would be lost forever ✌🏻👍🏻❤️

[@davidrush6547]

I've so enjoyed watching your vlogs on this Texas trip! I just turned 60 and Buddy Holly and Waylon Jennings are two of my favorite musical influences along with so many others. I can't thank you enough for letting me live out a trip I've always wanted to make myself, but couldn't afford to because I live on a fixed income. I'm also very happy to see someone as young as yourself get so enthused about the music of a guy rarely heard on the radio now. Being a musician myself I enjoy all of your music vlogs especially, but everything I've watched from your channel is well thought out, factual and above all entertaining...keep up the stellar work my friend and I remain a loyal viewer!✌️Dave Rush, Cincinnati, Ohio

[@theangendeavor9910]

Mind blowing vlog!! It was like stepping back in time!! The stories and the almost untouched recording studio, everything!!

[@bonniebarnett7202]

Hi Jordan, Enjoyed video today, thanks so much for sharing! Your friend Bonnie

[@Tina-de6lb]

This was great! I can tell listening to you tell us, you were soo excited! Love it!

[@pallasmeeks4678]

A 'hand on the keyboards' personal tour. Sweet, Jordan! While traveling from Indiana to SoCal with my son stationed at Camp Pendleton, I've developed a true love for New Mexico. I've been passing the Clovis NM exit sign for years. Just Wow! What I have been missing! I already decided that I want to visit Waylon's gravesite in Mesa, AZ while traveling through next trip. Now I shall plan to exit off the the beaten path of I-40 and visit some of these many wonderful places that you have so graciously brought into my world.

[@jons43]

FANTASTIC INTERVIEW. YOU ARE SPOT ON.

[@hippiescommonsensecorner1691]

Thank you for your Time David

[@raysilvajrakajookboxxx1024]

Bringing up historical stories are always interesting & informative! Thanks 🦁

[@shrinkdoc49]

This vlog was one of your best. I was stationed in Clovis at Cannon AFB in the early seventies and have since been back to visit. Brings back lots of memories. It's great to get the real stories from those folks who actually created rock and roll history. Buddy and Norman put this cowtown on the map. Your tour was really excellent. Thanks much.

[@Bliggick]

One of your best vlogs ever. Thanks Jordan!

[@devonmoors]

Fantastic listening!

[@gnagh]

Incredible Jordan!!! Wow! Getting to tour the studio where Buddy Holly & The Crickets recorded many of their greatest hits, AND getting to talk to a session musician, who performed on some those historic recordings!! A day you'll remember for the rest of your life! Especially loved the story of the hand clapping sound on the song "Everyday"!🎼 💿📻 👍😀

[@RaeAnn_1202]

This vlog is nothing less than amazing! How incredible that you were able to experience this and share with us! Thank you.

[@sarakeith5480]

An amazing interview!! Love hearing about the the stories of the past!! Also love seeing the vintage photos of the studio!! Thank you Jordan!!

[@debbiemoeller2169]

Absolutely amazing!!! Much love❤❤❤❤🦁

[@brayanvalenzuela4104]

Lived here for 15 years always pass by and never knew how important it was
