Well... All Right

Rod Crosby: guitar & vocal

Rod Crosby Here. This is one of my all-time favorite Buddy Holly songs. The way the acoustic guitar rings out at the higher fret position is a stand-out from all of Holly's songs, and even more so, the way it was played by Holly, an influence of the highest magnitude.

Probably the first famous early Rock 'n' Roller to use a capo on a guitar, as noted by John Lennon in an interview about how much Holly influenced the Beatles. John also mentioned it was now cool to be seen on stage wearing "spectacles". John is quoted as saying "I WAS Buddy Holly!"

This song also strongly reflected the strenth of a teenage romance, pushing on, against all odds, forever how long it could last. This song also has special meaning because again, it epitomized the intent, and the eventual end of my first true teen-love interest.
