Description

Buddy Holly "Buddy and Bob" Business Card. In the fall of 1949, Holly met Bob Montgomery at Hutchinson Jr. High School, with whom he shared a common interest in music, and the two teamed up to perform as "Buddy and Bob." Initially influenced by bluegrass music, they sang harmony duets at local clubs and high school talent shows, and eventually earned a spot as an opening act for Elvis Presley when he played the area early in his own career. This business card from that brief era of Holly's career lists his and Montgomery's name across the top, as well as Larry Welborn -- who briefly played bass for the duo -- plus that of their business manager, Lubbock-based DJ "Hi Pockets" Duncan. In Excellent condition with very faint traces of yellowing around the edges. Note This lot is not part of the Maria Elena Holly Collection.
