Link what Link???
It might have helped Bru had you typed or pasted in a link or at least
previewed your proposed posting to check that the link worked. you might
then have spotted that the only link was to your own site. I think that
you might have intended to include:-
http://news.bbc.co.uk/onthisday/hi/d...00/2802541.stm

Buddy and his Crickets in action
(a still from the fantastic Ed Sullivan Show rendition of "Oh Boy")
I well remember that extra sad day in in my life.The more so because I
had not been able to attend a Holly concert in 1958 in Salisbury only
35 miles from where I was confined to my boarding schol and I fully
intended going there in 1959 if Buddy's planned 1959 return to the UK
had been possible. I consoled my loss only 8 years later when I first
saw Gord in concert in 1967 in Montreal.

Nevertheless Bru thanks for the reminder

OK OK all the more reason then for using the great preview button before committing your masterpiece to the ether. You can straightaway verify that all is in order
Best wishes
John
I also find that typos stick out more in the preview window for some reason

I remember when I was little,I'd play my Mom's (Dad's?) copy of "Oh,Boy!" I thought it was one of the coolest song I'd heard at that time.

(Kinda makes you wonder how I could also have been an Osmonds fan too! :D LOL!
