Mrrzy - The other guy you mentioned that gave up his seat on Buddy Holly's plane was Tommy Alsup. He owned a club here in Ft Worth called the "Heads Up" club { named because thats how he lost his seat on the plane - the coin fell heads up}. It was only recently that I realized that I had met { briefly } both of the men that didn't get on that plane.

Nashville could use a few more Waylons nowadays.
