I am guilty to have had the same biased opinion before meeting Buddy's Mom in Lubbock many years ago. She was fast to shut me down and explained that L.O. and herself were at the Studio watching Buddy and Norman work on words and melodies together. That was good enough for me, although I have come to realize over the decades and various waves of Holly fans that come and go that there could never be any proof enough to convince otherwise, and the blinders continue to stay on.
