BILL GRIGGS: Today, Bill is recognized around the world as an expert on 1950's rock 'n' roll music and an authority on Buddy Holly and the Crickets. His name is found in many books and other publications for assisting with research information, etc. He has also published many booklets pertaining to the era. His tour-de-force is the five booklet set Buddy Holly Day-By-Day [see link] in which he can tell you where Buddy Holly was just about every day of Buddy’s career. In 2004, with the computer age upon us, Bill and Sharon began producing CD-ROM Flipbooks [see link] of Bill’s works so the print versions will slowly fade into the sunset. |
