Larry played upright bass with the “Buddy, Bob & Larry” trio (Buddy Holly, Larry Welborn & Bob Montgomery) in 1955 - they played fairs, clubs, skating rinks, and any place they could showcase their new rockabilly sound - opening for such acts as Bill Haley & The Comets, Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash, and even the great Elvis Presley. Recording wise, he appeared on the early undubbed recordings “Down The Line”, “Brown Eyed Handsome Man”, “Bo Diddley” & others.

Buddy was just a nice guy. He was just a nice kid, - he was a gentleman. He really was.

Here’s one of Buddy’s songs you may not have heard. This is one of Norman Petty’s overdubbed version that came from the apartment tapes Buddy had recorded by himself with just an acoustic.
