If you’ve ever wished you could hear Buddy Holly play songs across the kitchen table from you… in the winter of 1958-59, he made a 29-minute home recording where he sings 15 songs – some “new” originals and also covers he admired. You can hear Maria doing the dishes in the background (link in comments). Thank goodness for the Ampex tape recorder that captured these soundwaves
