Buddy Holly & Bob were
good friends from early school days in Lubbock. Bob replaced Jack Neal, who
Buddy had first teamed with, to become
the Buddy & Bob duo. During 1954-55, they cut several demos at Nesman Studios in
Wichita Falls, TX & at radio KDAV, where they performed weekly on Sunday Party.
They would team up with Larry Welborn to become simply "Buddy, Bob & Larry".

and session guitarist. Montgomery wrote songs like "Heartbeat", "Down the Line",
"Love's Made a Fool of You", and "Wishing". In 1959 Bob released a solo 45 on
Brunswick "Because I Love You" (produced by Petty).

publishing company "House Of Gold" published BMI Award winning songs: "Wind
