I can't say that you sound like Buddy Holly in the way that you would thing it is him, but you do make justice to his music without over-using the famous hiccup-style of singing, and you over-all do the man justice!
i heard this very song on an advertisement 2 days ago and wonder is this Robert J miller if it wasnt it darn sure should have been! You are the BEST at Buddy Holly songs i ve ever heard bar none! tky you for this wonderful video its the best !
I know robert you musta studied buddys moves the hand moves the head nods as well as the near perfect singing I gotta say it one more time your on it you are right on time! Dont change not one thing (pay the man!) tks again!
Thank u so much! It comes quite naturally for me and I actually think I've improved a lot since this performance was recorded. I agree, many people overdo the "hiccup" and exaggerate the sound of his voice so much that it sounds like a caricature.
I wanted to become a musician because of Buddy. I used to imitate him,and out of all the people i hear...you are one of the best...you don't over do the hiccup that he was known for. You have Buddy down perfect in my opinion.
My Dad used to sing Buddy Holly songs to me and my sister when we were kids. He's since passed and seeing your videos remind me of him. Thank you!!! :)
Hi ksbonneau, thanks so much. I haven't taken the Buddy Holly tribute on the road and have only done a few shows thus far. I'm working on some original projects at the moment but hope to get a band together to do the tribute again soon.
There is a guy here in Denison, Texas that works at a muffler shop. He looks just like Buddy Holly. He should learn to play and sing. He would be a shoe-in for a Buddy act.
Hey Rob,love the videos,awsome job! It's the best Buddy Holley I've ever seen.Too bad you couldn't have put a band together for your performance. Anyway It's still awesome! your friend Jim s
Thanks, Jim, I know how big a Buddy fan you are so your praise means a lot! If I take the Buddy Holly tribute any further I definitely plan to get a band together for it; since this gig was for cancer it just wasn't feasible (but at least I play guitar on all the tunes).
I have always felt a strong connection to Buddy's music so it means a lot to me to know I'm doing something right! Thanks for the very nice comments, baldyholly79.
As an ardent Buddy Holly fan I have been prompted to listen to your versions of Buddy's songs. I have just played all the versions that you have made (I think)and I am very impressed - they are great- well done. 5 stars and with your permission I have subscibed to your music. Two of my personal Buddy songs are Umm oh yeah (Dearest) & Valley of Tears.
This was awesome , Sir ! Great great job , please keep up the good work .

Nice version. Buddy sung this one in his soft "Baby voice" style but I would imagine that this would be difficult to reproduce on stage.
