Buddy Holly recorded this song way back probably 1957...it was written by Paul Anka but Linda Ronstadt's version is my favorite. On my better days I can sing this song on the corner of Lyle Lovette and John Prine streets but today wasn't my better day. Or maybe I should say I can't get the hoarseness and broken spine sadness of Lovette unless it's immediately after a 2 hour wrestling match with a 300 pound trencher chain.
