Jeff Hanna (singer-guitarist, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band) : Buddy Holly's music was the first music that really inspired me as a kid. Buddy Holly had the whole thing going on. [He] wrote the songs, played guitar, sang great, [and] looked really cool. I loved his music right off the bat. I was probably 8 or 9 years old the first time I heard him. His voice just jumped out of the radio at me as a kid."
