California artist releases limited edition Buddy Holly artwork
Buddy Holly pioneered the sound that would become the greatest music phenomenon of the 20th Century: rock and roll. Hits such as “Peggy Sue” and “That’ll Be the Day” made Buddy an international sensation, and his songs remain perennial classics today. Buddy’s importance to the birth of rock and roll is commemorated by Don McLean’s song “American Pie,” which fittingly calls the day of Buddy’s death “the day the music died.”
Decades later, Buddy continues to inspire other artists to pay him tribute. Allan
Berman, a lifelong fan, has kept Buddy’s memory alive in unique ways. In addition to impersonating his favorite rock’n’roller, the Lake Wildwood, California resident has created a painting called “True Love Ways.” The painting, whose title was inspired by a love song Buddy wrote for his wife, Maria Elena, depicts several items identified with Buddy: a Fender guitar, red roses, a vinyl record and Buddy’s signature black-framed glasses. One hundred canvas hand-embellished prints of “True Love Ways” are available for purchase in Palm Springs, California and at the Buddy Holly Museum in Lubbock, Texas. The prints, signed by both Berman and Maria Elena Holly, come with a CD of 10 of Berman’s covers of Buddy Holly songs, a certificate of authenticity, a photo of Maria Elena signing the print and copies of her letters to Berman. For more information on “True Love Ways,” visit Berman’s Web site at www.bermanstudios.com.
