"That'll be the day" (1942)

That'll Be the Day
Buddy Holly & The Crickets

Well, that'll be the day, when you say goodbye
Yes, that'll be the day, when you make me cry
You say you're gonna leave, you know it's a lie
'Cause that'll be the day when I die


   The Chicago Historical Society has my "Windy City" stuff for over two
weeks now and still no reply.  Only a few more days or weeks or years or decades,
I'm thinking, until I get the tiniest among of respect.
   That'll be the day.
   The famous Buddy Holly song is from 1957.  It's said that Holly took the
line from the John Ford-directed John Wayne film THE SEARCHERS (1956).  We'll
search a little further.
