In 1956 Buddy and the Two Tones were sitting in the Cactus Theatre and heard John Wayne on screen say,”That’ll Be The Day” and as they say the rest is history. 
 

The band, I believe was now Buddy and the Three Tones  but they needed a new name to avoid label problems playing their new song. Buddy thought that there were a few groups named after birds, so perhaps insects would provide a good name. It’s funny because they must have considered the name “Beetles” as they strolled over names like grasshoppers, moths, and wasps.before deciding on  “The Crickets”. I couldn’t help but notice the chord progression as I was looking at the sheet music and that peeked my curiosity to look at its history, Apparently they wrote the song in about 15 minutes.
