Yes, that song is one of my favourites of his, if not THE fave for me, as simple as it is. I bought it as a single while in art college in 1964 when it was titled 'Umm Yeah" and I wore it out. It had overdubs by Jimmy Gilmer's Fireballs, but nothing beats the acoustic version heard in 'Juno'. Beautiful; as are a lot of those he recorded in his NY apt just before he passed on.

This started me looking back at my Buddy Holly stuff... I know the track, but dementia seems to get in the way...
Where was I?
Oh yes; I found a 45 that I had bought back in 1963, What To Do, and the flip side is Umm Oh Yeah. Coral Q 72469... now I have to get the 'old record deck' and an amp and speakers set up because I cant sleep until I have listened to it again..... Thanks for triggering the memory, Buddy Holly started the whole musical journey for me.
