Carl Bunch
Drummer, and later minister -- via North Iowa Today. He drummed for Buddy Holly, just missing the flight of Feb. 3, 1959 that killed Holly, Richie Valens and the Big Bopper. He later played with Hank Williams, Jr. and Roy Orbison.
Carl was a friend of mine. I had lost touch with him when I moved out of California, sadly. I am VERY saddened to hear of his passing. He's singing with the angels now, though. God bless you, my friend, my brother!
