Story

We are desperately sad to learn today that our dear friend and Ambassador Sonny West has passed away. Sonny was a great supporter of TBHEF where his kind and gentle manner and fabulous songwriting skills inspired another generation of musicians.

The family have asked for donations to The Buddy Holly Educational Foundation in lieu of flowers.

Thank you very much.
