Huntington's the most happening town on Long Island by a wide margin, well outsaide of the Hamptons. Seeing Buddy Merriam and Bromberg back to back should be great.

Niki Sullivan, of Buddy Holly Group, Dies story.news.yahoo.com SUGAR CREEK, Mo. - Niki Sullivan, who played guitar as a member of Buddy Holly (news) and The Crickets, died in his sleep Tuesday at his home, family members said. He was 66. Sullivan played on 27 of 32 songs Holly recorded before his death and toured with the band during their climb to stardom in 1957, family members said. Most of the classic records by Buddy Holly and The Crickets were made at producer Norman Petty's studio in Clovis, N.M. Sullivan, who moved to the Kansas City area in the 1970s, told The (Independence, Mo.) Examiner in a 2002 interview that he still received about 30 fan letters a year from people wanting to know about his life as a Cricket. "Obviously people liked what they heard and began to buy it," Sullivan said in the interview. Tired of the rigorous tour schedule, Sullivan left the band before Holly died in a 1959 airplane crash that also killed The Big Bopper and Ritchie Valens (news). He did some solo work after leaving The Crickets, but those recordings are rare. Raised in Lubbock, Texas, and a Navy veteran, Sullivan recently had retired from Sony Electronics and was an avid golfer and a Kansas City Chiefs football fan.
