In the late 1930’s, jazz great Duke Ellington invited aspiring songwriter Billy Strayhorn to “TAKE A TRAIN” to visit him in Harlem — the phrase became the title of one of the best known jazz pieces ever.

The Rolling Stones’ sax player Bobby Keys, Outlaw Country legend Waylon Jennings, and Rock & Roll originator Buddy Holly all lived in the same neighborhood in Lubbock, Texas & were friends before each was famous. Jennings & Keys both played with Holly’s backing band The Crickets (though Keys did after Holly’s death).
