 Holly was impressed by his guitar-playing talents and offered him the chance to join both of them, as well as Joe B. Mauldin, in a band.Sullivan readily accepted the offer, and thus the Crickets were born.While trying to record "Peggy Sue" after many unsatisfactory takes, Sullivan ended up kneeling next to Buddy while he played, and when cued flipped a switch on Holly's Stratocaster, allowing him to break into the now-famous guitar solo.
