# Buddy Holly's first recordings at the Nesman Studios Wichita Falls TX.
In late 1954 and April 1955 Buddy, Bob, Don Guess and Sonny Curtis first recorded some country style songs: "I Gambled My Heart", "Flower Of My Heart", "Soft Place In My Heart", "Door To My Heart", and "Gotta Get You Near Me Blues"at the Nesman Studios
Mid 1955, Buddy, Bob, Jerry Allison, and Larry recorded “Baby let’s play house” and “Down the line” {believed to be the first recording at Norman Petty, but they could not yet have met}.
The same year Sonny, Buddy, Larry and Jerry recorded two songs sung by Sonny: “I’ll miss my heart” and “Because you love me” and probably a second verssion of. “Down the line” and “You and I are through”
As Eddie Crandall requested 4 demos to be sent, Buddy, Sonny, Don and Jerry quickly got back into the studio. On Dec.7th they recorded "Baby Won't You Come Out Tonight", "Don't Come Back Knockin", "I Guess I Was Just A Fool", and "Love Me". These were submitted on acetate at KDAV and sent to Decca. The material impressed the executives enough to ask them to record in Nashville.
