One night in 1958 Patricia got to attend a concert in Liverpool featuring Buddy Holly and The Crickets. She and the other American kids who were there got to sit on the stage and afterwards spend time with the band, who handed out these publicity photos signed by all three members: drummer Jerry Allison (top), singer-songwriter Buddy Holly (center), and bassist Joe Mauldin (bottom).
