1955: Bill Haley and the Comets give a concert in Lubbock, Texas. A local group is hired to open for Haley. Buddy Holly (and the sidemen later known as the Crickets) make such a good impression as the opening act that Nashville talent scout Eddie Campbell, who is in the audience, arranges for them to get studio time to make their first demo.
