I think this is a picture of these two young musicians in Lubbock, TX. The house in the background would have been the Holley's house on 14th street.
I got the picture from a YouTube video in which the narrator spoke of Buddy and his friend Bob Montgomery. But something tells me this friend was Jack Neal. Jack was the first partner Buddy had on KDAV radio in 1953, long before Buddy teamed up with Bob Montgomery. Also, Jack was slightly bucktoothed, which leads me to think the fellow on Buddy's left was Jack.
Here is a picture of jack taken in 2010.
Here's another site with a video of Jack.
