Like Don McClean sang it " The Night the Music Died....."
Buddy Holly, Richie Valenz & the Big Bopper were killed
in a cold and icey desolate Iowa Cornfield
when their charter plane crashed. . . . . old.gif shrug.gif

Rock On On Boys, we miss you still. . . . . :cheers:

:rocker: 02 February, 1959 a Night that will live on in Rock & Roll Infamy :rocker: :dancing: :roll:

Being in Buddy Holly's hometown I can tell you he may be dead but his memory is strong here in Lubbock. FBP put it well, Rock on Boys.

My best friend from high school bought himself a nice fender acoustic one time, and learned to play ONE song. The only song I ever heard him play complete, several hundred times. American pie.

You would not believe the shock on his face when I told him what the song was about. :roll:

RIP rock N roll
It's a race.. Will hell freeze over or will JC finish his truck first. Stay tuned..

Tim,
Buddy may be gone from here but he'll never be dead. I believe like with so many other musicians
Buddy's music will keep him alive forever in our heads & hearts. Buddy's 1 reason why early Engilsh
Rock groups took off in early to mid 60's. They played & grew up on early US Rock & Roll.
A real kick is the Texas guys were playing off what Bob Wills did to the standards, & why Austin is
a really important musical capital town right now to contemporary & traditional groups alike. :rocker: :dancing: :rocker:

JC,
I hear ya! . . . . . & Roger That!
It never ceases to amaze me how little "fans" really understand what they think they really know about music. :thumright:
Oh Well shrug.gif What do I know. . . . . :roll:

I've seen a lot of different postings, and have different writings, about whether the day is Feb. 2nd, or Feb. 3rd. Plane left after the show very late at night and crashed. I guess the discrepancy is about whether it crashed and everybody died before or after midnight.
