The Day The Music Died

This is the anniversary of Buddy Holly's plane crash in North Dakota (or was it Iowa?). That was the inspiration for Don McLean's "American Pie," among many other tributes. Holly was incredibly young when he died, and had already produced a treasure trove of great tunes for us to enjoy even today. If he were alive today, I bet he'd be a producer and/or studio owner. But, alas, he is not. Crank up your Buddy Holly tunes today, along with Richie Valens ("La Bomba" and "Donna"), and the Big Bopper ("Chantilly Lace"), and see what the fuss was about. Rock and Roll Heaven is certainly celebrating!
