The Day the Music died
This is for really FOG's who remember 
SnT
The Day the Music died
This is the anniversary of the day in 1959 when Buddy Holly died.
He was 22, and had been a rock and roll superstar for a couple of years when the airplane carrying him and two other rock musicians from Clear Lake, Iowa, to Moorhead, Minn., crashed in a cornfield. Ritchie Valens was 17, while the singer they called the Big Bopper was 28.

But February made me shiver
With every paper I’d deliver.
Bad news on the doorstep.
I couldn't take one more step.
I can't remember if I cried
When I read about his widowed bride.
But something touched me deep inside
The day the music died.

Cline & Croce
Cline & Croce - two more who came out at the bad end with their transportation.
Croce's was one of the very few albums I had in 1973.

An unlikely looking fella for a star. His music still echoes in my head sometimes.

Ricky Nelson suffered one of those aluminum bodied transportation malfunctions, too, just outside of Dallas in DeKalb.

Yeah while freebasing Coke, or so the news stories of the time said. 
Lynard Skynard's plane just flat ran out of gas.

Bobby Vee
Bobby Vee of Fargo ND filled in for Buddy and all. This was the start of his career. Still performs some, often with his kids.

Jim Croce brings back some memories of a time when people were less interested in pigeonholing popular music and just listened to what they liked.
