47 years ago today...the music died
 

February 3, 1959, Buddy Holly, Big Bopper & Richie Valens died in that infamous plane crash.

And can be further explored about here.

That happened about 100 miles from where I live.

My dad and my uncle attended this show. My dad was a huge Buddy Holly fan and he always gets a little lump in his throat when he talkes about it.

I am going...
 

to Lubbock on the 17th-19th to visit family and we (Deb & myself) may stop at the museum in honor of Buddy Holly.

Kinda interesting that my much missed (And loved) Mother knew Buddy Holly from his appearances in/around Muskogee/Tulsa during the 50's...She used to joke that "Runaround Sue" was written about herself.
