Anyone besides me remember Feb 3/59 - the Day the Music Died, as popularized in McLean's song of the same title?? Buddy Holly, Richie Valens and the Big Bopper all perished in a small plane that crashed at night in wintery conditions just outside Clear Lake, Minn.

I remember it vaguely, We didn't hear about it until the next day 'cos of timezones. I was only 13.

I have always wondered.... would there have been a songwriting team of Holly McCartney or Lennon Holly ? or even all three

I was only 7, but I clearly remember seeing pictures of the crash site on the TV news. I didn't realize who they were at the time because my old man refused to allow 'black' music, as he called it, in the house. A sad day.

Boy you must be old.   (Actually, I'm only a few years younger than you)

I remember reading about it some years later.  My brother and sister used to play that kind of music.
