The Day The Music Died

Today is "The Day the Music Died," marked by Don McLean in his classic song, "American Pie." On February 3, 1959, singers Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and J.P. "Big Bopper" Richardson died in a plane crash near Clear Lake, Iowa. Holly was 22, Valens 17; and Richardson 28. Two of my favorite movies to watch are "The Buddy Holly Story" and "La Bamba".
