) He probably would have had some higher notes, and been washed up by about 1964. And that kind of hurts me to type it.
I don't think so. He was too smart and was already starting to get onto record producing. He was also trying to tone down the rock sound a little bit by the end. He would have been an influencer, and could have helped staved off or at least weakened the British invasion. High energy, talented, smart, can turn on a dime if needed ... a great loss.

If you meant harm to me, no not at all. In my book, you’re a top-notch FReeper who consistently posts interesting articles that are a nice change of pace from the usual political rigamarole in which we choose to participate.

A big deal in Iowa. The Surf ballroom has been preserved, still hosting some great concerts.

Right.
The flight was supposed to be for Holly, and his sidemen Jennings and Allsup. Richardson had the flu, so Jennings gave up his seat, then Valens got Allsup’s seat.

If I read you correctly, the original passengers included Valens and Allsup. So why did Valens have to get Allsup’s seat?

Waylon Jennings and Tommy Allsup, Holly’s backups, were the intended passengers with Holly.
Big Bopper was ill, so got Waylon’s seat. Allsup lost a coin flip to Valens.
Allsup played lead guitar on some Holly hits and had a nice career.
