It was the night the music almost died.......

Tragic. I recall that Paul Mcartney stated that his Buddy Holly records were his most prized possessions back then and he wanted to play like him.

Thanks for posting. A lot of talent comes out of Lubbock. I’ve been there and agree with Mac Davis that happiness is Lubbock, Texas in your rear view mirror. I guess there’s something about the desolation that encourages creativity.

When Buddy was getting on the plane, he told Waylon Jennings he hoped the bus would break down and Waylon said " Oh yeah? Well I hope your plane crashes."

Tis true.

The music still lives, and check out this guy, personally I think he's amazing:

Think "Buddy Holly unplugged".

Same part of the country, another Texas musician:

Stephen “Stevie” Ray Vaughan (October 3, 1954 – August 27, 1990)

Buddy was good friends with another genius of that era -—Eddie Cochran (died too young too)

[Keith in Iowa]

For the next week or so you might visit http://www.globegazette.com/ for the goings on in my home town to commemorate the day the music died.

I sure remember the news. I was 13 at the time. Ricky Nelson was another who died in a plane crash on tour. New year's Eve or so in '85.

Ah, Buddy, we miss you.
