But february made me shiver
With every paper Id deliver.
Bad news on the doorstep;
I couldnt take one more step.
I cant remember if I cried
When I read about his widowed bride,
But something touched me deep inside
The day the music died.
Don McLean

And in the streets
The children screamed
The lovers cried and the poets dreamed
But not a word was spoken
The church bells all were broken
And the three men I admire most
The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost
They caught the last train for the coast
The day the music died

Oh yes!
And........ McLean's "Vincent" is wonderful too!
****
weathered faces lined in pain
are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand.
And now I understand what you tried to say to me
how you suffered for your sanity
how you tried to set them free
perhaps they'll listen now
For they could not love you
but still your love was true
and when no hope was left in sight on that starry starry night
You took your life as lovers often do
But I could have told you Vincent
................ this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you.
****
Hearing that every day.............

It happened about 30 miles from where I lived but I didn't hear about it until the next day. Seems like it was a Saturday morning and I heard it on the radio while cleaning the basement.

In my younger and more callused days I had regular travels down to Clear Lake, IA. I met the farmer who owned the field they crashed in and he said he had a box of parts in one of his sheds from stuff he'd plow up every once in a while. I considered a plan to buy that box from him and market the pieces through the Rolling Stone, but circumstances changed and I quit traveling there. Glad I didn't do it though, I've racked up enough regrets in life without adding that particular folly.

My daughter and her husband danced their wedding dance to "True Love Ways." We teens on the Plains loved Buddy and the Crickets.

My Mom went went to Lubbock High when Buddy was there. (I think she was a year older than him.) Those would have been cool times to hang out at the Hi-D-Ho.

Thanks for the Buddy Holly pix tips.
Those Bender Sisters (with the Big Bopper) haven't aged a day in 40 years.
To: Ranald S. MacKenzie
I heard that Waylon Jennings (one of Budd Holly's Crickets) gave up his seat to the Big Bopper, because the Big Bopper was ill.
