I was a 60's teen, but he was still big this soon after his death.

I was barely 10 years old on this date 48 years ago, and I had no awareness whatsovever of this event. By the time I started listening to "Cousin Brucie" and "Big Dan Ingram" a few years later, Buddy Holly was never mentioned. The first news I ever had of his tragic death was AMERICAN PIE.
