the day the music died

I was just a little girl when the plane crashed that had Buddy Holly and Ritchie Valens on it. It was a big deal in my house because I had older sisters that listened to and danced around the house to their music. And the Big Bopper was pretty popular also. They did make some great music. My husband and I went to the musical "Buddy" many years ago and it was fantastic!

I wasn't alive either but I remember it. I love richie valens and wished he could have went further in his dream! I have his movie la bamba and it makes me sad everytime I watch it

Yes, I do remember. I was about nine years old and I was a little Buddy Holly freak. I used to come home from school and sneak up to my parent's bedroom and turn on their little TV real low to listen to American Bandstand. I wasn't allowed to watch TV after school so I couldn't just go in and use the one in the living room. I always got caught when a Buddy Holly song came on and I turned up the volume. I read about the crash in my dad's newspaper that night and I couldn't even eat dinner. To This day, Buddy Holly is one of my all time favorite rockers. My tastes have changed for just about everything else but not for his incredible music.

I don't remember this...I was a toddler.. but it certainly had an effect on the music world. I often wonder how big he could have gotten! What other songs would I be humming.. Have a great day Doll xoxoxoxoxo
