It has been 65 years since “the day the music died.” Here is a small piece of the big story that begins with the tragic plane crash that killed #RitchieValens #TheBigBopper (J.P. Richardson) and #BuddyHolly
“I can’t remember if I cried
When I read about his widowed bride
But something touched me deep inside
The day the music died”
Helloooooo Baby!
(Or ”The Day the Music Died", as Don McLean sang in American Pie).
