Feb 3rd. 1959. The winter dance party came to here to Davenport,Iowa. I think it was the second last show before they died. The guy next door got to see that show and said he was in real shock when he heard they passed away. what a shame. such talent.

I was sixteen and a junior in high school, and I had a column in the school paper. It had a black banner that week. I had SUCH a crush on Richie Valens.

The Day the Music Died refers to February 3, 1959, a date on which a small-plane crash near Clear Lake, Iowa, United States, killed three popular American rock and roll musicians: Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and J.P. "The Big Bopper" Richardson, as well as the pilot, Roger Peterson. The phrase was coined by Don McLean in his 1971 tribute song about the crash, "American Pie".
It was a very sad day, indeed.

I was 14 when this happened and I remember I cried my heart out because Ritchie Valens sang the song with my name. Donna

I was only 2 years old. But have been to Davenport Iowa and went there to see the place where the show was. Very sad.

I hate that song. Can never get it out of my head once some one mentions it or I hear it. I was in 6th grade, all I remember was another one bit the dust. But Buddy was and his songs are still some of my favorites of all time.
