  1. I can't pick a favorite Buddy Holly song, they are all so great. And you know I remember The Day The Music Died since I send you an email - every year. I also watch the movie every year. Sad, sad day.

    1. It was a sad day - for his fans and for rock 'n roll music. I should post more of it.
