That'll be the day when I die
Today marks the anniversary of the death of Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and The Big Bopper who sadly all died on this day in 1959.
BBC ON THIS DAY | 3 | 1959: Buddy Holly killed in air crash RIP guys

Re: That'll be the day when I die
Memorys knackered, but remember that n skricking when it happened.
 Can remember reading that Buddy wasn't booked on that plane,but had recently wed n wanted to get home to his missus, so Dion gave up his seat fer him.

Re: That'll be the day when I die
I just learned that Waylon Jennings gave his seat up to Richardson and when Buddy heard Jennings wasn't flying, he said, "Well, I hope your old bus freezes up." Jennings responded with, "Well, I hope your plane crashes."

Re: That'll be the day when I die
I remember hearing about it outside Preston railway station on getting back from an England v South Africa hockey match at Wembley with a group from the High School. We were all upset. Its wonderful that Holly's music still lives on 50 odd years later. Don't think todays rubbish will last that long.

Re: That'll be the day when I die
I couldn't sing, couldn't play the guitar but I could wear Buddy Holly glasses-and play his records until you could hardly hear the words for the scratches.
I always wondered how he'd have developed led if he'd lived. |

Re: That'll be the day when I die
I love that song. Bought the record on Saturday March 11th 1972. I was going into hospital on the Monday so played it over and over that weekend to take my mind off it. The video is cleverly put together. I loved it. Thanks.

Re: That'll be the day when I die
Glad you enjoyed it R, for me the pics are great I've not seen some of them before (surf ballroom etc).
This was (allegedly) the last song they played at the ballroom before the tragic accident,it also happens to be one of my personal faves too.
