Didn't see it posted yesterday, but it was 60 years ago Sunday that Buddy Holly, Richie Valens and the Big Bopper died in an airplane crash near Clear Lake, Iowa.
Our local paper had a pretty good story about how survivors and new members of the Winter Dance Party went on to immediately play in venues such as Peoria, Illinois. Band members included Bobby Vee, Fabion, Jimmy Clanton, Frankie Avalon and, of course, Waylon Jennings.
