Where were you the day the music died?-Buddy Holly

Gonners over 60 years of age.

I remember what I was doing when I heard JFK was shot.

Not to put my musical question on the same level, but can you remember what you were doing when Buddy Holly was reported as having died?


I was looking at a Rek O Kut 12 inch recording lathe in the front window of Joe Franecki's appliance store at 13'th street in Milwaukee. I needed it so I could cut records of the weddings I recorded for $25 on a Saturday morning. {I was in High school and needed to feed my audio hobby.} I thought it was just another accident.

Tonight I'm listening to Don McLean-American Pie.-- Memories last.

Thanks for your posting, Ken

I am 59 now so I was young but have an older brother who played Buddy Holly all the time - especially Peggy Sue and Rave On and That'll Be The Day and True Love Ways. I loved Buddy Holly then and still do. Memories rush back with every hearing. It seemed like a less complicated time. Like Gammajo, one of the things I am appreciative of is the early music exposure that my 6 year older brother made possible.
