Back then anyone with an AM transistor radio could keep up with the top 40 songs and beyond, so the whole pop music scene was universally accessible and therefore so memorable. Different groups seemed to complement one another like one continuous "super-group". The DJ's were very good at putting their shows together. I can even get into Bobby Vinton's lonesome songs, not to mention surf music (I never went surfing but so what?). Were there any bad songs? Can't recall...
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
