Walker, Add to your list: Jim Croce, Ricky Nelson, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Bill Chase, Clifford Brown, Bessie Smith...some by plane crashes, others by automobile.-------------- Original message ---------------------- From: Walker Smith <doubs43@xxxxxxx>As one who clearly remembers the day Hank Williams died on 1 January,1953, 50 years doesn't seem that long ago. (My 50th high school reunionwill be in 3 years.) Then it was Buddy Holly, Richie Valens and J. P. Richardson - the "Big Bopper" - in 1959 followed by Patsy Cline in1963. All were magnificent talents who should have stayed around longer.FWIW, I saw Patsy Cline many times as she shopped in Frederick, MD before she divorced her husband (Charlie Cline) and later moved to Nashville. She sang in local establishments in the MD - VA - DC areas before her rise to stardom. Today's "music" leaves me completely cold. Walker Smith Marc James Small wrote:Fifty years ago was "the day the music died". A small plane crashedin the US midwest, and Buddy Holly, Richie Valens, the Big Bopper, andthe pilot, Roger Peterson, were killed. The event was later memorialized by Don McLean in his "American Pie". It is rather sobering to think of this as having occurred a HALF CENTURY ago.
