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 reunion will be in 3 years.) Then it was Buddy Holly, Richie Valens and J. P. Richardson - the "Big Bopper" - in 1959 followed by Patsy Cline in 1963. 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.
