Do I remember?
I had just graduated from high school and was on a date with my future wife. We were in the car (won't tell you where) on a double when the news broke over the radio.
The girls broke down and the night was eerily quiet.
Valens' "Donna had teens swooning, Holly was a hot as a rockabilly and the Booper had all the guys telling their girls "Oh baby, you know what I like.
Yep! We'll always remember "The Day The Music Died"!
But for us true rednecks, it didn't all die. A little known fact is that Waylon Jennings and Tommy Allsup were two unknown backup musicans from Texas performing with Holly who chartered the flight for the three of them. Jennings felt his tall frame was going to be cramped so he gave his seat to J.P. Richardson and Valens "won" a coin flip with Allsup for the third seat.

I was a little kid running around the streets in Brooklyn but was a big fan of Rock-N-Roll. I remember hearing some older kids talking about the plane crash.
I was 12. That was the year I got my first Whizzer. It was a basket case, but I did get it together and terrorized the 'hood with it. Later that year I made a tri-power manifold from copper pipe and fittings and two spare carbs. Yeah, she ran a bit rich, LOL.
My sister was 17, and was the one who got me in to Rock 'n Roll, which I still listen to today, 'cept they call 'em oldies now...
"Beer is Proof that God loves us and wants us to have a good time."
These are all the songs my granny told me about!!!
I was three years old and living on my grandparents farm in Hartford, Alabama. My grandpa was a small farmer and the kindest gentleman I have ever known. I remember picking tangerines, kumquats, scuppernons and persimmons from his trees and vines. Lord help you if you bit into a not yet quite ripe persimmon!

I was trying to get into all the trouble I could. I could easily hide with 6 brothers and sisters.
I do remember hiding from my parents in a huge snow fort the neighbor kids all built.
Yes, I was a northern Michigan Yankee. I smartened up in 1982 when I moved to Alabama.

I was 7 yrs. old and was trying to learn to ride the bike my dad had put together from junk yard scraps. I sure wished he had made it a three wheeler, I thought my knees and elbows would be raw forever! :eek:
