Special meaning to me... 

[Black Pearl's Captain]

The Norman Petty studio where the famous Cricket sound came from is just a few miles away from the house.

What's the big secret with your special day?

[GiG]

Birthday.
Thanks! 

[Skinhead]

Would love to have heard what those guys would have come up with if they had lived,  And how they would have influenced the artist of today.  Dream On!

Yep, the crash was on the 3rd. Beech Bonanza is great airplane. Too bad they had a young inexperienced pilot.

I was three years old in 1956. 

At about 5 or 6 years old, I discovered my older brother's 45's of Buddy Holly, Little Richard, The Everly Brothers and others.

I still have a lot of those old 45's in a box somewhere. 

[Mr Whiskey]

Sorry I'm late Man. Happy Happy, hope it was epic!

I was 24 when the plane went down.

About 8 of us from DSM were supposed to go up to the dance and listen to their music that night.

The group started backing out like flies, so 3 of us said well, we no go.

Have wished ever since that we would have made the trek up there.

It is only like 120 miles up there from here.

Went to a lot of dances there.    Nice place.   

It still stands, don't know if it is still operational or not, we have not been up there since the crash.
