Another year has gone by and the sad "anniversary" of the loss of Buddy Holly has come round again, now an unbelievable 65 years since he died aged just 22, along with Richie Valens, just 17 and J.P. Richardson a.k.a. The Big Bopper, just 28, in that terrible plane crash in snow-covered Iowa in the early hours of 3rd February 1959. The man who gave us "Peggy Sue", "That'll Be The Day", "It Doesn't Matter Anymore" and the heart-wrenching "True Love Ways" (which he composed for his wife Maria Elena), among many others in his tragically short career, was a music genius and his records still sound as awesome as they first did all those decades ago. Please take a moment or two to remember him, and Richie and J.P., today. Thank you. Luv RM.
