On February 3, 1959, Buddy Knox and I were traveling on tour. We were both on Roulette Records by then.
After a late night we got up and went to breakfast. I ran to get the newspaper and was shocked to see the headline.
Buddy Holly, The Big Bopper (Jiles Perry Richardson also known as JP), and Ritchie Valens had been killed in a plane crash. The three men had been trying to make time on their own road tour.
Now Paul McCartney owns the Buddy Holly music catalogue and there's a musical about Buddy in Australia.
