The

day the music died.

"...bye-bye, Miss American Pie Drove my Chevy to the levee, but the levee was dry

And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey in Rye

Singin' "This'll be the day that I die

This'll be the day that I die..."

Dad was a huge Buddy Holly fan.

Huge.

Biggest I ever met.

The dead used to cover "Not fade away" a lot.
