Let's Remember The Day The Music Died!
Remembered, Every February 3rd.

This is a day of remembrance rather than a day to celebrate. On Feb. 3, 1959, we lost three amazing musicians and a pilot. These musicians were incredible artists, which is why it is called the day the music died. Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and J.P. Richardson were the three artists who died that day. What you can celebrate is the amazing music left behind on that awful day.
A Few The Day The Music Died Facts...
- The Three Artists were taking part in a Winter Dance Party.
- This party was held in January and February 1959 and involved a show at least once, maybe more per day.
- They had been traveling by bus, but due to mechanical problems, they attempted to fly to the next show.
- The pilot was not aware of the weather advisory that had been issued.
- The plane crashed just a few minutes after takeoff.
- The musicians were thrown from the plane and found in a cornfield.
- Buddy Holly's wife found out about the tragedy from a TV broadcast.
- Buddy Holly's wife was pregnant and miscarried soon after her husband's death.
