I can't remember if I cried when I read about his widowed bride
But something touched me deep inside the day the music died

If you’re ever in the vicinity of Mason City Iowa stop by their airport. What you’ll find is a map showing the crash location of the aircraft carrying Buddy Holly, the Big Bopper and Richie Valens. Stop by if you have the time and pay your final respects. In 1988, Buddy fan Ken Paquette built a monument to the singers, from stainless steel, and place it at the crash site where the current owners of the land also planted four trees in memory of the victims (3 performers and the pilot).

If you go searching for other on-line sites be careful. Some of them contain some gruesome graphic photos.
If you believe in forever
Then life is just a one-night stand
If there's a rock n' roll heaven
Well you know they've got a hell of a band
(Rock and Roll Heaven by the Righteous Brothers)
