    Hi T.B.,
    Did you know Waylon Jennings, who was in the band, was supposed to board that plane, but at the last minute switched to the tour bus? It took him a long time to get over that, and several years later recorded a track called Buddy Holly Medley. I will be playing it and a whole lot more interesting songs and interview clips on my Treasure Island Oldies Show this Sunday, Feb. 5th from 6 to 10 Pacific. The last hour will be devoted entirely to The Day The Music Died. Hope you can listen and maybe join the chat room too at www.TreasureIslandOldies.com
