Buddy Holly remembered...
It's getting close to the anniversary date of "the day the music died" here in Duluth. Those of you who read this blog know that I was there at the Duluth Armory on January 31, 1959 for the Winter Dance Party Tour" with Buddy Holly and a crew of other promising musicians. Bob Dylan was there too. Local youth DJ (now local radio personality/executive) Lew Latto sponsored this memorable event. The Winter Dance Party Tour never reached completion when the plane carrying the performers, including Holly, crashed not long after leaving Duluth. The day of the plane crash has been memorialized in song as "the day the music died."
