Running Bear, Johnny Preston, about 1960, remember it on the radio in the kitchen, I think that was grade 5 in school. Mom left that radio on from dawn to dusk. The all american family, she wore an apron and baked pies and dad took the 57 plymouth with the wings and push button transmission to the law office where there were more books than carbon paper.

Ha.

FYI Johnny Preston was on the plane with Buddy Holly. He should have taken Greyhound.



John:

Actually it was the writer of the song - J.P. Richardson aka The Big Bopper - that died in the crash.

Preston apparently died recently:
