Description
Feb. 3rd, 1959, music stars Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and "The Big Bopper" J. P. Richardson died in a plane crash in Iowa. In 1971 Don Mclean wrote the song American Pie and in that song, he referred to that plane crash and called it The Day The Music Died. To this day, I expect everyone that was around during that time can sing the lyrics to the chorus of that song.
"Bye, bye Miss American Pie,
Drove my Chevy to the levee
but the levee was dry................."

Amazing and Unique Lyla :)
Thank you MU, what a nice comment. Appreciated.
there was a lot of music more enjoyable to listen to way back when. all of the names were outstanding singers.
really fine art and original
Thanks for the comment, Richard. Always appreciated. I like the music back than also. Shows my age I guess. lol
Well, I hope it never does. Because it's part of my soul! Very nice. Surreal!
Thanks for the comment.
the image itself is amazing! somehow chaos but still order, it's full, integral. i have no clue what you're referring to, i don't know those artists or their music and probably won't like it anyway - but this is a worthy tribute to them, and also a touching echo of the tragic event at the same time, the brokenness...
Look up the the artist Don Mclean and listen to the song, American Pie. Might change your mind. :-) Or just read the lyrics.
Thanks for the comment, I appreciate its thoughtfulness.
FANTASTIC! Great picture here and love all the details, instrumentation in a balanced chaos. A job well done my dear friend 👍🙋♂️
Thanks a lot for your comment. Appreciated, my friend.
I didn't notice your text when I commented. But I guess I should have known what you were referencing without seeing it! I wasn't into Don MaClean that much though. I liked the girl singers more.
No way you should have known....it was a long time ago. :-)
Amazing !
Thanks.
Yes it was a sad day and if they had survived then maybe we would still have music today instead of that noise on the radio the last 10 years...lol
Excellent work :)
Thank you Steff.
