Hi Victor , ever since the 1950's there was three musicians that died in 1959 in a plane crash on their way to perform the Winter Tour concerts. The song "American Pie" was dedicated to those men. I am specking of Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and the Big Bopper. Buddy Holly whose songs were "That will be the Day"," Peggy Sue", and Oh Boy among many, many others. Ritchie Valens also a young musician, his songs are "La Bamba"," Oh Donna" and "Come on Let's Go" and others. And Big Bopper was a DJ from Texas, who's hit was" Chantilly Lace". Perhaps you heard of them( I am sure). There were two movies about these guys, "The Buddy Holly Story" also a musical play. and La Bamba, the story about Ritchie. Keep in mind that people listen to the words of American Pie and but there are specific references to all three. But February made me shiver
With every paper I'd deliver
Bad news on the doorstep
I couldn't take one more stepI can't remember if I cried
When I read about his widowed bride
Something touched me deep inside
The day the music died
......Do you believe in rock and roll?
Can music save your mortal soul?........The day the music died.......And the three men I admire most....... Comment: Although many verses are about other things this is what Don Mclean was singing about Buddy, Ritchie and the Big Bopper. their music lives on
