That'll be the Day

Coming to you on the Substack a little late than never, but the February 3 podcast was a reflection on the 65th anniversary of the fatal plane crash that took the lives of Buddy Holly, The Big Bopper, Ritchie Valens, and others.

I make a strong case that it was NOT the day “the music died.” To the contrary.

For a preview, my YouTube channel is off to a sputtering start, but we made a preview Short for the folks out there to dip their toes into this show, so to speak.
