THE DAY THE MUSIC DIED - Near Clear Lake, Iowa. It was here, in the early morning hours of February 3rd, 1959, where rock legends Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and J.P. “The Big Bopper” Richardson (along with pilot Roger Peterson) perished in a tragic plane crash that shocked and saddened the nation and a generation. Known as “The Day the Music Died” - after its melancholy reference in singer Don McLean’s 1971 song of innocence lost, “American Pie” - this rock-n-roll tragedy is still remembered by fans to this day.

THE BUDDY HOLLY MEMORIAL NEAR THE CRASH SITE - Near Clear Lake, Iowa. A metal memorial to be-speckled rock star Charles Hardin Holley (1936-1959, aka Buddy Holly) - frontman for The Crickets and singer of “Peggy Sue” (1958) and “That’ll Be The Day” (1958) - who died in a plane crash near this spot on February 3, 1959. Performers Ritchie Valens and J.P. Richardson (aka “The Big Bopper”), with pilot Roger Peterson, also perished in this tragic plane crash event that would come to be called “The Day the Music Died” after its reference in Don McLean’s song “American Pie” (1971). The crash site is at the end of a short trail from this memorial.
