I should be doing a tribute Set today. On this day in 1959, a small charter plane crashed shortly after take off from an airfield near Mason City Iowa. Everyone on board was killed including Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and JP "Big Bopper" Richardson.
Buddy Holly was 22. Ritchie Valens was 17. JP Richardson was 28.
FoF Set 2 was a tribute Set to the three men who died on 3 February 1959. If you like, you can listen to that Set here.
Instead of another tribute Set, I chose some outstanding southern rock tunes. Let's rock y'all...southern style.
