I had a chance to visit with Iowa Rock n’ Roll Hall of Famer Jim Juve about what happened on Febuary 3rd, 1959 outside of Clear Lake, IA.  The Day the Music Died is observed on the anniversary of the day that three of the best up-and-coming American rock and roll musicians were killed in a plane crash in 1959 . . . Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and “The Big Bopper” J. P. Richardson.  Jim was at the Winter Dance Party that night.  Take a listen to our conversation below.  -EK
