Thought I'd start this thread, it's been 55 years now. It's really fascinating, I like aviation forensics, I learned a few things I didn't know. It looks to me (from the photos) like the pilot tried to land the plane going very very very fast, probably with snow on his wings (more weight) .... I didn't know the Big Bopper had been tossed out of the plane. Also very interesting that Buddy Holly "packed" but after all, he WAS from Texas 
Maybe folks can add their favorite song from those three musicians? I like many of them.

I was watching The Buddy Holly Story last night (I got that with La Bamba in a two DVD package) and was struck by how good the drumming was. The drummer with the Crickets, you never hear HIS name, but he was really a good deal of their sound. I'll have to look him up. I thought the dude who played him in the movie was a very good performer.... enjoyable movie to run over on a cold winter night.

Watched La Bamba tonight, I think they were lip synching, but the young man playing Richie was quite cute. I think he did Wind Talkers too, would have to check the credits. (could be wrong). I did spot a flaw in The Buddy Holly Story tho. On the marquee it says "Feb 3" and that is a mistake. They played that venue Feb 2, and crashed in the very early morning hours of Feb 3.
La Bamba is a lot of fun if you grew up in Los Angeles as I did. Made me a bit homesick. I remember La Bamba getting played on the radio a lot when I was small.
Sound track to La Bamba was done by Los Lobos and Carlos Santana..... all original music, not the original stuff. Quite a feat to reproduce the sound actually.
