the song American Pie was not only a tribut to Buddy Holy but to two other singers (Richie Valens and The Big Bopper ) "The Day The Music Died". also the name of the song is the same as the name of the plane that they were in that crashed and killed them.

Dwyer Flying Service got the charter. $36 per person for a single engine Beechcraft Bonanza.
No, the plane wasn't named American Pie. It only had serial numbers, N3794N.

I guess this makes me an old guy too. That means I get to be all crotchetty and stuff and I get to say "back in my day..." and "kids these days just don't know what work is..." and "they don't make things like they used to..." Right?
:P
