American Pie

 This was the day the music died

    I was just a kid in 1959, but even then I knew the world had lost some pretty great talent.

    Buddy Holly. Ritchie Valens ,and The Big Bopper,  Perry Richardson Jr.,  all died in a plane crash near Clear Lake Iowa.

    If you listen to the early Beatles, you can pick up the Buddy Holly influence in some of their songs. 

    My Today in History e-mail reminded me of the accident.

    I was 11 when they died, but I remember Peggy Sue and That Will Be the Day from Buddy Holly and the Crickets, Chantilly Lace by the Big Bopper and LaBamba by Ritchie Valens.  Still great music.  

    And of course, The Day the Music Died, by Don McClean, paid tribute to the singers. 

    E-mail can bring all sorts of useful information.

    For instance, today I got an e mail that said they had hot pictures of my wife...naked!   No, I did not open it.  

    I was also notified I had 45 complaints about a recent e-mail.....and I did not open that either. 

    Same goes for the Endurance ones that promise to expand my manhood, if you know what I mean.  

    And of course the usual ones telling me a package can't be delivered, my computer has been compromised, a bill is late.

    Kinda of sad when your most investing e-mail involves 3 deaths.

    But I guess that is the world today....scams and scammers galore.

    Hell, they seem to be overrunning Washington DC, but that is another story.  A scary one at that.

Peace and Love
