Sorry to hear about that, Leo. He came in at Viva one night awhile back... I think he sat in with us a bit.
Vaya con Dios, Bob.

Godspeed Bob.

Whatever happened as you and Ritchie were growing up, it pushed him to become him.

Wonder how much of that La Bamba movie was the truth?

San Fernando Califas, vato!

When the plane went down in 1959, what I recall as a 12-year-old living in West Hollywood was that RITCHIE VALENS HAS DIED was the Big News. To a lesser extent, the Big Bopper's death was the news because "Chantilly Lace" was a big hit on KFWB, my favorite r&r station at the time. But strangely I have no childhood recollections of Buddy Holly... oh well.
