Fans Memorialize "the Day the Music Died" in Clear Lake, Iowa

Pat Dinuzio of the Smithereens performs at a tribute concert memorializing Buddy Holly, J.P. "The Big Booper" Richardson and Ritchie Valens at the Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake, Iowa on February 2, 2009. The three rock 'n' roll pioneers played their last show at the Surf Ballroom 50 years ago to the day. Singer Don McLean coined the phrase "the day the music died" in his hit song American Pie referring to the death of the plane crash that killed the three stars in the early morning hours of February 3, 1959.
