The day the music died

[daymond]

A group of us went to the south coast and saw the news on a newsagent's board. He was of our generation.

Great to see that you are still around Grumpy. That's how I'll always remember you. :ears:

I prefer Jimmy Buffett's slight modification! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_White_Sport_Coat_and_a_Pink_Crustacean

And Jim Reeves was another victim of Plane Crash.

Buffett himself might end up a victim too - he flies his own plane (and Sails!) and was actually shot at by Jamaican Police, thinking he was smuggling. Another Air crash victim was Buffett's 'friend and mentor' Jim Croce.

Maybe flying can be dangerous for singers named Jim!
