　　The plane went down after the singers had performed at the Surf Ballroom in the small town of Clear Lake, Iowa.

　　This year, some of those who performed with them that night gathered at the Surf to remember. The gathering, held over several days, was called "Fifty Winters Later." It included educational programs, dance lessons, speeches and theatrical performances. It also included a ceremony to declare the Surf Ballroom a rock and roll landmark. The events were organized by the Surf Ballroom and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

　　Guests included Buddy Holly's wife, Ritchie Valens' brothers and sisters and the Big Bopper's son.

　　VOICE ONE:

　　The day of the plane crash -- February third -- is known in rock and roll history as "the day the music died." We end with a song inspired by that sad day. Here is Don McLean with his number one hit from nineteen seventy-two, "American Pie."
