A big thank you to my good friend Rosalyn who made this piano version of "American Pie" listen to the full version here:    • American Pie Piano Version by Rosalyn...  

In 1971, there was a little known song that was recorded and released, that song was titled “American pie”. In the lyrics of the song, the writer makes reference to a February day that then became known as “The Day The Music Died”. This is in reference to a 1959 plane crash that killed not only the pilot of that plane but also three iconic musicians and performers of that era. But how did this tragedy actually happen. Delving into this incident we’ll uncover the story of a pilot who was way out of their depth when faced with a horrifying situation. That’s what we’ll explore today as we delve into what really happened The Day the Music Died.
