I always wonder what may have been.

Me too. We do have some clues. The Big Bopper was working on an idea that would not take off until a few decades later, the music video. Ritchie Valens was progressing toward Surf (based on his instrumental work), and Buddy Holly was completely expanding his musical horizons. I think he recognized where popular music was going and was moving in that direction. The sky was the limit for Holly. One can only wonder how far he would have gone if he had not died in the plane crash.

Man, I already used my non-serious response allotment for this thread. But still, for those two sentences:

1. Yes it was, quite literally so.

2. At least as far as Moorhead, Minnesota.

Well, for starters we would have never been subjected to the music of Don Mclean.
