Comment from Bill Schott
This 5-7-5, Today in 1959, has the right set up and reminds us how music shifted from rockabilly to the British invasion soon after the musical force of Buddy Holly was taken away.

Good homage poem that shares the loss of these three musicians, I like how you connect the names to the photographs. It is very short but informative, enjoyed reading it.

You did a great job, Mystery Author, with your contest entry. Your syllable count is correct per line. Your few syllables, as required, speak volumes about rock & roll & its history. The picture is perfect. Thank you for the notes, too. Best wishes. Jan

Thanx so much for the review, Jan -- just had to give a shout out to these talented singers that certainly left us way too early! ;) ;)
Comment from C. Gale Burnett
Superb in all aspects. Over-all presentation ... perfect. 5-7-5 ... perfect. Your author notes giving historical data as to the day the 'music died' was an added bonus.
Great job and great contest entry!!

Your message is meaningful. Thank you for providing the story in your author notes and your artwork choice enhances your message. It is a very sad remembrance. But we are left with the memory of their music. Best wishes!

I so agree with your words, especially Buddy Holly as he had such an amazing talent and died so young and in his prime. Just imagine all the music we missed because of is death, good luck with the contest, love Dolly x

Comment from Miss Sherry
I remember this day well. Such a tragic thing to have happened. Young men at the height of their careers lost to the world. I also remember the day Rickie Nelson died in his plane crash. No one expected anything like this to happen. They will live in the hearts of rock and roll fans forever. Very nice tribute and well done.

Comment from rspoet
This is an excellent 5-7-5 poem and entry for the contest
A sad day, indeed, music lost some its greats.
Some by a mere flip of the coin.
Many on fanstory will remember the day.
Well done
Good luck in the contest

Comment from Debbie Pope
What a great entry for the contest. I did not realize the depth of the tragedy at the time. I was 5. I have now grown to love their music and appreciate their contribution to rock and roll. It was such a loss.
Good luck in the contest. You should do well.

Comment from Libby Geisinger
A lovely tribute to three talented musicians we lost too early. I think the 5-7-5 format is perfect, one line for each singer, along with a briefness that leaves you time to reflect. Great job and thanks for sharing!
