Today is "the day the music died," the day in 1959 when Buddy Holly was killed in a plane crash in Clear Lake, Iowa, along with Ritchie Valens (who sang "La Bamba") and J.P. Richardson (known as "The Big Bopper"). Buddy Holly's career as a rock star only lasted a year and a half, but he recorded "Peggy Sue," "Everyday," "That'll Be the Day," "Oh, Boy!" and many more hits. Buddy Holly was 22 years old when he died.

It's the birthday of Gertrude Stein, born in Allegheny, Pennsylvania (1874). She dropped out of medical school and moved to Paris with her brother Leo. They started collecting art together, and a group of artists — including Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso — gathered every Saturday evening at the Steins' home to discuss art and ideas.

Gertrude Stein became friends with Picasso while he was experimenting with Cubism, attempting to depict objects from multiple angles at the same time. So Gertrude Stein decided to do the same thing with language, and she created a style of repeating words and phrases to highlight the sounds of words instead of their meaning. She said, "Nature is commonplace. Imitation is more interesting."

McC Holiday Spirit in a tall Barclay-Rex billiard.

Realized I hadn't touched the open tin since well before Christmas, so I brewed some strong black coffee and loaded up my only large aromatic pipe.

Earlier today I had a bowl of MM965 in a B-C. Now it's Five Brothers in a MM cob. This is the only tobacco that makes me notice the nicotine in it.

PD....Another bit of trivia about "The day the music died." There was another person that was originally going to be on the ill-fated plane. He gave up his seat to either the 'Bopper" or Richie Valens; don't remember which. His name....Waylon Jennings!!
