"The Day the Music Died"

Today marks the 52nd anniversary of that fateful day of February 3, 1959 when Ritchie Valens, Buddy Holly, and The Big Bopper died in a plane crash in an Iowa field. They died at a time when rock n' roll was very young and were all pioneers in their own right. Their music continues to influence artists today and I for one am a big fan! Let's take a day to commemorate these legends...

Here are some of my favorite songs by them. This is Ritchie Valens' "Framed":

Big Bopper's "White Lightning":

and Buddy Holly's "Baby won't you come out tonight":

Hi world! As our first official post we would like to make it on what this blog will be about. We will be sharing some snap shots about our lives as well as our take on living a vintage/ rockabilly lifestyle. We will share our vintage finds, photography, some of our favorite music, classic cars, beauty reviews,  and everything in between!

As recent college graduates, we feel this blog will help us in our search to find ourselves and figure out what to do next in life. We are excited to embark on this journey and dedicate ourselves to what makes us happy and hope you all enjoy what we have to share.

When deciding on the name for our blog we was looking for a phrase, a song, or an excerpt from a book that could reflect what we are all about. So when looking through our top rated music we found this wonderful song called 'That's My Desire' by Frankie Laine. If you like love songs this is a nice one. It is about a guy describing a date with the woman he loves. (cute) So take a listen and stay tuned, there will be a lot more great stuff to come!                      

Below is an image of him (on the right) photographed by William P. Gottlib circa 1946.
