Then Amber covers the plane crash that killed Buddy Holly, Jiles Perry Richardson a.k.a. The Big Bopper and Richard Steven Valenzuela a.k.a. Ritchie Valens. It was the coldest winter on record in the Midwest in February of 1959, when Buddy Holly toured with The Big Bopper and Ritchie Valens for the Winter Dance Party Tour. After multiple problems with their tour bus, a brutal schedule and freezing conditions, Buddy decided that he had enough and chartered a plane to take them from Clear Lake, Iowa to Fargo, North Dakota. This would be a decision that would change the course of music history.
Amber was drinking a Portugal Red Blend from Casa Santos Lima, and she really enjoyed it.
