Michael Barera:, how do you feel about this nomination going into a holding area for February 3, to commemorate "The day the music died", the plane crash that claimed the lives of Holly, Ritchie Vallens and The Big Bopper?

That sounds like a great idea to me,
Maile; go for it! And thanks for the review.

Note for promoter on February 3
Is it possible to make this a lead hook with Buddy Holly's glasses? Those glasses are one of the most iconic symbols in American rock and roll history.
