Gary Byron talks to Don McLean about the 50th anniversary of American Pie!

The observance commemorates the fateful day in 1959 when four young lives were cut short. When Don McLean’s “American Pie” hit the airwaves in 1971, the world came to know the day as “The Day The Music Died’ from the line in the lyrics which was in part inspired by the tragic event which took the lives of the four. Another line in the song reflected on the music of Buddy Holly & The Crickets.

Don McLean’s American Pie is one of the 20th Century’s most iconic songs

Gary Talks to Israeli Commado Captain Kuno Cohen

CAPT. Elkana (Kuno) Cohen, author of OCT 7: The War Against Hamas Through the Eyes of an Israeli Commando Officer, is a reserve commando officer.

He was born in Jerusalem and raised in Yeruham as the eldest of seven siblings. His dad is an educator and his mom leads the nursing department at Ben Gurion University. His military journey began in the Shaldag Unit before moving to the Duvdevan Unit, completing his training there and continuing to officers' school. He eventually became a team commander, both in his unit and at the officers' training school.

He met his future wife, Shiran, while they were both serving in the same military unit. The couple settled in Ra'anana, where Elkana launched a business focused on training kids and teens and he started giving lectures

He is currently studying for a bachelor’s degree in Real Estate and Appraisals and serves as a commando officer in the reserves. During the Swords of Iron War, he was deployed with the 551st Brigade in Northern Gaza.
