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 20^th Century’s most iconic songs

Michael Gaudio is part of a group of parents who want to see their children get a proper, and safe graduation. He joined Gary on the air to talk about how they would go about doing it correctly and safely.
