Wow, I don’t know if I’ve ever seen an audience listening to a performance like that at any concert in my lifetime (The Seekers). A completely different vibe, carriage, and appearance to anything I can recall having seen. It’s as if everyone was my grandfather’s father.
That Patsy Cline comment got me thinking, and I checked, and sure enough…
On March 3, 1963, Cline performed a benefit at the Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Hall, Kansas City, Kansas, for the family of disc jockey "Cactus" Jack Call; he had died in an automobile crash a little over a month earlier. Also performing in the show were George Jones, George Riddle and The Jones Boys, Billy Walker, Dottie West, Wilma Lee and Stoney Cooper, George McCormick, the Clinch Mountain Boys as well as Cowboy Copas [on flight] and Hawkshaw Hawkins. [on flight]
Her final song was the last she had recorded the previous month, "I'll Sail My Ship Alone".
West asked Patsy to ride in the car with her and her husband, Bill, back to Nashville, an 8-hour drive, but Cline refused, saying: "Don't worry about me, Hoss. When it's my time to go, it's my time." On March 5, she called her mother from the motel and checked out at 12:30 p.m., going the short distance to the airport and boarding a Piper PA-24 Comanche plane
The plane took off at 6:07 p.m
The plane flew into severe weather and crashed at 6:29 pm
Buddy Holly:
The plane took off normally from runway 17 (today's runway 18) at 00:55 (12:55 am) CST on Tuesday, February 3.
Dwyer retraced Peterson's planned route by air, and around 9:35 am he spotted the wreckage less than six miles (10 km) northwest of the airport.
In January 2007, Jay Richardson requested that his father's body [Big Bopper] be exhumed and an autopsy be performed in response to an internet rumor about guns being fired aboard the aircraft and Richardson initially surviving the crash.
Jay then died in 2013 at age 54.
Running label traces through the people involved, both crashes had tied to Starday Records. Big Bopper seems to have had his holdings transferred to C3, which was founded by Moe “Horowitz” Howard of the Three Stooges. Patsy Cline was with Decca. Just wondering if maybe someone wasn’t playing ball with the right ownership in both these crashes…

As someone noted a few days ago, 13 and 17 are just common numbers so that clearly doesn’t prove anything. Odd, though. Business ownership and management indications and disputes would certainly add to the picture, though.
