Sixty years ago on February third, on a snowy night, three of America's rock and roll icons, one still a teenager, boarded a tiny airplane in little Clear Lake, Iowa, on their way to the next stop in the Winter Dance Party concert tour. The plane took off toward an oncoming storm and crashed in a cornfield just five miles into the flight. Killed that early, early morning were promising stars 22-year-old Buddy Holly, 28-year-old J.P. "The Big Bopper" Richardson, and 17-year-old Ritchie Valens, as well as their 21-yearold pilot, Roger Peterson.

This special issue of REAL Magazine pays tribute to the rock and roll pioneers who, despite their early deaths, changed the face of music forever. When we decided to dedicate this issue to what became known as "The Day the Music Died," we reached out to John Rollins, "History of Rock and Roll" teacher at Mountain View High School in Meridian, Idaho, for help and received four informative and insightful articles from junior Alyssa Schoenfeld, whom we introduce on page four. We hope you will take some time to hum along with us!

At 22, Buddy Holly was well on his way to becoming a rock and roll legend.

J.P. "The Big Bopper" Richardson was somewhat of a reluctant performer.

Ritchie Valens was just seventeen years old when he boarded the ill-fated plane that would take his life.

The Day the Music Died Don McLean's iconic hit song references the loss of innocence that began when Holly, Richardson, and Valens lost their lives.

Not Fade Away

The History of Buddy Holly

What might have been had a plane crash not taken this rock and roll pioneer?

Alyssa Schoenfeld Mountain View High School

C

harles Hardin Holley, better known as Buddy Holly, became one of the most influential musicians in the 1950s, famous for his black spectacles and distinctive vocals. The recordings Holly made with his band, the “Crickets” in Lubbock, Texas, on primitive equipment, remain as potent today as the day they were recorded.

Born September 7, 1936, into a musical family, Holly learned to play guitar, piano, and violin as a young child. In 1949, he formed a duo with friend Bob Montgomery, and the two, influenced by bluegrass music, started performing at local clubs and talent shows.

Holly’s big break came in 1955 when “Buddy and Bob” opened for Bill Haley and the Comets at a local rock show. Holly was offered a contract with Decca Records if he would work alone. Fame, however, eluded him until he contacted record producer Norman Petty in

New Mexico, and recorded a demo of That’ll Be the Day. In September of 1957, the song, the first credited to Holly’s band, “The Crickets,” topped both the US and UK singles charts.

While Holly could produce classic boy-loves-girl tunes like many other greats, his other songs contained profound lyrics and complex melodies and harmonies that had not been previously seen within the genre. With his music considered sophisticated for the day, Holly was a compelling rhythm and lead guitarist, as evidenced on songs such as Not Fade Away.

Through his music, he was able to close the gap on racial divide prominent in rock, even winning over an all-black audience at the New York Apollo Theatre.

One of the reasons Holly still lives on is the influence he had on iconic rock figures such as Paul McCartney and John Lennon who were in the audience at a concert in the U.K.

Both later affirmed Holly was a primary influence on their music.

Holly’s reach stretched to other leading artists, as well, including the Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, and Bruce Springsteen, to name just a few.

One of the best recreations of Buddy Holly’s life is the movie The Buddy Holly Story. While the film may not be completely historically accurate, it features passionate covers of Holly’s songs, paying tribute to Holly, his influence on rock and roll, and a promising life cut short.

While some comedic elements are present throughout this movie, the most poignant moment, the plane crash, stands out. As a whole, the movie is an inspiring story of a young man’s determination and pioneering talent that forever changed the course of music history.

Chantilly Lace

And a Pretty Face

J.P. "The Big Bopper" Richardson hoped to perform long enough to save the needed funds to purchase his own radio station.

Alyssa Schoenfeld Mountain View High School

B

orn October 24, 1930, in Sabine Pass, Texas, Jiles Perry (J.P.) Richardson, more commonly known as The Big Bopper, is best known for his classically timeless hit Chantilly Lace – and his premature death.

Erroneously known as a one-hit wonder, The Big Bopper was a gifted songwriter. Many of the Richardson’s early songs reflected of the loss of his high school love, as her parents did not approve of him, despite his plan to study prelaw.

After the breakup, and with a broken heart, Richardson headed to Lamar State College of Technology where he started working as a radio station DJ. It was there that Richardson adopted the persona of “The Big Bopper,” fitting his 240-pound frame. The purportedly timid man became an exuberant, energetic personality once in front of a microphone and, at the station,

broke a record for longest time on air, broadcasting for over 122 hours.

In 1955, The Bopper married Adrianne Fryou who healed his heart and whose influence can be heard in the country musicinspired Beggar to a King. The success of Chantilly Lace drove him into a performing career with hopes of earning enough money to purchase a radio station to support his growing family.

Fryou did not enjoy having her husband on the road for the Winter Dance Party Tour of 1959, as she was six months pregnant and was also caring for their young daughter.

After receiving word of The Big Bopper’s death, Fryou blamed the music world for the tragedy that so dramatically changed her life.

Losing his life at the age of 28, The Bopper never had the chance to receive his gold record plaque for Chantilly Lace and would have two

additional posthumous number one hits: Running Bear, performed

by Johnny Preston, and White Lightning, sung by George Jones.

The Big Bopper remained an important influence for many performers. Numerous artists, including Glen Campbell and Eddie Cochran, covered The Bopper’s songs. For many years, The Bopper’s heart and spirit lived on through his son, Jay Perry Richardson, born three months after his father’s death. He performed his dad’s songs as “Little Bopper” and “Bopper Jr.” until his death in 2013 at 54 years old.

It can be said that the music industry may have changed in an even more drastic way had The Big Bopper never died. The full influence on the music he so loved is forever unknown.

The Little Richard

of Pacoima, California

Ritchie Valens was on a path to superstardom by the time he was seventeen years old.

Alyssa Schoenfeld Mountain View High School

R

itchie Valens, born Richard Steven Valenzuela in 1941, had a career that lasted a mere two years, producing and releasing only one record in that time. His nostalgia, garage-rock guitar style, and embracement of his Hispanic heritage launched him and one of his most successful hits La Bamba, into a new chapter in rock and roll history.

While his parents had separated when Valens was three, he often spent time with his dad who

introduced him to both traditional Mexican music and blues and helped him learn to play guitar.

When his father died, Valens moved in with his uncle in Santa Monica, California, before moving back to Pacoima to stay with his mother, step-brother, and two step-sisters.

By listening to artists such as Chuck Berry and Elvis Presley and to Mexican songs from relatives, Valens practiced his skills and began to entertain friends at

COLDWELL BANKER TOMLINSON GROUP

Pacoima Jr. High, ultimately leading to an invitation to join The Silhouettes at the age of sixteen.

Valens’ stage presence is said to have been similar to that of Bo Didley with a rhythmic influence, and Valens pioneered the use of rhythmic guitars as lead instruments, quickly becoming one of his signature sounds.

Valens’ first single came out in 1958 on Del-Fi Records with the title Come On, Let’s Go, and Bob Keane

PAGE 9 Photo Credit: Taph Madison via via commons.wikimedia.org

of Keane Record Label advised the young singer to change his last name to “Valens” as he felt it would be more radio friendly.

It was Valens’ second song, Donna, that brought him the most success, reaching number two on the Billboard Hot 100. In the 1987 film, La Bamba, Valens’ relationship with Donna Ludwig is depicted as he sings, “I had a girl, Donna was her name.”

Throughout the film, a strong sense of racism is apparent as Donna’s father does not approve of her spending time with the

Mexican Valens. Despite this, Valens made a continual effort to prove to Donna, and the world, that he was a sweet kid trying to express himself through music.

folk music with the revolutionary rhythmic guitar Valens was so famous for, La Bamba was an unprecedented experiment into what music could be.

The ballad of Donna reflects Valens’ first love, his high school girlfriend, and the amount of fame he would gain through his simple yet honest lyrics and chord changes, singing with sincerity.

Tragically, Valens met the same fate as both Buddy Holly and The Big Bopper on the night of February 3, 1959, leaving the world to question how his career, had he lived, could have changed the face of music.

While Donna speaks to the degree of Valens’ short-lived fame, La Sources: biography.com, Bamba is among the most well- washingtonpost .com known of his songs. Combining We were unable to find a photo of Ritchie Valens traditional elements of Mexican in the public domain for use in this article.

The Day the Music Died

Bye, Bye, Miss American Pie

Don McLean's song is more than a tribute to the three musicians killed in an Iowa cornfield. It speaks of melancholy and the loss of a simpler time.

Alyssa Schoenfeld Mountain View High School

F

ebruary 3, 1959, became known as “The Day the Music Died” with the loss of Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and J.P. Richardson, better known as “The Big Bopper,” in a plane crash near Clear Lake, Iowa.

In January of the same year, Holly, Valens, The Big Bopper, and Dion and the Belmonts embarked on a twenty-four-show tour known as “The Winter Dance Party” with Holly, known for his rockabilly style and hits such as Peggy Sue

COLDWELL BANKER TOMLINSON GROUP

and That’ll Be the Day, being the biggest star of the group.

The artists had already played several venues before the show of February 2, but Holly had had enough of the unreliable, freezing

tour bus and decided to hire a plane to take him to Moorhead, Minnesota, for their next show.

The Big Bopper was tired of the small bus seats and asked Waylon Jennings, who was Holly’s bass player, to trade him seats, and Jennings agreed. When Valens asked guitarist Tommy Allsup for his seat, Allsup wasn’t nearly as agreeable, but decided on a coin toss, which he lost to Valens.

Jerry Dwyer, of Dwyer’s Flying Service, who owned the plane,

had noticed the plane’s takeoff was shaky and radioed 21-yearold Roger Peterson, the pilot, to see if everything was all right, and, with no answer, called the Fargo Airfield, which was the closest to their destination, to see if the plane had landed. It hadn’t, so he searched, only to find the downed plane about eight miles from Clear Lake in a cornfield.

Whether or not this crash can be attributed to bad weather, pilot error, or a combination of the two, the devastating crash of February 3, 1959 became known as “The Day the Music Died,” and served as inspiration for the song American Pie by Don McLean.

song are somewhat ambiguous, the song opens with, “A long time ago/I can still remember/how that music used to make me smile... but February made me shiver...,” a clear reference to the plane crash that killed Holly, The Big Bopper, and Valens. The line “that’ll be the day that I die” can be attributed to Holly’s recording That’ll Be the Day, but this song embodies the idea that the crash was so devastating that the music itself had died.

The loss of such influential figures, who changed the course of music and touched countless people, both fans and future musicians alike, speaks to a greater loss – of innocence, of a simpler time. The song is both a tribute to the crash and its victims and a statement about a changed society, a different America, "so, bye, bye, Miss American Pie."

Monthly Market Report

Record High Home Prices in 2018 Ada County saw record high home prices in 2018. But why?

Breanna Vanstrom, Chief Executive Officer Boise Regional REALTORS®

2

018 was another year of record low inventory and record high home prices in Ada County. Last year also gave us the first signs that the market may be shifting back towards balance, and many economists expect that to continue throughout 2019.

The overall median sales price (activity for existing/resale and new homes combined) was often reported as the area norm in 2018. However, to better understand our local market dynamics, it’s important to identify the factors that are driving prices in both segments and how those trends are affecting the overall median.

Case in point — based on past data, when new construction sales made up more than 24% or 25% of the total sales in a given month, the overall median sales price was 12-14% higher than the previous year, on average.

Since March 2018, every month of the year saw the share of new construction sales at or above that level, which had a major impact on the area’s overall median sales price.

In addition, the median sales price for new homes has also been rising steadily, due to increasing costs of land, labor, and construction materials. The 2018 median sales price for new construction in Ada County was $373,898, an increase of 10.2% compared to 2017. So, how much did this combination of more new homes selling at higher prices push Ada County’s overall median sales price up? For the year, the county’s overall

median sales price ended at $314,000 year-to-date (January 1–December 31, 2018), an increase of 18.0% over the same period in 2017.

While new home sales were up 22.4% in 2018 compared to 2017 — again, having a significant impact on the new record overall median sales prices we saw in 2018 — the number of existing/ resale home sales over the same period was down 4.1%.

Despite the year-over-year slip in existing home sales (more on that in a minute), the median sales price for existing homes in Ada County increased by 17.2% compared to 2017, ending the year at $290,000. As we’ve discussed many times throughout the year, this segment’s prices are being driven by the historic low levels of homes for sale compared to buyer demand.

December 2018 marked 51 consecutive months of year-over-year falling inventory in the number of existing homes for sale in Ada County.

The number of closed sales that are even possible is limited due to the fact we’ve had fewer and fewer existing homes to sell each month compared to buyer demand. This is the primary reason we’re seeing closed sales down year-over-year.

Another way to measure the relationship between inventory and buyer demand is with “Months Supply of Inventory.” This metric takes the number of homes for sale

COLDWELL BANKER TOMLINSON GROUP

(inventory) divided by the average number of closed sales by month for the preceding twelve months. The resulting number can be described as the number of months it would take to sell through all the available supply assuming no other homes came on the market.

A balanced market—not favoring buyers or sellers—is typically between 4-6 months of supply. Below four months typically favors sellers and more than six months typically favors buyers.

As of December 2018, the months supply of existing/resale inventory in Ada County was at 0.9 months, for all price points combined. (For comparison, while new construction supply under $250,000 was at 2.0 months of inventory, the overall segment climbed to 4.0 months (with all price points combined).

As long as the months supply of inventory for existing homes stays right around 1-2 months, existing home prices should remain higher.

This metric is showing us that buyer demand persists, even as there are fewer homes from which they can choose.

In summary, local home prices are being driven by the persistent and historically low inventory of existing homes compared to demand, and more new homes selling at overall higher prices, primarily due to rising construction costs.
