Up at midnight./// today there were celebrations and tributes all throughout our area.

In pine island... joe covert and his bandmates performed some of the greatest hits from buddy holly, ritchie valens and the big bopper.

Although today makes 60 years since the crash... covert says the music lives on forever.xxx it is the 60th anniversary and i suspect this will be the biggest anniversary.

The 50th anniversary was huge but a lot of people still remember these songs and they turn out in droves.

The tribute continues.
