John Lee Hooker was born in (abouts) 1917 in the extremely tiny, rural town of Tutwiler, Mississippi — coincidentally the very same town where W.C. Handy first heard & documented a man singing what he called “the blues” in 1903.

On February 2nd, 1959, Waylon Jennings gave up his seat on an airplane to The Big Bopper, and guitarist Tommy Allsup lost a coin flip to Ritchie Valens for the two remaining seats on Buddy Holly’s chartered plane — which would crash hours later.
