Sixty-Four years ago to this day
A famous rock star from the USA
Died as the result of a car crash
Near Chippenham in Wiltshire
I can remember my Dad telling my Mum
Of the tragedy over dinner a few days later
I was very small and did not appreciate
The gravity of the accident that had that occurred
Which I suppose was a blessing in disguise
Eddie Cochran (1938 – 1960)
