Big Bopper's son hires scientist to quell rumors | Chron.com - Houston Chronicle
I just loved The Big Bopper in the 50's! I still like hearing Chantilly Lace. I didn't realize he was only 28 when he died. His voice was so deep he sounded much older, but then again I was in my teens then and everyone seemed older!
I'm also absolutely fascinated by the Body Farm in Tennessee. Dr. Bill Bass who founded the Body Farm is also an expert in determining identities and what caused some one's death. I'm glad he's going to do the forensic autopsy and I hope I see the results when they are published.
The pictures are from here.
Oh and for the record (every pun intended!), Jerry Lee Lewis's version is lame. There was only one Big Bopper and the Killer doesn't even come close to that sound.

Wow, thanks Ashlyn for taking the time to respond (much less reading my comments on your granddaddy).
I never knew my daddy's daddy either...it's not fun growing up without ALL your grandparents, is it?
Take care!
