I'm surprised he was so young, though, because he was likely there with Buddy Holly the night he died, correct? I mean that's a LONG time ago, and the guy's only 72?
Poor guy probably half froze to death on that bus that night, probably had no idea how lucky he was.

Poor guy probably half froze to death on that bus that night, probably had no idea how lucky he was. He'd have been about 19? Don't forget Buddy was only 21 and Ritchie only 17.
