    THANK YOU Darryl!!! I really enjoyed that! A "half-dollar" coin flip changed the face of music. Thanks again.

    You are welcome John. That company also has an interesting piece on the words behind John McLean's "American Pie". It's worth watching, I promise!

    You have to wonder if Tommy saved the Half Dollar??? Wonder if it was a Franklin or Liberty? I would like to think that if he does not have it, it's in the music hall-a-fame. lol - Who knows, maybe it's in one of our collections? It's a sad story...

    You must have read my mind Darryl. I was thinking the exact same thing about Tommy, and if he saved the half-dollar! Wonder where the coin is at now??? Again, GREAT thread! Thank you.
