Buddy Holly

I went to the Surf Ballroom, Buddy Holly, Richie Valens & The Big
Bopper's last concert site. Everything inside pretty much as it was.
Thousands of photos of rock stars who've played here. Clippings of
Buddy, his guitar & records. Pineapple wallpaper and palms on the stage.

After that I drove 5 miles to the crash site literally in the middle
of nowhere. A big pair of black glasses marks the trail. His grave is
at the end amidst fields of corn. Overcast, breezy, misty here. Pretty
desolate spot to end up...

Heading to Gull Point State Park north of here.
