Re: Buddy Holly, A Really Big Tribute Show Planned!
My wife and me went out to Clear Lake with Jerry his wife Joy 3 years ago. We had a blast! I couldn't beleive how many BH fans were attending from overseas. I got to talk to Jerry Dwyer owner of the plane that Buddy Holly, Big Bopper and Ritchie Valens died in. This is the 50th anniversary of the day the music died.

Re: Buddy Holly, A Really Big Tribute Show Planned!
Made it to Clear Lake, IA about an hour ago. The damn Chrysler van that I rented took a dump on I-35 north and wouldn't go over 50 mph. What a POS. I always use Enterprise when I travel but there were no GM products in Des Moines when I arrived. Usually they have plenty of Impalas, that's my favorite.
12 degrees here. Jerry

Re: Buddy Holly, A Really Big Tribute Show Planned!
There is an article in our local paper today about the show. Make sure and walk to the memorial. Should be a fun hike in those temps!

Re: Buddy Holly, A Really Big Tribute Show Planned!
Thursday Night, nine degrees here before the concert. People here from 47 states and seven countries. The Surf was packed last night. Lots of media here from all over the country and a lot of classic cars out on the parking lot believe it or not.
Can't deal with the temps out here and the wind. Buddy Holly's widow is here for the event. Also met Ritchie Valens' sister and family. Dick Richards, 85 years old from Haley's Comets did an amazing drum solo last night that would have got Buddy Rich's attention. We play on the big show, Saturday night.......second out. Going up to Minn on Sunday to look at a car. That is my only day off here. Jerry
