A Pilgrimage to Clear Lake

Late Friday night YaYa invited me on a trip the next day to Clear Lake, Iowa, where Buddy Holly and Ritchie Valens passed away. I was already committed to visiting my Mom, having done some grocery shopping for her, and so passed on a trip I would have thoroughly enjoyed. Late Saturday night, YaYa posted a wonderful tribute to the lost stars - Dan

Early trip to Iowa to commemorate the Day the Music Died. I've always wanted to visit as i grew up listening to Buddy Holly’s music often (thanks, Dad) but it’s surreal to think that at 23 I've lived longer than a musical icon whose art is still appreciated today. It was freezing and got dark quickly but I'm glad to have gone. We got to see the Surf Ballroom as well - line out the door for a tribute event. -
