Clear Lake is a beautiful town, but it has a sad history. <br />On the evening of February 2, 1959, at Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake Iowa during the Winter Dance Party, was to be the last performances for J.P. "The Big Bopper" Richardson, Richie Valens, and Buddy Holly (I am a fan of Buddy Holly). <br />A few hours later the trio, along with their pilot, took off from the near by Mason City airport enroute to Fargo, North Dakota, so they could do a performace the following night at nearby Morehead, Minnesota. A few minutes after takeoff, the plane crashed about 5 miles north of Clear Lake, thus making February 3, 1959"The Day the Music Died."<br />I didn't make it to the crash site, but I did pay homage at the Surf Ballroom. As I was standing in front of the Surf Ballroom, my mind was filled with "That'll Be the Day", "Maybe Baby", "Peggy Sue" and other great songs. <br />My God, what else would he have done? But what Buddy, Richie, and J.P. left were true treasures.
