The Day The Music Died

Buddy Holly died in 1959 at the age of 22 in Iowa after performing at the Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake. He was on a plane going to Minnesota when a short distance out of Clear Lake the plane crashed and all on board were killed.

The first two pictures were of the outside of the Surf, and the next is Mitzi checking for the address. The street sign is in the middle of a bean field.

The last three are of the spot where he music died.
