Buddy Holly Megapost

As I've written before, one of my hobbies is collecting baseball cards and while I was going through a couple packs today I came upon this card:


Next year marks the 50th Anniversary of the "Day the Music Died." Each year Clear Lake, Iowa holds their Fifties in February concert in Buddy's honor at the Surf Ballroom where he played his last concert.

These are some of my favorite Buddy songs, with my top special being "Rave On." I would always play that one on the jukebox of my favorite bar during my undergrad years, The Joynt.
