1822 Buddy Holly

Lubbock, Texas

the day the music died

 

There were crowds of people today playing tribute to Buddy Holly on the 56th anniversary of the fatal plane crash.  The trolley leaving the Buddy Holly Center was packed with people wanting to see the significant Buddy Holly sites in Lubbock. The sculpture created by the late Steve Teeters replicates the glasses worn by Buddy that fateful day.  Those glasses, now on display in the museum, sat in a manila envelop in the sheriff's office in Mason City, Iowa for 21 years.  When discovered, they were returned to Maria Elena who placed them in Buddy's hometown for the fans to view.
