February 3rd, 1959... R.I.P.


McCandless

Recommended Posts

Remember it well. The plane crash was only 30 miles from my home town of Clarion. I was a junior in high school at the time and frequented the Surf Ball Room on several occasions in my high school years. Buddy Holly was one of my all time favorites--still is. Somewhat ironically, "The Buddy Holly Story" is playing live now at the Riverside Dinner Theater here in Fredericksburg, VA. We'll be going to see it in the next week or two. Saw this show 20 years ago at the Kennedy Center. It's really good.

Stopped in at the Surf Ballroom this past summer - it is still a functioning venue. And what a great layout. I think it can seat several thousand and all the seats have a good vantage to see the stage. The dance floor is amazing!
