One of Clear Lake's premier attractions is the Surf Ballroom. The ballroom is best known as the site of Buddy Holly's last concert on February 2, 1959. Holly, along with Ritchie Valens and J.P. "The Big Bopper" Richardson, died in a plane crash north of Clear Lake following their performance at the Surf in the early morning hours of February 3rd.
I was a senior in High School. 50 years ago. Somehow it does not seem that long ago.
