Fifty Years Ago, to the Day

Edited on Sun Feb-01-09 10:14 PM by mahatmakanejeeves

Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and J. P. Richardson, "The Big Bopper," on their Winter Dance Party tour, played the Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake, Iowa. Then they went to the Mason City airport. They boarded an airplane to go to Fargo, North Dakota, the nearest airport for the next stop on their tour, Moorhead, Minnesota.*

Winter Dance Party

Wikipedia entry, The Day the Music Died

* Wikipedia says it was Duluth. Someone clue me in.

Edited: someone already has. The Wiki for the Surf Ballroom confirms it was Moorhead.
