2. Buddy Holly 'Rave On'
Living in Iowa I've had the honor of attending the reunion at the Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake. To any fans of Buddy Holly, J.P. Richardson and Richie Valens - GO TO THE DANCE PARTY! :hi:

9. I hope I have the opportunity to go there some day.
Sounds like a great time and some of the old boys I've seen listed as participating ain't gonna be around forever. I live in NM and still haven't gotten to see the Norman Petty studio (except driving by it once on the way from Albuquerque to Austin). I'd really love to do that too...

Go ahead! Sing along!

Para bailar la bamba
Para bailar la bamba
Se necesita una poca de gracia
Una poca de gracia pa'mí y pa' ti
Ay Arriba y arriba
Ay arriba y arriba por ti seré
Por ti seré
Por ti seré

Yo no soy marinero,
Yo no soy marinero
Soy capitan
Soy capitan
Soy capitan
Bamba, Bamba
Bamba, Bamba
Bamba, Bamba

Para bailar la bamba
Para bailar la bamba
Se necesita una poca de gracia
Una poca de gracia pa'mí y pa' ti
Ay Arriba y arriba
Ay arriba y arriba por ti seré
Por ti seré
Por ti seré

Yo no soy marinero,
Yo no soy marinero
Soy capitan
Soy capitan
Soy capitan
Bamba, Bamba
Bamba, Bamba
Bamba, Bamba
