Hello!! Thanks for building the memorial. My band (Time and a Half) is playing at the casino 20 minutes north of the site on February 3rd. We will be making our first ever trip to the crash site on that day and I am looking forward to it!! Somehow being on stage February 3rd, 2017, the 48th anniversary of his passing, 20 minutes drive from the crash site is a bit haunting but it also feels like a strong honor. Buddy Holly's impact on rock n roll is easy to trace and for his life work, I am truly gracious. I am going to perform my best version of "Oh Boy" as the best way I can think of the honor my fallen hero.

You should also visit the Surf Ballroom - the site of their last show. It's close to the crash site.
It is a gravel road with no markers; from the interstate to the site. You park on the side of the road and walk down the field fence line to find the spot.
