Buddy Holly Center Marks The Day The Music Died
Okay, boys and girls, I m sure you know this, but the Buddy Holly Hall and the Buddy Holly Center are two different places. The one on 19th Street with huge glasses is having a free to-do this week you should take advantage of.
It happens on February 3rd, better known as The Day the Music Died, when Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, J.P, The Big Bopper Richardson died in a plane crash, along with pilot, Roger Peterson.
I cannot recommend the Buddy Holly Center enough. It s a quality exhibition and you can see it for free this week. If you do manage to take a gander, you ll see a radio control board that we actually donated to the center. You can also see some of Buddy s glasses, which really brings everything home in a sobering way.
On Feb. 3 the Buddy Holly Center in Lubbock, is remembering the 62nd anniversary of the plane crash that took the lives of J.P. âThe Big Bopperâ Richardson, pilot Roger Peterson, Richie Valens, and Buddy Holly, according to a release made by the City of Lubbock..
The Don McLean song American Pie references the deaths of these singing legends, and the date was coined The Day the Music Died because of that lyric, according to the release. Free admission will be offered by the Buddy Holly Center on Feb. 3.
Hourly screenings of The Buddy I Knew, the Buddy Holly Documentary, by Larry Holly will be showing in the South Gallery from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. according to the release.
