The Night the Music Lived

A full report of the 50th anniversary concert at the Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake Iowa...and yes, there is a Stupid Music element, as Bob Wills producer Tommy Allsup was a member of Holly's band that night, and lost his seat on the ill-fated plane to Richie Valens in a coin toss. Tommy finished this year's show with a guitar solo on "Not Fade Away".
