Holly - Valens - Bopper Surf Ballroom Monument

Holly - Valens - Bopper Surf Ballroom Monument

In 1959, Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and J.P. "the Big Bopper" Richardson played their last gig here at the Surf Ballroom. Their airplane crashed a few miles to the north. I took this photo at night with a flash.

Clear Lake, Iowa
