 I have to admit I was surprised. First when I saw how jammed the parking lot was for burger night at the Legion. Second, by the number of people that stayed the whole night to dance with us. Today is the actual anniversary, but the night commemorated the crash 51 years ago that took the lives and Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens & the Big Bopper (I never learned the name of the pilot. We also had a friend in attendance who had tickets for the next planned performance of Buddy Holly. You have all heard me say I am from Lubbock, Texas,  Buddy’s hometown, and it’s sad to remember how many years the city ignored it’s famous son. Well, this was a fitting tribute and I’m glad we had the chance to participate. I was also asked a couple of times about our absence from the Legion – it’s merely that Jennifer forgot about us. She actually thought we were already on the books for the year and had the first two months already filled by the time she realized it. So, we will be here regularly for the rest of the year – but I have to confess I think I have to cancel the April gig – my youngest has tickets for “Muse” in Phoenix. Other than that, we look forward to the year. See you in March.
