| We drove through Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana to Lubbock,
Texas. Roundabout 1.400 miles. We really enjoyed this trip on the
way to our idol, the one and only Buddy Holly, who died in 1959 in
a fatal plane crash together with Ritchie Valens, J.P. Richardson,
known as the “Big Bopper” and Roger Peterson, the pilot. | | | |

Hi, Buddy !

and we had a beautiful evening.

|
| We talked about Buddy’s music and looked at a lot of pictures. | | |
| | | The next day I went to Buddy’s grave and stood there in
silence for a long time. It meant a lot to me to stand there. |
