A friend that lived across the street from me in The Villages before I moved was at Buddy Holly's last show. His mother worked making and selling popcorn in The Surf Ballroom. She was also there.
His father for a mail carrier and had to change his route because the road next to the cornfield was blocked by emergency vehicles.
Talking to him about that day is fascinating.
