Ed & Buddy.....Shhhhhhhhhhh......
The first one in this week with the correct answer was Mz. Maggie Pollard,
but because she is in Ireland this week.....
and Ireland hasn't invented the internet yet....she'll never know.
Unless you tell her and
I KNOW YOU WON'T!!
This week's GRAND PRIZE winner is none other than the Birthday Boy himself....
Mr. James Farrell.
He knew that the specs were located in Clear Lake, IA.
Which is the spot where Buddy Holly, Richie Valens,
and the Big Bopper's plane went down on this date in 1959.
Buddy was 22....
Pretty spooky in that "Deliverance"

Pretty spooky in that "Deliverance"
kind of way....
I don't think that I have ever been to a place that was soooo quiet...EVER.
No cars...planes....tractors....dogs barking...nothing.
I had this feeling that something was going to jump out of the corn....
so I ran like a girl back to my car!!
--A 14-year old Don (American Pie) McLean found out about Buddy's death while delivering papers (shiver/deliver)
--I ONLY put 3 Buddy Holly song titles in the hints on Tuesday.....
(OH BOY!--THINK IT OVER--IT'S SO EASY)
HAPPY 50 Mr. Farrell.....
CHA CHA CHA!!!
Born on the Day the Music (and fashion) Died.....

Hi Marty- very nice of you to give away my grand prize this week. Even us travellers can get internet access :)
I look forward to your next "challenge" on Tuesday :)
PS- happy birthday Emo!
Sorry Maggster...
