Surf Ballroom

Category: Off Topic | Posted: Tue Aug 27, 2013 9:43 pm

We took a mini-vacation over the weekend, and visited Mason City and Clear Lake, Iowa. We'd heard about the Surf Ballroom (http://www.surfballroom.com/) and decided to visit, and we're glad we did. Talk about a step back in time!

Now that's looks like the ideal place for a short break. I hope you relaxed and took things easy after all your hard work.

"The day the music died" according to Don McLean's song "American Pie". Looks like a very fun place to visit, especially for us old rock n' rollers (ok... I was only a year old when the plane crashed... but love that music)

Wow that is neat. Reminds me of our Riverside Ballroom here in Green Bay, Wis. There is a monument to Buddy and the others who died. I believe that Buddy had just gotten done preforming at Riverside and had taken off for his next performance when the above plan crash took place.
