50 Winters Later Starts Today
Oh you sweet thing
Do I what
Will I what
Oh baby you know what I like
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum, along with the Surf Ballroom & Museum in Clear Lake Iowa (as of this posting in Clear lake it is minus three degrees) , will honor the 50th anniversary of the Winter Dance Party with a weeklong series of events beginning on Wednesday, January 28 that will culminate in a tribute concert at the Surf Ballroom where J.P. “The Big Bopper” Richardson, Ritchie Valens and Buddy Holly played their final concert.
I had a girl
Donna was her name
Since she left me
I've never been the same
'Cause I love my girl
Donna, where can you be
Where can you be
It was at the Surf Ballroom where Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and “The Big Bopper” played their final concert on February 2, 1959. Later that night after boarding a plane bound for North Dakota their plane crashed killing all on board.
Peggy Sue, Peggy Sue
Pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, Peggy Sue
Oh, my Peggy, my Peggy Sue
Oh, well, I love you gal
And I need you, Peggy Sue
