Not Fade Away: 'Holly Buddies' make pilgrimage to Crystal Rock
Legendary singer played local ballroom in 1958
A group of six Buddy Holly fans took a musical road trip recently to visit the venues where the famous musician and his band "The Crickets" performed before his untimely death in a plane crash. Last Friday, the group, known as the Holly Buddies, explored Crystal Rock near Rhinelander. Holly played there in July 1958 when the former roller rink was a ballroom. (subscriber access)
