Today started out great, even though I was supposed to be in Salt Lake City for the U2 tour opener. Last night I realized there were more Buddy Holly sites to see in Lubbock, so we left the hotel around 8 am after a quiet, restful night. Buddy Holly’s studio at 1926 19th Street.

I found the old Rock Creek [continue reading]

Elvis, Cilla & I left Memphis at 9am, stopped for a few minutes about 3 hours later somewhere in Arkansas and arrived in Tulsa, OK just before 3:30pm. This was the worst day of my trip, but it was supposed [continue reading]
