I was born...10 months, 17 days after that horrific night!
" I" was 11 yrs old....when this song was released & researched it's reference. For most my life...this song has held a special spot in my heart.
At age 14 ...I moved from W.Des Moines,Iowa to north central Iowa...45 minutes west of Clear Lake, IA.
One of the first things I did that first summer was to visit the Surf Ballroom & "their" memorial site.
Every time I stop there over all these years... I still! get that very uneasy feeling...
"This" ....is a very special place!!
Forever Great!.......
