Buddy Holly and Billy the Kid -- Dec 24, 2009

By
Real Estate Agent with Century 21 Hardee-Team Realty

Driving from Abilene, Texas to Durango, Colorado, I stumbled upon some interesting characters -- Buddy Holly and Billy the Kid.  The first shots were taken December 24th at Buddy Holly Plaza in Lubbock, Texas.  There had been a snow storm the previous night and part of the 24th and the snow and ice made driving (and walking) really dangerous.

Here is a close up of the the Buddy Holly plaque.

These next picutures are from the Billy the Kid (William H. Bonnie) gravestone in Fort Sumner, New Mexico.

Below is the Old Fort Sumner Museum, which is in front of the cemetary with Billy's gravestone.

Thanks for sharing your photos Liz.  I love history and am glad to see someone else who takes the time to stop and look at history on their trips.

I see we share a fancy for shooting photographs of famous people's graves. Somewhere I have a photo of where Buffalo Bill is buried.

Interestingly, Buddy Holly's music catalog is owned by Paul McCartney, yet his pre-1967 Beatles music was owned by Michael Jackson. Wonder why people don't own their own music! LOL

Happy New Year!
