In Pursuit of Buddy Holly

February 3 marks the anniversary of Buddy Holly's Iowa plane crash—"The Day the Music Died." We'll talk to Gary W. Moore, whose new book "Hey Buddy: In Pursuit of Buddy Holly, My New Buddy John, and My Lost Decade of Music" (Savas Beatie), tells of his personal journey to find out what made Holly so appealing and his music so timeless. Moore also discloses new information that raises questions about the cause of the plane crash. We also talk to Holly expert Jeff Nicholas, President of the North Iowa Cultural Center and Museum, located in Clear Lake's Surf Ballroom.
