The crash site is on private property a five-mile drive from Clear Lake and half-mile walk off the road. Corn grows high in adjacent fields during the summer but in winter the fields are covered with snow and a path to the small memorial is often thick with ice. The memorial features a small cross and thin metal guitar and records all of which are draped in flowers during the summer. “It’s a much nicer trip in the summer” said Jeff Nicholas a longtime Clear Lake resident who heads the Surf Ballroom’s board of directors. “But in the winter you get more of a feel of what it was like. “No one tracks the number of visitors but fans stop by throughout the year and on some summer days visitors to the crash site can create the oddity of a corn field traffic jam. Stewart said the deaths still resonate because they occurred at a time when rock ‘n’ roll was going through a transition of sorts.

There is no way we can sit back and have these instruments lost to a legal battle and a private collector. “The instruments are Mother Maybelle Carter’s Gibson 1928 L-5 guitar and Bill Monroe’s Gibson F-5 Loar mandolin both of which they spent their lives playing. McLean also had donated Johnny Cash’s Martin D-35 acoustic guitar and his Martin prototype guitar to the museum. “It’s only logical that the Country Music Hall of Fame hold these instruments” said Bob Romeo the executive director of the Academy of Country Music the trade organization that donated $300000 and hosts the annual Academy of Country Music Awards every year in Las Vegas. The money from the campaign will go to pay the $750000 bankruptcy settlement the cost to continue making payments on the instruments and the legal costs involved. “We all know in these times this is a tall order” said museum director Kyle Young. “We will stay at this as long as possible because this is a central issue.
