<![CDATA[Rock n Roll Pilgrimage]]> I don't know if I may have put something like this on here before,   but as you know, I am a traveler, and I have a number of things I like to see and do when I travel:  National Park Units, Presidential Homes, College Campuses. etc.  

One other thing that I have done over the years is to make what I call Rock n Roll Pilgrimages.   To visit sites that have been  important or noteworthy in Rock n Roll History.

Examples of places I have been to:   The site of the 1969 Woodstock Festival.  The Muscles Shoals Ala.  studio.   Penny Lane and Abbey Road.  And obviously the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame.   There are a few others perhaps that have slipped my mind...but you can help me there.  

But come next weekend, I will be making a stop at another famous site in R&R history:    The Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake Iowa.    This is the site of the final concert put on by Buddy Holly/Richie Valens/Big Bopper before their plane crashed and killed them all.  If I recall Waylon Jennings was supposed to be on that plane but gave up his seat.    Just north of town about 5 miles is the actual crash site where there is a memorial.

But my question is:    What are other sites where you can, or have made a Rock n Roll Pilgrimage to?   Besides the ones I have mentioned above.
