Good morning and welcome to the Freedom New Mexico Friday briefing.
Holly star
It’s not all things Buddy Holly just in Clovis.
Buddy Holly got his star on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame on Wednesday, which would have been the singer-songwriter’s 75th birthday.
Just a little tidbit of information to take with you to the Clovis Music Festival now taking place in town.
