New Mexico Snowstorm, December 5, 2011/Photo One





This photograph was taken Monday, December 5, during a mammoth snowstorm that was pounding Central New Mexico. The photo was taken near U.S. Highway 60 that runs through New Mexico, East to West.

In the East in New Mexico, Highway 60 starts near the town of Clovis, where the great Buddy Holly of Lubbock, Texas, recorded some of his legendary music, including the timeless classic "Oh Boy."

(For more about Buddy Holly, and John Pickering, who sang backing vocals on "Oh Boy" and other Buddy Holly tunes, visit www.musicoftheworldXXI.blogspot.com and www.texasmusicnow.blogspot.com.)



(When this photograph was taken, the Arctic storm was nowhere near finished.)
