Norman Petty Studio website
After you've seen the documentary on Thursday, you'll probably want to come and visit the studio itself. The best time is during the Clovis Music Festival. Quotes below are from the Festival website:
The Clovis Music Festival will take place at Marshall Auditorium on September 10-13, 2009. We are excited to have the following artists performing at this year's festival, they are: The Nelson Brothers, The Originators of Rock & Roll featuring Johnny Rogers as Buddy Holly, Darell Croy as Jerry Lee Lewis, Pete Peterkin as Little Richard, Johnny Tillotson, Shirley Alston Reeves of The Shirelles, Dave Somerville of The Diamonds, The Fireballs, Tommy Allsup, Kevin Montgomery and more.
In September of last year, Clovis opened the Norman and Vi Petty Rock & Roll Museum, which is another place to visit. Another quote: [The museum] celebrates the achievements of record producer Norman Petty. The museum features unique items from his life and times. The museum is located at the Clovis/Curry County Chamber of Commerce, 105 E. Grand Ave. The museum hours are 8 a.m. to noon and 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Admission to the museum is $5 per person. Check back for information about festival hours.

If I ever get back to your part of the world, I'd say that was something I should see.

I just wanted to thank you for all your positive comments about Clovis. My husband just got orders to Cannon, and after reading and hearing all the negatives about the area, I thought my life was over. However, you and a friend that has recently moved there has made me realize that it really isn't that bad, and can actually be enjoyable. Thank you so much for that!
JC and Kevin, thanks for stopping by. Kevin, can't wait to hear you at the music festival.
Brittney, don't worry about Clovis. It won't be like any place you've ever lived, but the people are friendly and the weather is incredible. I've got a bunch of photos of the town posted at http://www.city-data.com/forum/members/clairz-53397-albums.html if you'd like to take a look. If you have any questions about living here, just ask!
