I grew up in Clovis, used to see Norm Petty around town in the 70's. The studio is interesting, but other than that, Clovis is so lacking in interesting things to do. It is very boring. If not for this recording studio, people from Europe would not be flocking here. And yes, Buddy Holly was a great artist. But one must remember the words Holly once humbly stated , Holly said, "If it weren't for Elvis, none of us would be here." John Lennon said similar. Elvis was the true King of rock and roll.

What an amazing experience. To be able to see everything and touch it all was tremendous. Ken broad is a wonderful man; so full of knowledge and enthusiasm. You can tell its a labour of love. It was great too to meet and chat with David Bigham of the Roses. Another lovely man. It's a must for any Buddy Holly fan and it was well worth the trip from England. To sit in the same chair that Buddy did and listen to his music coming out of the same speakers he did was awesome. Many thanks to Ken and to David for taking the time to help me live a dream.No charge but you can and should make a donation.

This is an amazing tour, Ken is a wonderful man full of knowledge and a passion for preserving the life of Norman and Vi Petty. Was amazing to sit on the very seat Buddy Holly had sat on and see where all the magic happened. Top 5 highlight of our 6 week trip. Thank you again Ken.

We visited Clovis NM the weekend of the Rock n Roll Music Festival. We took this tour of the original recording studio of Norman Petty where he recorded artists like Buddy Holly and the Crickets.

The place where the first great music I ever heard was made. The host Reverend Kenneth Broad was charming and very well informed. It is amazing to see how Norman Petty provided a home from home for stars like Buddy Holly and The Crickets, not just charging them by the hour by allowing them time and space to develop their ideas. There is a kitchen a lounge a bedroom and shower as part of the studio complex. Very innovative. And the sound from the speakers is quite wonderful. While Listening to Listen To Me, I found David Bigham of the Roses was singing the exact harmony next to me that he sang on the record. Wonderful. Go and see it. Make your day.

To find such a significant piece of history is a true gift! Tons of history here, with authentic items used during its hayday. The back area that was used as a house is a little full and feels like an antique store rather than a museum, with dishes, glasses, bowls, etc. and I didn't understand the significance of these, but the studio section was awesome. I would suggest that those with children watch them carefully because they don't seem to understand or care about what is going on.

We spent the morning with Ken on the 18th Sept 2013 and it was a wonderful time, my husband Dave is a great Buddy Holly fan and to see and sit in the chair used by BH was the highlight of the tour, a big thanks to Ken for making this a wonderful time for us both we are greatly appreciative of the time and effort he gives to keep the memory going to all these wonderful artists.

Our visit to the Norman Petty Studio was a totally awesome experience. My husband, a great fan of the Fireballs as well as Buddy Holly, was so excited to see the studio as it stood when these great artists recorded here. Our guides, artists themselves, were so terrific in answering questions, and bringing the place to life. I would highly recommend this venue.

The original 7th street studio is still in its original mid-century condition with all of the original equipment operational. The people who provide the historic discussions / demonstrations of the studio know their stuff. It is too cool to miss!
