Carlton Godbold President Cultural Center 2601 19th Street TX 79410 o d b o I d M u I t i A rts, Inc. Lubbock, (806) 741-19531953 ITO 5 for: Lubbock City Council Hearing of July 28, 1994 Honorable Mayor and Council Members, My name is Carlton Godbold. I am founder and president of the Godbold Cultural Center, located at 2601 19th Street. I believe that the collection of Buddy Holly memorabilia would be an important part of the proposed West Texas Music Museum, and that such a museum would be a valuable addition to our community, both as a tourist attraction and as an ongoing community resource linking Lubbock to all of West Texas. I would like to offer space at the Godbold Cultural Center for such a museum, either on a temporary or permanent basis. The Godbold center is uniquely suited for this facility, for many reasons. First of all, the building has a historical connection to Buddy Holly. According to testimony from family members, Holly was born at the family home on 6th street, then taken to the "Key Clinic." The Avalanche Journal of Sept. 8, 1936 lists the place of birth (perhaps erroneously) as the "Key Clinic." Shortly after this date, the Key Clinic became the Plains Clinic and then St. Mary's of the Plains Hospital. It is the same building which now houses the Godbold Cultural Center: thus, it is the next best thing to the "birthplace" of Buddy Holly. I last appeared before you in April of 1993, to ask your permission to build a Cultural Center on this site. The building has been completely renovated, in accordance with all of the latest building codes. A state-of-the-art security system is in place, and the collections are guarded by 24 hour a day security. The Cultural Center is now a reality. The Center has hosted well attended art displays and music performances by contemporary artists - local, national, and international. Tours by school children and out-of-town visitors are an everyday occurrence. To date, no public funds have been used. Of course, the Center pays property taxes, state franchise taxes, & sales taxes. This cultural center is an important paradigm of national significance, and the West Texas Music Museum is an opportunity to prove that the private sector can cooperate with the public sector to create cultural assets of enduring value, at minimum cost to the taxpayer. My offer is, quite simply, to provide the space to make a West Texas Music Museum an immediate reality. Public funds would be used to acquire, insure, and curate the displays. Thank you for your time in considering my proposal. Whatever your decision, I support keeping this collection of Buddy Holly memorabilia in Lubbock.
