The West Texas Walk of Fame honors those individuals who have an affiliation to Lubbock and the West Texas area and have devoted much of their lives to the development of and/or gained recognition in the promotion or production of the arts, music and entertainment.[1]
Formation
The concept of a Walk of Fame for West Texas began as an idea between Waylon Jennings, Larry Corbin and Jerry Coleman as a way to recognize the Lubbock born Buddy Holly. This idea quickly grew into a way of honoring the numerous artists and musicians that came from West Texas. In 1979, Buddy Holly was the first inductee into the Walk of Fame, during which a concert took place to raise money for a statue and plaque in his honor. The following year, Waylon Jennings who prompted the initial idea, was himself inducted as the second member of the West Texas Walk of Fame.[2]
Continuation
In 1983, Lubbock non-profit group, Civic Lubbock, Inc. took over the running of The Walk of Fame, and have annually nominated and inducted many West Texas artists. They are also custodians of the bronze plaques that honor each inductee. In 2015, Civic Lubbock, Inc. oversaw the opening of the new home of the West Texas Walk of Fame at the Buddy and Maria Elena Holly Plaza located at 19th Street and Crickets Avenue. The plaza houses the original Buddy Holly statue and the bronze plaques for every inductee.[3]
