Buck Owens R.I.P.

This guy was a true legend. Anytime you have a type of music credited to you or where you live, I'd say you 've left your mark. The "Bakersfield Sound" was the his creation, but he'll probably be remembered for being the host of Hee-Haw. I never watched Hee-Haw very much, but there was a honky tonk bar (now I know it was the Cricket on the Hill) I used to go to in Denver, Colorado of all places and the band, led by Denver Joe and Uncle somebody used to play Buck Owens tunes, every tune, every time. He's say "Thi's an ol' Buck Owens tune"and get completely wasted on stage. They were awesome.

Buck
