I played that steel and steinberger. I still have them both 2024! I miss those days with Buck.

[@dennismorlan1683]

That must have been a great experience !

[@lennartsjostrom3167]

I saw Buck, Don and Doyle in Copenhagen, Denmark in 1969. Great show. He can still do it here. Real Country Music.

[@kentconradssonsvensson]

Best country singer ever. That is Buck Owens!

YOU SAID IT HOSS

[@donaldwatson3176]

Agreed!

[@jackdempsey9644]

Damn right

[@Clearwater124]

I was born in 53, so in 66/67/68/69, you know what I was listening to. Many evenings I had to ask Mom to get Dad to turn the music down while I was trying to do the little homework that I did. He had a big tv/radio/stereo, about 6 ft. long in the living room. Many evenings of listening to Buck, Merle, and George. Buck in the 60s was unstoppable, great band, great songs. Never stopped listening.

[@tonymazz9912]

I remember when I was about 10 y/o and was trying to find some music on the stero I heard" Tiger by the Tail". and was dancing in the living room .. my parents thought I went nuts. From that point I was hooked on Buck Owens and the sound of Don Rich. There sound would always put you in a good mood no matter what. GOD bless Buck and Don , may they make the Angels dance in the heavens above.

[@patriciajrs46]

Good comments. Nothing wrong with happy music.

[@Twobarpsi]

Yes!

[@vincesarmento4854]

I was around 5 and the song for me was Girl On The Sugar Pie Lane! After that I made a TELECASTER out of 2 pieces of scap wood and put on concerts outback as l played and sang on top of a flat roof doghouse!!

I've been a fan of Buck Owens since the 1960s when we use watch the Buck Owens Show on TV. It would come on right before Hee Haw, lol.

[@aracelypadilla4658]

Buck was a great guitar player. Played all over the world and could afford to live in lavish city and house but called Bakersfield his home til he passed.

[@keithwaynejones]

i saw him play at the crystal palace a few weeks before he passed. i’ll never forget it

[@Texasbluestunes]

Much like Mickey Gilley, he's still here in Pasa "get-down" dena when not on the road.

[@vincesarmento4854]

He was a studio guitar player too, before ever becoming big, he had a bad called the Play Boys, School House Boys and discovered the Fender Telecaster, it was almost called the Broadcaster, Buck advertised for Fender! Buck was a County Rock n Roller !

[@vincesarmento4854]

Buck had a big Ranch in California and had a studio on the property where the Buck Owens Ranch Shows were shot! It was before Hee Haw, check them out on KZbin! Back in the 60's many people had B & W TV Sets, oh they missed out on those wild, beautiful suits they wore!

The first Buck Owens song I learned was " Buckeroo", the band I played in 1983-2000 opened and ended with it for years. We got to open for Beatlemania and Big Wheelie and the hub caps.

Buck closing speech about his daddy is a real tear jerker. I hope Buck’s estate still has that guitar. As a kid, I remember Buck's red, white and blue guitars that Sears sold out of their catalogs.

[@MDM0915]

If you want to hear Buck and Don Owens light it up, search Buck Owens Carnegie Hall 1966. HeHaw was great but made a few people forget what a trailblazer he was while Nashville was going a different direction.

My late Father's All-time favorite, well, Buck & Ol' Marty Robbins also. Pop would travel from So-Calif up to Buck's Crystal Palace in Bakersfield to see him perform. He alway's was after me to go with them, but I never made the time & it's now one of my biggest regrets 🙏 RIP Pop & Buck ✝️

[@jimwest6571]

@@jeffclark7888 Responding to TED's post above I believe that is the correct sceanario. Its in good hands if Marty Stuart now owns it. He is steeped in Country Music history. I'm sure it might end up in the CMHOF someday. Don Rich needs to be inducted in a "side man, musician" category. Hope it happens soon.

The drummer is Jim McCarty. Willie Cantu left the group in 1969, I believe.
