Buck Owens has passed
I know that might not mean a lot to those of you who are not fans of country -- REAL country music, not that crap that passes for country these days -- but I just heard on the news that one of the founders of the "California" school of the genre died. Relax. All we have to do is "Act Naturally."

1. Didn't he die a couple of days ago?
Sorry, not LBN and you need a link.

Thanks.

8. Well, then, it's "late" breaking news
or, "late" as in "he's dead, Jim"

6. Hee Haw and the guy with the guitar, not the banjo
that was Buck Owens.

He was a great entertainer.

9. I got the Hungries for your Love
and I'm waiting in your welfare line. Buck made lots of money off my household in the 60's. Quite a performer and a very colorful entourage as well. Thanks for posting.

Beware of a tall, dark stranger, when he comes riding into your town.

11. So right after I post this I tell my wife about it and she says
"He died a few days ago, dummy!"

Sorry. My apologies. -- And I wasn't on another planet over the weekend -- I was in Saint Louis! (or maybe that qualifies)
