I couldn't think of the name of the song, just the melody. I hummed it for my wife..."No!" she said, I don't know the name of it, but I've heard it before. I asked someone at work...same answer. It really bothered me until I finally thought ofthe name...BUCKAROO! I couldn't believe it, that simple song driove me crazy. I started reading about Buck Owens and looking into who he was. More than just another country singer. I have to agreee that America, indeed the world lost a music talent the likes of which we will not see again. I want to believe that on the day of my final voyage I will be greeted at the pearly gates by Buck Owens and Don Rich as they smile at each other and pick away at their guitars. I wish that I had paid more attention to what a gift he was while he was still alive. I never saw Buck in concert, like Chad above I only saw him on TV in Hee Haw when I was growing up. I am going to go the Crystal Palace and take in the atmosphere and see what it might have been like. Damn I wish Icould have seen him and told himwhat great music he made.

So far, it looks like this comment section is becoming my own personal song shrine, but I'd rather share it with the rest of you who also may have a song, a poem, or a story to share about Buck Owens. In the mean time, here's the only song featured on my Confessions of a Buckaholic CD that Buck Owens actually heard, and liked. That's the word I got from Buckaroo, keyboard player, and Buck's then business manager, Jim Shaw after I sent a rough cassette recording of the song to Jim and he played it for Buck. Of course, back then, the song was called, "The Buck Stops Here." Now it's entitled, "The Buck Stopped Here," but perhaps I should have kept the first title, since his spirit will always be with us.
