r.i.p. buck owens...

A bunch of us had reservations tonight to see Buck Owens at his Crystal Palace. We had planned to celebrate a friends birthday with Buck in Bakersfield. A friend called me this morning with the bad news, that Buck had just died. That call was immediately followed by the Crystal Palace calling to tell me the sad news... I could hear the caller's voice crack & didn't want to make her repeat the story. I figure she was having to call each and every one of us on the reservation list. I just told her, 'I had heard the news.' She said the place would be closed a few days. I asked her to please 'Give my sympathies to Buck's family & friends'.

I am grateful I got to see him perform last year. He put on an amazing show.
