    Tommy Collins ( Leonard Ray Sipes ) was one of the main influences for Merle
    Haggard. Merle's song "Leonard " is a tribute to his life long friend. Don Rich
    ( Donald Eugene Ulrich ) was originally the fiddle player for The Buckaroos with
    Buck on lead guitar. Buck taught Don how to play and "Act Naturally" was the first
    song Don took over lead guitar duties and as musical director of the band.

      @GeorgiaBoy1961 3 года назад +6

      @ 24klc67: You know, that's just about right. You don't overcome a loss like that, not as tight as those two guys were, personally and professionally. Don was just so integral to the Buck Owens sound! It hurt the Buckaroos, too, because when Don was alive, they were one of the tightest bands in country music.
      About the only comparable loss I can think of off hand would be when the Allman Brothers lost Duane Allman and Berry Oakley, within a year or so. Like Buck Owens, they carried on but were never the same. Oh, and Doc Watson losing his son and duet partner, Merle, to a farming accident in the mid-1980s. Doc soldiered on for years after that, but - even as great as he was -never found a real replacement for Merle.

      I love Buck Owens, Don Rich and the rest of the Buckaroos, even though I was just a kid when they were at their peak. A contemporary band that reminds me of them is Marty Stuart and The Fabulous Superlatives. I've seen them a few times live. I really like their lead guitar player, Kenny Vaughan. He does not have Don Rich's voice, but he is a superlative guitar player. These guys are keeping alive the kind of music Buck and Don and the Buckaroos did. Real country with some western swing to it.

    So cute. My Mother had to yell at Buck when he would come over to the house to see my Uncle Jerry. Buck would scream down the street in his car and pull in to the yard. Mom was so scared he would hit us kids, so she spanked him. He was a big boy then. Buck, Bill Woods and Red Simpson would sit on the porch singing and picking there guitar. Mom walked to school with them back then. Daddy and my Uncles would go listen to them at the Blackboard every weekend. How funny that back then they were just a few annoying guys. ha ha. Then my Uncle Jerry brought his friends over to meet my Mother, Dan Blocker. :) Loved to see him on stage at the Crystal Palace but he had some bad language. We talked to Buck before his death and asked him if he made things right with the Lord. he didn't answer but he said he knows. The last time I saw him was at Hodel's Restaurant here in town. He passed away a few weeks later. Beautiful Funeral...

    Makes me kind of sad how America has lost it's culture. Funny how back in the 60's, other countries would say Americans had no culture because they didn't have classic forms of art, opera or theater. Yet, looking back from todays point of view, we see how progressive the 60's really were with the diverse musical tastes, stage shows like Cats and Hair, and even things like the automobile culture and baseball and football.
    Somehow, we've lost sight of all of what made that time and the country great. Today, it's all about money, sex and booze. There's nothing on TV, sports are so ridiculously commercialized that nobody cares anymore and culture? Music? A pale comparison to just a few years ago.
    Makes me sad.

      Harold Lloyd Look man, I feel the same way. Although, what you are describing is only the surface of popular media. There is a ton of great music out there, you just have to go and find it( like digging for gold in a pile of shit). The reason why this music resonates with us is because there classics and back then a lot of them we're just as under appreciated. Just imagine which songs will last longer, those which have historic values, emotional aspects, and narratives that are still relatable today or the songs that focus on money, sex, and booze? As the shit is washed out, the gold will become ever more clear.

Check out one of the Mathis Bros Furniture shows. They’re cutting up between each song and having fun. Nothing scripted. Amazing. I never get tired seeing of them.

    A little back story on Buck's records, specifically the 45's that went out for radio broadcast. Radio was all AM back in the day, pretty much Lo-Fi compared to FM and what we're used to now. Buck and his engineers equalized his broadcast records so that the sound would have a lot more clarity by adding treble and upper midrange beyond what one normally would for a hi-fi recording. Think about it... first time you heard "Tiger By The Tail" or "Act Naturally" on the AM car radio, remember how the sound jumped out?

    I was 11 years old when this show debuted.
    My father loved this stuff and of course as a 1960's 11 year old that was looking toward Space (this of course was the middle of the Moon Shot Program) I whined when my dad made me watch this.
    I was more into Rock in Roll growing up.
    This and Porter Wagner was on. Saturday evenings if I remember correctly.
    HOWEVER, now that I am a LOT older and I did live in Nashville back in the late 1970's Country Music has grown on me.
    (I do have a fond memory of going to the Grand Ole' Opry BEFORE it was moved...1979 I believe was when we as a group went there)
    Watching this show now reminds me of a simpler time. It was clean good entertainment and honest fun.
    In fact I regularly listen to the Sat-Radio Country Music channels.
    Outlaw Country, Willie's Road House, Prime Country, and Bluegrass Country quite often.
    I still personally do not care for the 'New Country Music' channels. (Same goes for just about any of the 'New Rock' either)
    And I agree with Harold Lloyd's post. This IS American Culture.
    The one thing that still makes me laugh though is the outfits they wore.
    Yes, this was the beginning of Color TV and all of that but the Country Outfits still make me chuckle... LOL
    (As with just about everything in the 1960's...Loud Colors...)
    Still, I am thankful and grateful that this was a part of my life even though I did not appreciate it at the time...
