Farewell, Buck Owens

Country legend Buck Owens (at the left in the photo here) died today at the age of 76. Although I don't remember much of Buck's work, I do remember him as the co-host (with Roy Clark) of Hee Haw, which was a staple of Saturday nights when I was growing up on the farm in Pennsylvania.

In 1992, Owens said: "I'd like to be remembered as a guy that came along and did his music, did his best and showed up on time, clean and ready to do the job, wrote a few songs and had a hell of a time."
