"The first truth is that the liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic state itself. That, in its essence, is fascism — ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or by any other controlling private power. ”

I've been thinking about Buck Owens today
and then I saw a clip from the Hee Haw marathon, where Bakersfield's greatest citizen was duetting with Ray Charles on "It's Crying Time Again". I tried to find it on YouTube, but no luck.
So, you'll have to accept these videos of Buck, Don Rich and the Buckaroos.
I saw Buck play once at Loretta Lynns ranch off of I-40 at Hurricane Mills. Wow what a show! Buck,Hank and George Jones are what country music is suppose to be. There's way to many "pretty boy" types out there today.

I think about Buck once a day, every day, all day long. To borrow from Bill Anderson (by way of Connie Smith).
