#TBT number 2: This is a REAL treat -- The first episode of the Buck Owens Show aired on the Ides of March 1966...over three years before Hee Haw. Those west coast cats had a GREAT take on Country music. Buck Owens, Merle Haggard, Wynn Stewart, Tony Booth...and on this show two of the most unsung California heroes of all...the great Don Rich (who was THE Buckaroo as far as Im concerned) and Tommy Collins...whose story Hags song Leonard told. Whether you like Country music or not you have to admit -- color TV was invented for the Country greats of that age. The California Jackets that Buck, Porter Wagoner and later Marty Stuart and Dwight Yoakum wore/wear made Nudie Cohn a zillionaire and made Manuel Cuevas a legend.
