6GUN DUSKDEVILS FATTKATT... passing of buck

the cast has changed a bit for the sat april 8 show (details below).. maybe me & fattkatt can sing a duet ("solamente una vez"? "my heart skips a beat"?)... i love singing harmony on those kind of songs. below's a dumb pic of me, a good one of him, from a while back -- one of those "i'll hold the camera, it'll come out ok" things where a person (well, me) comes out looking quite stupid & sappy. que lastima... relatedly, since fattkatt sings all the time over at the crystal palace, my talented little sis just illustrated a book about buck owens (who passed away just this morning... found out just now as i already was typing, in an ironic moment). it's good to see her get some recognition for her hard work... info here: www.bcsd.com. MY FAVORITE 15 BUCK OWENS SONGS: 1) above and beyond, 2) under your spell again, 3) my heart skips a beat, 4) love's gonna live here, 5) hello trouble, 6) loose talk, 7) foolin' around, 8) excuse me (i think i've got a heartache), 9) together again, 10) A-11, 11) second fiddle, 12) i don't care (if the sun don't shine), 13) under the influence of love, 14) don't let her know, 15) act naturally... me & a certain darling from the far past used to drive around & sing & sing those buck & don parts; what a nice memory. i hope this fellow's OK today, with news of mister o's passing...

It is truly a sad for Bakersfield and country music.

That is great about your sister hard work paying off. I guess I will get to see you play for the frist time in april.

i cant belive buck is gone, he was a great musician and a great human being. he was so cool the way he called country "american music." I opened for him a few times and he was always so down to earth and humble and such a gentleman. rest in peace sweet cowboy.

Here's another opinion of Buck Owens, just one month before he passed. Quite interesting. http://bakersfield.typepad.com/entertainment/2006/02/bucks_a_great_g.html
