Goodbye, Buck

I grew up watching Buck Owens on Hee-Haw. Silly show, but a great showman and musician. Buck died on March 25, and his family, friends and fanssaid their goodbyes this weekend.

Owens influenced the sound of country music from outside of Nashville with such hits as "Act Naturally" and more than 20 No. 1 records, most released from the mid-1960s to the mid-1970s. He also brought the genre to TV on the long-running show "Hee Haw."

Buck certainly had a unique sound and did a lot for country music. Godspeed, Buck.
