Please listen to the early Captiol recordings of Buck Owens & the Buckaroos; before HeeHaw.....I find those recordings are far superior than the things he did on the TV show....As far as musicianship Buck was up there with the others. He was aleader....songwriter.......singer.....and guitar player ...great writer...."Where Does The Good Times Go?"......"Open Up You Heart", and many others....Frank of Toledo
