BUCK OWENS&ROSE MADDOX-WE'RE THE TALK OF THE TOWN


HERE ARE 2 DIFFERENT SEGMENTS OF BUCK AND ROSE BIOGRAPHIES TAKEN FROM WIKIPEDIA:Buck Owens died in his sleep of an apparent heart attack on March 25, 2006, only hours after performing at his Crystal Palace restaurant, club and museum in Bakersfield. He had successfully recovered from oral cancer in the early 1990s, but had additional health problems near the end of the 1990s and the beginning of the 21st century, including pneumonia and a minor stroke suffered in 2004. These health problems had forced him to curtail his regular weekly performances with the Buckaroos at his Crystal Palace.The Los Angeles Times interviewed longtime Owens spokesman (and Buckaroos keyboard player) Jim Shaw, who said Owens "had come to the club early and had a chicken-fried steak dinner and bragged that it's his favorite meal." Afterwards, Owens told band members that he wasn't feeling well and was going to skip that night's performance. Shaw said a group of fans introduced themselves while Owens was preparing to drive home; when they told him that they had traveled from Oregon to hear him perform, Owens changed his mind and took the stage anyway.

Shaw recalled Owens telling the audience, "If somebody's come all that way, I'm gonna do the show and give it my best shot. I might groan and squeak, but I'll see what I can do." Shaw added, "So, he had his favorite meal, played a show and died in his sleep. We thought, that's not too bad."[6]

The front of the mausoleum where Owens is buried isinscribed "The Buck Owens Family" with the word's "Buck's Place" beneath.

His first wife, country singer Bonnie Owens, died just a month after Owens himself. His second wife was the fiddle soloist in his Hee Haw band, Janna Jae Greif. They were married for only a few days before she filed for divorce. Owens also had three sons: Buddy Alan (who charted several hits as a Capitol recording artist in the early 1970s), Michael and Johnny Owens.
Rose Maddox
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Roselea Arbana "Rose" Brogdon (August 15, 1925 in Boaz, Alabama - April 15, 1998 in Ashland, Oregon) was an American country singer/songwriter/fiddle player. She is referred to as "The Original Hillbilly Filly" and "The Grandmother of Rockabilly".

Maddox was the singer in the Maddox Brothers and Rose, often considered to be "the greatest hillbilly band of all time". In 1996 she was nominated for a Grammy award for her Arhoolie recording $35 and a Dream. Her life story and that of the band were told in the biography, Ramblin' Rose: The Life and Career of Rose Maddox by Jonny Whiteside. ISBN 0-8265-1269-0.

Have you ever heard Buddy Alan&Don Rich's record "Cowboy Convention" I uploaded it yesterday, it's kind of a rare record. Give it a listen if you have never heard it.

Great Track, Buck was one of the best, I saw him in the 60's in person in Toronto a few times, he had a lot of great songs.
