Yeah, so it hit me pretty bad.
Would you mind telling us if it's not too painful how you found out he passed away?
[N] Well, actually, I have a cabin up in the mountains here.
I was up there on my kids were pretty young still.
In fact, I adopted a little girl from China that summer right after that.
Oh, how is she doing, by the way?
That's the one that ended the accident.
She's doing fine.
She's doing really good.
You know what?
All little kids are very resilient.
They break their arm or do whatever they do, and it's like they're back out doing the same
thing a little later on.
But she's fine.
Thanks for asking.
[Abm] Oh, you're welcome.
Anyway, [Ab] I was up in the mountains, and my brother called me at about 5.30 or 6 o'clock
in the morning.
I answered the phone, and I knew that he wouldn't be calling me.
I can't tell what I thought, but I knew he wouldn't be calling me with good news at 6
o'clock in the morning.
So he and I talked on the phone for 15 or 20 minutes and [D] cried on each other's shoulder
over the phone.
It was a quite sad time because it was quite unexpected.
He was in pretty decent health.
He had a small heart issue that we really didn't think would ever amount to anything.
Is that what really ended up?
Yeah.
I think he had a stroke or a heart attack in the middle of the night.
He worked the night before.
I remember I heard it came over the – I don't know if I saw it on the TV or the
radio, but you know how stuff sort of trickles out little by little [G] after something happens
[Ab] with somebody important like that.
Your dad certainly was.
They had talked to some of the people that were there that night, and they said that
they had driven down from – I don't know if it was Oregon or Washington, but they drove
a long way.
Your dad had decided he wasn't feeling well.
He wasn't going to do the show tonight.
He was just going to – you know, after he ate dinner.
He met them in the parking lot, and they talked to him and told him, I guess, where they came from.
He said, well, if they came that far, I'm going to go in and try to do a show.
I just thought that showed just what kind of man he was right there and his [F] character.
Well, that's a great point because that is a true story.
You're absolutely right about that.
He was a kind man.
He was very generous and kind, very thoughtful.
When he found out that – it was actually a bus that had driven down, and their main
reason for coming to California was to come to Bakersfield and see Buck Owens.
They got there late.
I think they got there – he was going to leave.
It was just before 7.30. when he was supposed to go on, and they were just filing in. He found out about it, and he told his people that were going to give him his ride home and stuff. He said, you know, I've got to go in. I can't let these people drive all that way and expect them to see me. Now they've seen me, and surely I can raise up enough energy to go do a show tonight. [N] He did. He went out and he performed for about an hour, an hour and fifteen minutes, did a good show, and went home and died that night in his sleep. I remember hearing later on that he ended up having his favorite dinner that night. He liked the chicken fried steak and the french fries. So he had his favorite meal, and he performed a show. It was sort of a good way to go, I guess, if you have to go. I talk a lot about that. I don't know where you heard that, but that's a story that I sort of tell on stage occasionally, that he did. He had everything that he wanted. He performed. That was something he enjoyed probably as much as anything in the world, performing for people who appreciated his music and appreciated what he was doing and all the hard work that he had put into it. He had the meal that he loved so much. He loved the chicken fried steak. When I go over there, my wife lets me have two a year. So that's about it. Then he went home and got in bed, had a night's sleep, and God took him at that time. I heard you say it in an interview or something, or maybe one of the band members. I don't remember exactly where I heard it, but I remember hearing [G] that story. I thought [E] I'd mention that because it does seem kind of poetic in a way for someone that lived his life by poetry in his former song. I [A] wanted to ask you this, buddy. I've heard that the [Gb] Crystal Palace has a recording of every show that Buck ever gave there. I'm not sure if that's true or not, but if it is, I'm wondering, will these ever be released, any of these live recordings? I don't know. I don't know if they recorded every one or not, but we have recording facilities. I don't know if they're all still available. That [F] might be something that the foundation The Crystal Palace is owned by the Buck Owens American Music Foundation. It's really to promote country music, Buck Owens music, Bakersfield sound music. At one point, maybe they will put a collection of the DVDs of some of him singing, occasionally when he's having a really great night, and put them out for sale somewhere. I'm not sure. This is sort of where I was leading up to this. I'm not sure exactly how they I don't know if they got smuggled out or what, a former employee, but there are about five or six YouTube videos of your dad performing from the Crystal Palace. They're not [E] just cell phone quality or They do have them, and they did sell them occasionally. I just [Ab] don't know if they sell them on a regular basis. I know they used to. I don't know if they still do or not. Same with mine. You can buy them, like a few You go to the show, and you like what you saw, you had fun, and whatever. Then you can, half hour later, they'll usually have them for sale. Oh, from the same show? Yeah. Oh, I didn't So maybe this was Oh, so that explains sort of how someone could have had a copy [F] from like 2004, and they might not have it now. Yeah, that's where they got them. I didn't realize that. They did sell them on an occasional basis. I don't think they put every one of them out there. They may put one a month or something out, just so they'll be a little different. Yeah, because he I know that he had some trouble with throat cancer, and he did have a stroke at one point, but he could still sing, just as [N] Or a small stroke. He could still sing. I mean, his voice was just wonderful. And he used to take requests. I understand. He said that we know I heard part of the clip was, he said, we know a lot of songs between us. This isn't like a normal show. If we know the song, we'll sing it for you. So he did this great version of He Stopped Loving Her Today. Someone in the comments wrote, I didn't think anyone but George could sing that song, but Buck Owens proved me wrong. Oh, that's great. Yeah, so that was just Because he didn't go back into the studio after the early 90s, did he? Or is there some sort of secret project out there that's hidden? No. No. He had a small studio at his house. And there are a couple of things that were done, that he had voice tracks on, that aren't complete. And at one point, maybe we'll try to put some of them together in a collection and put those out for sale. Now, Buddy, you've been really great to spend I know we've gone way over the hour that I told you that we'd probably do. I just enjoyed talking with you so much. But I wanted to, before we let you go and we get off the air, I wanted to ask you about how you started to perform back at the Crystal Palace. Because I understand that you never actually performed there as a featured act before you're dead. No, that is true. I went there a few times. Like I said, I lived in Arizona. And rarely did we go to Bakersfield.
Would you mind telling us if it's not too painful how you found out he passed away?
