Another Legend Lost
http://entertainment.tv.yahoo.com/entnews/ap/20060325/114331686000.html
If you've read my "Papa posts" then you already know that my grandfather used to play with Buck Owens. Well, we lost Papa several years ago - '99 or 2000, I can never remember exactly. For the most part I've adjusted, but every now and then it hits me again. When Chet Atkins died. When Johnny Cash died. And now, Buck Owens has passed on as well. All I can think is, as sad as it is, I bet he and Papa are already getting reacquainted and they're up there with a couple of guitars, jamming and laughing and irritating the living hell out of my grandmother. Tex Ritter is probably with them, too, and maybe even Johnny and Chet.
There's some might fine pickin' and grinnin' goin' on in Heaven today. Close your eyes and listen, you might even hear it. I sure do.
"Mama goes where Papa goes, or Papa don't go out tonight..."
