    “Carnegie Hall Concert with Buck Owens and His Buckaroos”—Buck Owens and His Buckaroos (1966) Added to the National Registry: 2013 Essay by Scott B. Bomar (guest post) * Original album Original label Buck Owens and His Buckaroos In the fall of 1965, Buck Owens was the biggest country star in the world. He was halfway through a string of sixteen consecutive #1 singles on the country chart in the industry-leading “Billboard” magazine, and had just been invited to appear at New York City’s prestigious Carnegie Hall. Already designated a National Historic Landmark, the esteemed venue had hosted Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninoff, Stravinsky, Gershwin, Bernstein, and Ellington. Owens recognized the honor of being asked, but instructed his manager, Jack McFadden, to decline the offer. “When they first started talking about it, it scared me to death,” he admitted in a 1967 radio interview with Bill Thompson. Buck was worried the Manhattan audience wouldn’t be interested in his music, and he wanted to avoid the embarrassment of unsold tickets. McFadden pushed him to reconsider. When Ken Nelson, Owens’ producer at Capitol Records, suggested they record the performance and release it as his first live album, Buck finally conceded. Buck Owens’ journey to the top of the charts and the top of the bill at the most revered concert hall in the United States began in Sherman, Texas, where he was born Alvis Edgar Owens, Junior in 1929. By 1937, the Owens family was headed for a new life in California, but they wound up settling in Mesa, Arizona, when a broken trailer hitch derailed their plan.

  • Great Instrumental
    I grew up during the heyday of pop instrumental music in the 1950s and the 1960s (there were 30 instrumental hits in the Top 40 in 1961), and I would listen to the radio faithfully for the 30 seconds before the hourly news when they would play instrumentals (however the first 45’s I bought were vocals: Bimbo by Jim Reeves in 1954, The Ballad of Davy Crockett with the flip side Farewell by Fess Parker in 1955, and Sixteen Tons by Tennessee Ernie Ford in 1956). I also listened to my Dad’s 78s, and my favorite song of those was Raymond Scott’s Powerhouse from 1937 (which was often heard in Warner Bros. cartoons). and to records that my friends had, and that their parents had - artists such as: (This is not meant to be a complete or definitive list of the music of these artists, or a definitive list of instrumental artists – rather it is just a list of many of the instrumental songs I heard and loved when I was growing up - therefore this list just goes up to the early 1970s): Floyd Cramer (Last Date and On the Rebound and Let’s Go and Hot Pepper and Flip Flop & Bob and The First Hurt and Fancy Pants and Shrum and All Keyed Up and San Antonio Rose and [These Are] The Young Years and What’d I Say and Java and How High the Moon), The Ventures (Walk Don't Run and Walk Don’t Run ‘64 and Perfidia and Ram-Bunk-Shush and Diamond Head and The Cruel Sea and Hawaii Five-O and Oh Pretty Woman and Go and Pedal Pusher and Tall Cool One and Slaughter on Tenth Avenue), Booker T.

  • Mme. Brignaudy in the Bakersfield Tenderloin
    Historic Bakersfield & Kern County, California www.gilbertgia.com Mme. Brignaudy In The Bakersfield Tenderloin 1905-1933 By Gilbert Gia Copyright © Gilbert Gia, 2010, Bakersfield, California arie-Térèse Brignaudy, 35, arrived in Bakersfield in M1895 with experience and savvy, and for the next 10 years she was a legitimate businesswoman, property owner, and a purveyor of prostitutes. 1 She soon made important, community friends. John Bailey, president of the Bakersfield City Council, was one, and another was a vice operator named Mme. Louise de Yough.2 By 1907 Mme. Brignaudy operated the Bowling Alley Saloon,3 its 17 cribs in the back,4 and a row of apartments that she leased near the corner of 19thand R.5 After the fire of 1907 that destroyed Mayor John Bailey's Cosmopolitan Hotel, Brignaudy www.gilbertgia.com p 1 of 75 bought the property and built a small hotel.6 As early as 1882 Bakersfield was synonymous with gamblers, sportsmen, and dance halls. 7 By 1890 the population had grown to 2,000, but in 1900 it reached more 4,800 and the newly incorporated city then encompassed 3-3/4 sq miles.8 From its founding in the mid-1860s, the community taxed gambling houses and saloons, but never prostitution. After incorporation in 1898, ordinances veiled the public face of prostitution but they were not effective until passage of the California Red-Light Abatement Act of 1913. When Brignaudy came to Bakersfield prostitution was a legal, street-level trade, but as years passed she saw it change into a second- story, clandestine business.
