Little Buck got his name from being simple and child- like. He plays the geetar and is a reel good singer, too. You’ll see or hear him singing lead on songs like “Rocky Top” and “Blue Moon of Kentucky.” This here feller is as good as they come. The young’uns just love him and he’s always got a present for all of his fel- low youngsters. You’ll always find him with a pocket full of marbles and a slingshot han- gin’ out his back pocket. His name might be Little Buck, but he’s got a big ole heart and it’s tender, so be careful and watch what you say to him.
