KUZZ MARKS 10 YEARS SINCE BUCK OWENS’S PASSING

It was 10 years ago on March 25th that KUZZ founder and county music legend Buck Owens passed away.

Radio host Casey McBride says it’s still hard to talk losing him, but she says one of her favorite memories is an impromptu duet she got to sing with him.

Buck Owens died after a performance at the Crystal Palace, the Bakersfield restaurant and music hall he opened in 1996. He decided to step on stage that night after some fans said they drove several miles to see him. He was 76.
