Although often denigrated by the cognoscenti… reviled by hipsters… and scorned by critics… HEE HAW, the long-running country music and comedy program which debuted on CBS and ran for decades on that network and in syndication, was responsible for airing some of the greatest names from the world of country music.  Among its regular cast members was Buck Owens, the great guitarist who changed the face of country music — and influenced the Beatles in the process.  On this episode of NOTES, we tell the story of the Baron of Bakersfield.
