This day in 1971 - Buck Owens recorded "Ruby"  at the Buck Owens Studios, in Bakersfield, California. The song was written by mountain singer Cousin Emmy, and the session personnel included Buck Owens-vocal; Don Rich-rhythm guitar & harmony vocal: Ron Jackson-banjo; Jim Shaw-piano; Doyle Curtsinger-bass & harmony vocal; Jerry Wiggins-drums. The song was released as a single by Capitol on April 12, 1971, and peaked inside Billboard's top 5. It was Bucko's 46th charted song and was on the charts for 17 weeks.

"Q & A" is a by-product of our weekly "Country Music Classics" newsletter. NO - it does NOT replace the weekly newsletter--it is simply an addition--due to the large number of questions received each week that I do not have room for in the weekly newsletter. Subscribers receive BOTH the weekly newsletter and the daily Q & A---because I do not maintain two separate mailing lists.  If you wish to unsubscribe- send a blank email to:
