A few months ago, Omnivore Recordings released a Buck Owens CD entitled "Live" at the White House (...And in Space). In addition to including a live show recorded at the White House in September 1968, the CD also includes a special program they recorded for the Apollo 16 crew.In early 1972 (the year the actual “Live” At The White House album was released), Buck received another call from his country. This time his mission was to provide music to go to space aboard Apollo 16. A half-hour show was recorded by Buck and his band at his Bakersfield studios. Astronaut Charlie Duke recollects that the crew enjoyed listening to the tapes in space: “It was really fun—we played those tapes a lot during our flight to and from the Moon.” Now, for the first time, the rest of us Earthbound folks have a chance to hear what those on Apollo 16 heard in space nearly 40 years ago! |

Hey, that's a fine old country music CD! I downloaded it right now on Amazon and I real enjoy it. I think I am going to play it all day long and I will feel like I were in space together with John, Charlie and Ken... |

As both a space fan and a Buck Owens fan, that is super-cool. I think I just saw some of what my next paycheck will be buying.... | |
