Thanks. Here's a quick version of how I had my "inside" to his secretary.
So I started coming to Nashville around 1990, with a friend from back home. There was this movie poster store, called Cinemonde(if memory serves). My buddy bought this HUGE Buck Owens poster(I can't remember what it was advertising, only that it was like 6' tall). My friend bought it for about $70. He did his homework, and got a hold of Buck's people in Bakersfield. He mailed it out there for Buck to sign. Buck fell in love with it, and wanted it for his Bakersfield club(Crystal Palace - again, if memory serves...I've never been there). Well of course my friend didn't want to give it up, but it WAS Buck asking! Well, they got online and searched and searched, and finally found a 2nd one! So they bought that one for Buck. Buck signed his and returned it, along with a bunch of Buck Owens/Crystal Palace swag. I remember a Crystal Palace watch, and there were several other things. Well, Buck's secretary was "Lou Ann", and that's how I was able to get in touch with him and his people.
