and The Buckaroos. Co-Star of the “Hee-Haw’»’ show. Buck Owens says he will bring a “fun show with music” to the fair. The popular CBS-TV and Capitol Records recording star has sold well over three million records and albums as one of the nation’s most popular country singers. “What Hee Haw is," explains Owens, “is just a country' ‘Laughin’ with a ‘Beverly Hillbillies' motif. It’s a spoof of what life is like for a lot of hillbillies. But you notice we’re careful to present the music dead serious, just like

we’ve always done.” Owens apparently does not feel the “hayseed image” of the show interferes with his hope of “putting country music in the right perspective.” The hillbilly image has diminished considerably, he says. Owens says the reason for the universal popularity of country music is its melding of the “rock beat that everybody has today,” and he thinks, by and large, that the new electronically-charged brand “makes far better music over all than the old stuff.” Buck Owens has made several tours of Japan, Europe and recently the Scandinavian countries.
