I just heard that the great Tom Brumley of The Buckaroos passed away yesterday.  What a terrible loss.  That leaves one remaining original member of the Buckaroos, Willie Cantu (drummer). 

I was planning on writing a tribute of sorts, one that attempted to put into words the way Buck, Don, Doyle and Tom have influenced my music as well as the rest of Country Music... but we'll all probably see plenty of those in the coming weeks written by more eloquent writers than I!  Then I thought, what better way can I pay tribute, than to just say thanks for the great music, the inspiration, the musical vision and then imagine the four of them in Honky Tonk Heaven sitting down in a circle, instruments in hand, wide smiles in grand Buckaroo fashion... kickin' off "Together Again"!  One, Two, Three, Four....
