Buck and Don Rich were, are the best country music ever. No musicians today will ever top these guys.

[@rickcurtis2983]

You can see Buck's expression change as soon as Don starts his great harmony...I wish they could've worked together longer.

[@TheFarmerfitz]

I think everyone thought that.

[@patriciajrs46]

I miss Don's voice so much. And his smile, too. He was electric. Beautiful.

[@roadrunner3867]

yes he was

[@catemaza7800]

A-mazing! So much talent in that band. The singing and musicianship Buck and The Buckaroos had outshines everyone in country today. My opinion of course. Thank you so much for posting this.

[@wilsoncaddis]

so classic and one of my favorites, I miss both of these great musicians...but thanks to the net we can listen anytime....

Are you worried, anxious about anything? I encourage you to pray this prayer aloud.
In the name of Jesus, I cast the whole of my care [all my anxieties, all my worries, all my concerns for ________, my future, my family, once and for all] on You, for You care for me affectionately and care about me watchfully. Amen(

Love this. Don's guitar playing is why I play guitar. I've spent a lifetime learning his licks and songs. I wonder what ever happened to the telecaster he played on the Jimmy Dean shows - before he and Buck got the sparkle telecasters from Fender? Great video - a treasure for sure!

Two legends 💜

Good music i remember

[@BobbyJamesVisuals]

Look how worn that fretboard already is!

[@leemandeville5570]

Perfect

[@wideawakenotwoke6178]

Wonderful ❤

[@flybob63]

Don was so great on that Tele. They often tuned down 1/2 step for a deeper tone. Sounds like they did it here.

[@user-qw1et7yo4m]

Yes and he was still using strings with a wound 3rd string then too. They were probably 12-52's or a similar gauge.

[@reddeserted13]

Great quality video! Love seeing these 🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐

[@johnnyx9892]

I don't think I ever saw Buck playing a 12 string.

[@TheFarmerfitz]

Well, yer seeing it now. 😂

[@worshipGod001]

Does anyone notice his tie is all crooked ❤😂

[@homelandsecuritystagesmass507]

I'd love to know where Don's Fender Telecaster seen here is today.

[@misskj7773]

Marty Stuart is in possession of Don’s silver telecaster. Story goes that Buck gave it to Marty.

[@reesecolbo3442]

it was given to Marty Stuart

[@donrichandthebuckaroos]

@@homelandsecuritystagesmass507 This Tele was given to a friend of the family.

[@cameronduff884]

...I think the host is Jimmy Dean of sausage fame...😊

[@donrichandthebuckaroos]

@@cameronduff884 Correct!
