From the Blackboard, the Lucky Spot, Kern River, and the streets of Bakersfield, two country music giants get it all in perspective. Haggard tells about the art of songwriting and Buck Owens recalls how he developed his craft in the honky tonks. From a brilliant PBS special.

Awesome video! I can relate to most of your posts. My sister-n-law worked at the Lucky Spot and the Blackboard, and I've hitched a ride on the back of a cotton sack.

@richtogo My Lord, you might have been the one that was pickin cotton on the row next to me.
I went to just the same amount of schools. But life was good then, never locked our ole car's cause we all had the same ole beat up cars. Not afraid to stop on the side of the road and sleep where ever we could find a place to throw the mattress down and wake up at day lite. Cooked in a cast iron skillet on a fire uilld from sticks we could find. I was around Fresno & Bakersfield in 1940's.Were U 2

I was raised on the road working the crops, I went to 26 schools before I got out the sixth grade. I had a great life I didn't know there was any difference I thought everyone lived in cotton camp.

The BEST of the BEST.
Buck & The Hag.
All of Haggard's songs is a story of my life. I Lived in Oklahoma until 1939. Then daddy headed for the state of GOLD. Yeah Sure.!!!! We lived all around Bakersfield.
In those days we never locked our doors. But maybe that was because there was nothing worth taking. lol
