Buck Owens Crystal Palace Teaser

Not too long ago, I drove though Bakersfield and made a quick stop at Buck Owens Crystal Palace. It is a place that honors the great musician Buck Owens who is from Bakersfield. The place is part museum, part restaurant and part performance venue. The reason I am saying that this is a teaser is that I got there during a period when it was closed and was only allowed to see the front area which houses a bunch of memorabilia:

Johnny Cash

Willie Nelson

I can't wait to be able to get down and see the whole Buck Owens Crystal Palace in the near future:
