We want to thank the BRs and their management for the extra swanky seats they provided us at Buck Owens' Crystal Palace. Heck, even Shaw Wilson came and sat with us to watch Buck for awhile.Buck Owens' Crystal Palace, Bakersfield, California -- May 4, 2001 |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Here are the guys on the stage of the Crystal Palace in Bakersfield. Buck Owens had already finished his really cool set. It is amazing that Buck continues to put on such a professional show -- in spite of his illnesses and cantankerous nature! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Yep, for those of you ladies out there wondering, it IS Shaw's waterglass from our table. This is something you won't see on any other website -- and aren't you glad!? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Here's a shot of the full stage from our swanky table. As you can see, there are photos of Chuck everywhere. I might even describe this as Chuck Wallpaper.
He's probably singing "Fool of the Century." Does anyone read lips out there? |

The owners, staff and guiding forces behind Wacky Productions Unlimited were thorougly entertained by the music of BR549.
Here, Arigon and Janet enjoy a rare night off. It's nice to not have to do bills and watch "Design at Nine" at the same time! |

| A great view of Donnie's LOUD shirt. It was so groovy -- and looked like something somebody in "Almost Famous" should have worn.
Do you think he knows Cameron Crowe? We know he knows Kate Hudson! |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Chuck looks at the Professor, Don Herron for music cues. If there was a comparable musical director to Donnie....who would that possibly be?
If you've got to follow somebody, follow Donnie! |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
Smilin' Jay does his thing at the Crystal Palace. He's looking a little somber in his green satin.
Think, Jay, think! Concentrate, Jay, concentrate! |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| All's well in Jay's world. Smile, Jay smile! Now, get back to work! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| IS IT CHUCK OR A MYSTERY GUEST? YOU DECIDE!
While Donnie and Gary go about the show, a stranger walked onstage at the Crystal Palace. Kinda looks like Dwight Yoakam or maybe that guy from Two Tons of Steel...or it could just be Chuck in shaped straw hat. Hmm.... |
 |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The mystery guest sang quite a few songs, like "Little Ways," "Suspicous Minds," "Ain't That Lonely Yet" and finally, "Crazy Little Thing Called Love."
Oops...that was another show! Play on Chuck, with your bad hat! |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| The back of BR549.....BR549 are back....Behind the music with BR549 -- these are some of the corny captions that were considered.
We could have even said, "Oh my god, Becky -- look at their butts!" For those of you worried about their current musical direction, you can clearly see that there are no strings attached! Just like N*SYNC. Although, we here at Gay's Pages prefer the Backstreet Boys, cos' we're so old school. |

 |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Smilin' Jay and Chuck do their thing onstage. They really love their jobs -- and it shows on their smiling faces! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| That there is Odessa -- taking pictures of the band. I'm surprised she didn't notice the lady in the bear costume taking pictures of her! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Gay, Jay and Arigon pose for photos in the lobby of the Crystal Palace. Arigon made all the guys put funny things on her spare ticket and groovy license plate holder. Jay signed it -- "Who Shot JR?" and Donnie signed it -- "Whatcha talking about Willis?"
Shaw signed it -- "Do Fries Go With That Shake?" Yes, really! |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The Crystal Palace sponsored a "Shaw Wilson Look-a-Like" competition -- and here Shaw poses with the winner.
He is Eye B. Wooden of Buttonwillow, California. Wooden was awarded an autographed CD, plus tickets to an upcoming performance of the Central California Puppeteers. We think Wooden's moustache is a little heavy. However, Shaw was happy to meet with him and talk about his carving project. |
 |

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Shaw's double -- NOT! Actually, there are these goofy wooden statues in the lobby of the Crystal Palace.
Shaw is always up for a gag -- and he so graciously posed with one of the figures. Does this mean Shaw does lap dances? Hmm.... |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Well, that's what happened. There have been some other road trips since this little jaunt back in May 2001 -- and hopefully there will be more photos in the near future. Until then......
