My mom would go down to the Rainbow Gardens every Saturday night to dance and listen to the live singers. That's where Buck was making his big break, his first wife, Bonnie, was a waitress there (my dad remembers her working there). Years later he bought the place and renamed it The Crystal Garden or something like that. That was the same place where my mom was going inside and this guy all dressed up in a western outfit and sequins was outside and asked her to go in and dance. She thought he had to be a hick cause of the way he dressed so she said no. Turns out it was Marty Robbins.
