Went there again for my daughter's 21st birthday and had a footstompin' good time listening to Buddy Owens (Bucks son) and most of the orginal Buckaroos band. And yes, since you're wondering, there is a red, white and blue Ovation in one of the showcases. Can't see what model. Also of interest, there is a G&L telecaster noted as "the last guitar Leo Fender built before he died" which was presented to Buck. If you're ever in town, this is a great dinner house with big dance floor and a great show almost every weekend (saw the Dixie Chicks there before they were big and controversial), but be sure to make reservations.
