Annie DeTemple (Old Man Markley)

SPB: What is the best Buck Owens song?

DeTemple: Well, my favorite Buck Owens song is "Act Naturally."  I'm not just saying that because The Beatles covered it, but it goes to show that they probably thought it was the best Buck Owens song, too!  I love “Act Naturally” for its catchy melody.  If you’re ever in the San Fernando, you might find Johnny and I singing it as a duet at a local karaoke bar!
