Were he alive one could imagine Buck Owens being in the church and bestowing his blessings upon the most favored son and heir apparent of the Bakersfield Sound, the Dwight Yoakam with whom he one dueted on “Streets of Bakersfield.” There was that time Owens called Yoakam’s telephone number and got the singer’s answering machine, only to hear himself singing the words of “Down On The Corner of Love” played back to him. This summer the world welcomed Dalton Loren Yoakam, the son of Dwight Yoakam and his wife Emily Joyce.Įarlier this year, the longtime couple exchanged their vows in a private ceremony in Santa Monica in front of ten people, all of whom were socially distanced and sitting appropriately six feet apart.
You might have missed it but there was some good news recently.
