No plans for today and we decided just to hang out. Bakersfield has a great history of music from defining country music to hard hitting rock. This is home to the "Bakersfield Sound" started by hometown legends Buck Owens and Merle Haggard. Buck Owens was much more than just a "Hee-Haw" star. The life of this music legend is celebrated at The Crystal Palace. This award winning restaurant, museum, and theatre is a lasting monument to his success. The palace regularly hosts today's popular country stars. The rock comes from a group called Korn, who began as a local metal based band called LAPD. Bakersfield continues to promote it's local talent on stages and clubs.
Even though we like country and honky tonk we decided to leave the music venues for the next time we come to town.
The weather has been great and we took a walk around the park tonight after dinner. The temperatures tonight are in the 50's and we hope the weather continues.
