Scope and content
Studio portrait of one of a group of five musicians, ordered by Steve Turlis, owner of the Britannia Tavern at 1338 Pacific Ave. The musicians possibly played with country & western performer Buck Owens. Buck Owens lived in the Tacoma area from 1958-1960. He purchased a small radio station here and by 1959 he was hosting his own live TV Show over KTNT. The band most closely identified with Owens while in Washington is the Bar K Gang. The musician's shirt appears to be the same as the musicians pictured in D122455 images 12 & 6 wear.
