George H. Buck Jr.

I knew George when he was owner of WCOS Radio in Columbia, SC. He bought the station and turned it into the most popular radio station in central South Carolina, competing with the entrenched WIS. George hired the best Disc Jockeys and Air Personalities, Woody Windham, Pete Noce, Mike Rast, Hunter Herring, and others, and allowed them the freedom to build their audiences and sponsors by appealing to the teen market, initially, and then expanding later to older folks.

Dear Nina,
My heart goes out to you for taking care of one of the greatest saviors of Classic Traditional Jazz.
I thank you personally for you gracious hospitality in your guest house and at the Palm Court. I loved watching George retrieve Lp's while he enthusiastically answered my questions as I read the notes on the back of a record jacket in the stacks.
Our other connection was listening to his recalling memories of his time in New Jersey.

MAY GOD BLESS MRS NINA,BO AND FAMILY FROM YOUR CAREGIVER CATHERINE.

all our thoughts will be with Nina and the whole family (from Boom Belgium)

My deepest sympathy to the entire Buck family. I will miss Me Buck's jazzology on Sunday mornings. He kept the jazz music alive withe his vast resources and knowledge. God bless you George.

George Buck showed faith in me and my band and released a CD of us. Thankyou George. He was a gentle man and a force to be reckoned with in the Jazz world. He will be sadly missed. My sympathies to the family. RIP George.

All my sympathie to Nina and his family. Since 1992 we came to the Palm Court (french friends from Bordeaux). Many french musicians miss George Buck.

When I came visited New Orleans, George was one of the first friends I wanted to meet. I admired the way he handled his Business and his amazing knowledge about Music. I will miss his "bow wow" he always shouted when I heard that Doggy Hund was there. Rest in peace, dear George! (And when You arrive in heaven, please say hello to all our musicians who are already there.-
