Been home, sick, watchin the Buck Owens Ranch Show tapes.
In one show a pretty blonde named Fay Hardin sings a duet with Bob Morris (pseudo-Cajun "Fishin' on the Mississippi"), and a solo number. A google search found she and bob were voted best new duo of 1967 in the ACM awards. Not another hit (internet or otherwise)
anybody got any info on her?
recordings; chucked it all to become a nun; joined the SLA and helped Patty Hearst reload; died in a car crash; happily married grandmother of 10? |

| If I remember correctly, Faye Hardin was married to Bob Morris. I don't know a lot about her, but Bob used to call her my "hairy legged old lady". Bob wrote the instrumental Buckaroo for Buck Owens, BTW. I think my memory's beginning to fail me. I hadn't thought of those folks for years. I think Bob has passed away, don't know about Faye. Ask Jason Odd, I know he would have a lot better information. [This message was edited by Jim Bob Sedgwick on 09 November 2002 at 07:08 PM.] |

they never had any hits, but stayed together.
Sometime in the 1970s Bob had a falling out with Buck Owens and split the whole Californian scene some time later. I don't think they ever tried the Nashville route.
By the late 1970s they were somewhere in the Southwest, even cut a really obscure LP together circa 1979.
Bob died of cancer in 1981, I don't think Faye performed or recorded much after that.
They were also part of Buck Owens roadshow, and possibly Merle Haggard's in the late 1960s. |
