Thread Name: Origins: Ballad of the Cowpuncher (Genny Haley)
Subject: RE: Origins: Ballad of the Cowpuncher (Genny Haley
Genny was in Any Old Time in the 1970s; I know she wrote Cowpuncher before that. She has also written some fantastic more serious songs. "Sad But True" which was written in the late 1970s was recorded by Laurie Lewis on the "Blue Rose" album, and again by Kate Brislin (also of Any Old Time) and Katie Moffat on their "Sleepless Nights".

Genny is not doing too much music these days but occasionally emerges from near Chico where she lives and works as a family therapist, and raises llamas. We had an Any Old Time String Band reunion last year and everyone agreed that she was the star!
