I used to abhor country music, especially the "old school" stuff of Fannie Fargo and Conway Twitty. But there is a new classic country station I listen to and let me tell you, Buck Owens is the man. I only knew him from HEE HAW but he has some amazing songs.

I believe the response I'm looking for is "Duh".

There is a Buck Owens birthday bash in Austin each year, they've been having it for a while now.
Several current bands/artists influenced by Buck play it, one is the Derailers. Until his health declined I believe he used to attend it as well.
I think this year it is on August 11th at the Continental Club.

Hee Haw actually had some very talented musicians on that show. It was a unique blend of T&A, comedy, and country music.
"Fannie" Fargo??? Do you mean Donna Fargo?
There's a giant doing cartwheels, a statue wearing high heels.
Look at all the happy creatures dancing on the lawn.
A dinosaur Victrola listening to Buck Owens.
Doo, doo, doo, lookin' out my back door.

I'd highly recommend to you the Devil's Rejects soundtrack.
I have a 3 CD Buck Owens Box set. It's greatness.
My favorite is "Act Naturally" with Ringo Starr.

When looking for an example of a female to associate with "old school" country, Donna Fargo is not the first name that should come to mind.

I would think it would be Ma Carter.
Loretta Lynn, Tammy Wynette, Patsy Cline, Jessie Coulter...
Yeah, those without question. Maybe even Dolly Parton, Emmylou Harris, or Tanya Tucker.
Yes, Donna Fargo, not Fannie. I guess I got her mixed up with Fannie Flagg for some reason.
I guess what I meant by "old school" were those one-hit wonder country musicians from the 60's with the bad hair. Donna Fargo, the blind girl who played piano (see? I'm new to classic country), Vikki Lawrence, etc.

Do you mean Vikki Carr???
Vicki Lawrence was definitely a one-hit wonder. Oh, but what a hit that was...

Yeah, she was a one hit country singer, then she goes on to be a comedian. Strange combo.
