Bill moved to Atlanta and continued his music writing and producing mainly with R&B artist. He was my Dad's youngest brother. He and Edwina divorced and he remarried a couple of times and died in 1997 in Dallas Georgia. Bill's brother William "Glenn" Haney was married to Edwina's sister Betty Cockrell and they also moved to the Atlanta area (Marietta). Bill had a daughter from his second marriage who currently lives in Alabama. One of the artist he worked with was Arthur Alexander who has the distinction of being the only singer/songwriter to have one of his songs covered by the Beatles, Rolling Stones and Bob Dylan. Alexander's early success with Rick Hall and Fame Records paved the way to Mussel Shoals becoming a mecca for R&B and County Rock recording.

They separated and divorced and Bill moved somewhere (Nashville? Columbia? Atlanta?) I heard different places but know he played guitar, fiddle and mandolin and recorded in Myrtle Beach. I have the Zassoff Boys LP and Don Reno signed the back with "Good luck Cus!". The BILL I know rode a big Harley motorcycle and personally handed me his first 45 recording when I was about 7-8 years old in Clyde, NC. I would love to be able to separate out the "Bill Haney" information but it seems to be incredibly entangled....he was in the Army, went to Vietnam and came out SFC.SLeatherwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07002231551130154108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6469193780924614928.post-63093070805210150692020-02-24T23:42:16.239+01:002020-02-24T23:42:16.239+01:00Who was Edwina?

I remember sitting in the yard on summer nights listening to Bill (and others) play music. I was amazed!!! and it motivated me to do music as I grew up. Bill rode a big Harley motorcycle and I remember how BIG it seemed to me as a kid. I also remember the day he came running down to my Mom's with a copy of the first 45 he recorded and released: "Please My Love" and "You Don't Care About Me". i still have that 45 and it is a treasure to me. My father died in 1954 and people like Bill became "models" for me as a young boy. I thought he was bigger than life! I would have loved to have been able to connect with him later in life but lost track of where he was when he left Clyde. I do remember hearing that he and Don Reno played "MARBLES" at the Clyde School playground true or not it's a good story! I do know it was a pleasure to know him and I count him as a part of the beginning of my interest in music which I still love today. I would love to know more about Bill and get the story straight as there seems to be some confusion on the internet.
