4 things: 1. That style of hat needs to make a comeback. 2. Cowhide guitar strap...awesome 3. That Telecaster. 4. Merle is the man and this is my favorite song he sings.
@@paulkossak7761 Hey, I ain't from NYC and I love Merle. I was just pointing out that your statement "We all love and miss him in the big apple" is not rooted in any sort of reality. NYC folks do not all love and miss Merle Haggard, quite contrary as I would venture to guess most NYC folk fucking hate good ole boys like Merle. I think dudes like that gay black rapper guy who gave the devil a lap dance are more their speed.
My wife passed away Dec 12th 23....she was attracted to me because I could sing and play her Merle Haggard songs...and I could teach her to play along with me.....She was beautiful and Merle Haggard brought us together for 23 incredible years.
He wore glasses many years though usually when performing, sunglasses that had prescription lenses. Wire frames. He was quite goodlooking. Met him standing by his motorhome when he played in Baltimore at Painters Mill, around 1981. He was parked out back and I was with the DJ that had some nice passes. He was just hanging out and very nice.
I enjoyed country music back in the day. There were some great songs, great songwriters, and great performers. It fit in good with the rock-n-roll life I led. I miss country music. I guess times change and music changes with it. And that's alright because it just makes these classics that much more golden.
🎸Mr. Merle, you sure could make us feel it. That's the way love goes, can sure make us rethink life. You was surely a gift to 💞love & country music. 🎧🎼🎶. Cheers 🥂. Thanks for sharing
Got to see merle perform one time before he passed.. So glad I did.. I grew up in New York City, but Is my dad loved country music.... I played all his albums... And now I live in the blue ridge mountains and play with country bands..
