R.I.P. MERLE
MERLE HAGGARD , DIED TODAY FROM HEALTH ISSUES.
i've been a long time fan of his and must have at least 23 of his albums. i could personally connect to alot of his early songs they seemed to mirror my life.
so from one working man to another R.I.P. Merle

Re: R.I.P. MERLE
Damn straight brother! Merle is the epitome of the Bakersfield sound.
Nothing goes better with a Bourbon than a Merle tune from the 60's. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ejmDQp13YII

Tryker when I see these punks today trying to play country music it's like everything else modern a-holes do...it's ain't gettin' it.
This man cracked skulls,drank whiskey,did time and wrote kick ass music. He was the real thing.
(don't get a mug like this livin' right) Cheers Merle I will miss you brother.

Re: R.I.P. MERLE
Mr. Tryker,
He lived near my hometowne of Redding, Ca., and I knew a gal who did housework for him and babysitting for his friends. She told me he sure liked his pot! Probably why he moved to N. Ca. from S. Ca. Wille Nelson stopped by often. There used to be a breakfast joint in Redding I'd frequent, and they had the Merle booth. Thats where he always sat for breakfast. Right next to the booth was a saddle with silver concho's and his signature on it. I saw him there once, but too many people around to even get close. He did some benefits for local charities and helped raise money for the Bowles fire victims near Weed, where I now live. 150 homes were lost. Sorry to hear he passed, last I heard he was getting better and touring again. RIP Merle.
Best regards,
Bonz

Re: R.I.P. MERLE
Wow Bonz...I never realized....you live in Weed CA? What a great name!
There is a town here in WV in McDowell Co. Hemphill. I always thought that was a cool one. But Weed.......the man from WEED. He doesn't pull six gun just a bong with a six shooter on it!

Cool fact- (many already know) Lynard Skynard' band name was their high school coach that didn't like long hair on boys.

Just on the north side of Mt. Zoomie. I live in a golf community about 5 miles away from Weed, near the 2nd tee. Will be moving to S. Oregon this summer.
This might be your kind of store...
