RIP Merle Haggard.
I just saw this. Double pneumonia, at 79. One less outlaw.
When I was a boy I was told that anyone could become President. I`m beginning to believe it--Clarence Darrow

One of the greatest. Drove past his ranch out side of Bakersfield on my way to Lake Isabella many times. Kern River.

Double post, sorry.
Re: RIP Merle Haggard.
His obit made the front page of today's NY Times -- I mean an article below the fold, not a blurb at the bottom -- continued with a full half page before the regular obits. It is not a small thing to get such front page coverage and a testimony to his iconic status. He was larger than life. It was a very sad way to start the day.
Re: RIP Merle Haggard.
I grew up on rock, but in many recent years I've come to have a great appreciation of country and bluegrass music. It truly is Americana.
I have been listening a lot to Merle's stuff in the last few years.
He had a very long productive career. He was a real down to earth man.
I hear Marty Stuart is officiating his funeral. Good choice.
May "The Hag" Rest In Peace!

Re: RIP Merle Haggard.
When I was young I was cocky and tried to dislike Country music but Merle and George and Don Williams always found their way into my heart. Just so real. I wish country could still be. It's out there but you have to look for it. I wish a buck was still silver and a joint was a bad place to be!
I've got blisters on my fingers!
