Merle Haggard, country music legend, dies at 79 (7)
------ This thread is Archived ------
A very sad day, Merle has been my favorite singer/songwriter since I heard his first song (for me that was Okie from Muskogee) back in the late 60's. Being a hippie at the time it didn't exactly tickle my fancy but I recognized his talent and continued to enjoy his music as I discovered more about him. He had such a way with a phrase and was one of the best guitar/fiddle players in country music. Between him and Willie and Kris (luckily we still have two of them) some of the best songs ever written were recorded for history. I fear the near future will see more of the greats leaving us. This recent time we've lost George Jones, Johnny Cash and Glen Frey and a few others.

He lived in my hometown of Palo Cedro, California. I am just in shock when I was told - as is Shasta County we are all in mourning.
I used to drive past his home which was on a hill and would see his tour buses. I did this for years taking my daughter to her babysitter's just a few miles past his home. Wow that was 37 years ago.
I met one of his daughter's Dana who worked with my daughter she is a sweetheart. Never did meet him. But he will be missed in our area.
