My god people. I know more classic country than a bunch of you have forgotten. It was all on purpose. I was hoping it was a hoax.

Time to go listen to Misery and Gin.

I have grown to not trust news agencies over the years. They are always trying to get info out so more people pay attention to them.

RIP...

I had posted something smart-assed when I couldn't find any evidence online supporting this post and thought it was another death hoax.

I loved Merle Haggard's songs. When I was 5 years old, my Aunt taught me how to play and sing "Tonight the Bottle Let Me Down"...great song...regardless...this will always be my favorite of his.

He was always fun guy to be around......Friends back in mid-70's early 80's owned Bear Creek Steakhouse in Amite and he played there a few times.

He could definitely put the booze away!!

RIP Merle

Almost went to go see him in March at Robinsonville as a birthday present. Prices were high and money was tight so I told the wife not to worry about it

RIP Merle
