Merle had just over'd cancer weeks before the Haiwassie show, and belted out to a crowd of about 3,000. Small crowd for him I'm sure, but excellent acoustics and seemed like a real personal performance kinda like this. I'm 23 and it was a dream come true to see my favorite singer of all time. He was also my grandpa's who passed away with lung cancer 4 days before the show.Theresa took Gp's Live Motorcycle Cowboy casset tape on the bus, and Hag singed it for me.I'll remember this to my dying day!
This is awesome to see the Hag post a video like this. I wonder what it sound like if some of our current Nashville singers sat down in there living room with a flat top a plucked us an old tune like this. I bet you half the ones that's got recorded labels couldn't tell you who Jimmy Rogers is. Seen Merle once in Haiwassie GA, and once in Augusta Ga, both where Legendary performances.
Wow:Merle is the best.he's so talented.I loved that man since I was knee high a kid of 9 years.he's just got a kick ass voice and he's #1 with me I'll never forget the first time iv heard him my dad had an old eight track tape of okie from Muskogee recorded live,and he use to take me out on his big old monstrous u model Mack tractor trailer and he would play all that stuff as well as Johnny cash and I was hooked line and sinker and I still collect his recordings to this day all I can say Is,iv
We still love your music Merle! Keep on pickin and singin! We will be listening. I went to my first Merle Haggard show last summer. It was AWESOME! REAL COUNTRY MUSIC!
Hey Merle, this is Johnny Braxton from Checotah,Okla. I've had the honor of meeting you a few times and sit on your bus and watch you play " Listening to the wind" on acoustic guitar. I am a friend of Richards, I thank you sir, for the oppurtunity and hope to get to do it again sometime, Thank you for the music and the memories.
Wow! Not as good as sittin down pickin with you but what a privilege to see you in a home setting. I've been listening and playing your music since is was 14 yrs. old. I can't tell you how much I think you've done for music... Keep'em comin!
I would love to meet you in Springfield, Ohio this coming April. I am a true fan. I am looking forward to hopefully hear some of your new stuff. I saw you play a couple years ago in Columbus and you did all your hits...which is fine but there are some of us fans that like the new stuff as well. Thanks for never retiring.
Merle this is Rick from Harrah's Reno-Tahoe days.. Roy Nichols became a good buddy and drinking partner. Man do I miss him. I want to bring a guitar and come back out, I could stay there for days (but I will leave), and catch up with you..PM if you're interested, I need to get out to California again before long on business anyway...
G. Day Merle.... Love hearing you on You Tube singing this great song that you do so well, Sorry i can't be in Bakersfield next week to see you ,, but i'm very grateful to you for all the times i got to meet you and see you in concert ,,, Your looking great and sound good as usual ,, God Bless You , love all the way from Australia ,,, Ailsa
Love it! I rememeber several years ago you were doing webcasts from your home but they stopped. I sure wish you could put them up for sale on your website. Would make great Christmas presents for us to buy all our Hag friends and you could use the proceeds to buy Benny a sweet Christmas present! Have my tickets already for Billy Bobs in January Merle. You are welcome to come visit my "Hags Hollow" man cave after the show if you like!

thanks for putting this up. This man and his music mean so much to me. Saw him play in Bartlesville a couple years ago. Brought tears to my eyes.
Merle, your music has brought me through some rough patches. Thanks, brother.
