merle is a connection back to and a continuation of the traditions of woody guthrie, bob wills, jimmie rogers, hank williams, lefty frizzell. when merle is gone is real county is gone forever.

This goes on my calendar as an absolute must see. Merle is one of those few who can truly be called an American icon.

I'm excited to see the whole program about Merle, one of the country's greatest songwriters/performers!
