Merle Haggard was one of my musical heroes R.I.P.
“Merle Haggard, the grizzled country music legend whose songs, such as “Okie from Muskogee” and “Fightin’ Side of Me,” made him a voice for the workingman and the outsider, has died. He was 79.
• Haggard died Wednesday, his birthday, of complications from pneumonia at his home in Northern California, his agent Lance Roberts told CNN.”
• Please God – let Willie Nelson remain with us !!!
