Just read that another music legend has died - and on his 79th birthday. So sad that we have lost another great talent.
Thoughts and prayers going out to his family and friends.

"I turned 21 in prison doin' life without parole...no one could steer me right, but mama tried, mama tried..." Such a great storyteller. RIP, Mr. Haggard.

My dad was a big fan and I tear up when I hear that stupid Okie from Muskogee song because it reminds me of my dad and his redneck ways.

I knew he was ill, but hadn't heard that he had passed. Grew up listening to his music because my dad really like him. "Seashores of Old Mexico" was one of my favorites. I really enjoyed when George Strait did a cover and included Merle in the video. RIP Merle.

Oh, darn it. My husband and I love Merle. We have been to several of his shows, that last one was last June. We have met him and really enjoyed talking to him. RIP Merle

Will miss Merle. I like much of his music, and even sing a few.

He was one of my dad's favorites, so we listened to him a lot when I was growing up. He will be missed.

Merle Haggard music reminds me of listening to music in the car with my parents when I was growing up. My favorite song of his is "Working Man Blues." That song just stands the test of time. Love it.
