      Just saw this on Willie's 91st birthday. Merle is my favorite ever. He would borrow minnows when I was 15 on Lake McClure in '74. Had a houseboat across the dock from us. Always replaced them and then some. I didn't even realize then.....how much he would mean to me later. Thanks Willie for doing this for our friend

    Merle considered Willie one of his closest friends, and Willie felt the same about Merle. Willie honoured his friend of 50 years the best way he knew how, by singing a hauntingly beautiful song together with Merle's youngest son, Ben, who sings backup and plays guitar throughout the song.

    The guitar riff at the end by Ben Haggard, Merle's son... WOW! It gets me in the "feels." I shut my eyes and just see Merle effortlessly playing that jazzy riff on his Tuff-Dog Telecaster. Instead, it's Merle channeling through his son, and it couldn't be more beautiful. It's a signature style all to Merle, and thankfully his DNA is living large in Ben as well.

I looked at Yahoo news and...there it was...Merle Haggard had died, on his birthday. I was born in '77. I had never met the man. Never saw him in person. My Mama introduced me to him through his music and I fell in love with lots of songs. It felt like a family member died when I saw that he was gone that day....still does. This is a lovely tribute with if I remember correctly, Ben (?) playing his guitar?

    This song is about Merle Haggard, who became a CM giant with "Okie from Muskogee". He was 79 when he left us in 2016. He and Willie had some good times together. Willie is about 3 or 4 years older than Merle was, and we're so glad Willis is still with us!

    And he won't ever be gone
    We were friends right from the start
    And we shared some high times
    I would sing some songs he wrote
    He would sing a few of my own
    Music made us brothers 'til the end
    But not a day goes by that I don't miss him
    He won't ever be gone
    His songs live on
    Ramblin' Fever and The Way I Am
    Blue collar blues for the…

    Merle died on his own same birthday, April 6, 2016, the day after my 50th birthday and just two days before my beautiful 80 year old mother graduated up to Glory land. Merle Haggard kept me comfort with listening to him on my little transistor radio under my blanket at night since I was a little girl only 5 years old. HE WON'T EVER BE GONE ... HIS SONGS LIVE ON 🎶🎶🎶💃💃💃❤❤❤ Love you Hag and fam!!!

    I remember first time I met Merle that was with the Hamilton Brothers when they had a special priviate concert in Geneva Ohio. It was then I was up close and personal with Merle when he was sick and having a hard time breathing. I helped him be able to breath again after he was able to gain back his ability to carry on with the event. Merle was very much a beautiful soul and a very caring individual I had the opportunity to know as well as enjoy his company after. And breakfast the next day was amazing with him. He was very much a charictor. Always full of smiles. This is a man who definitely is a legend! Merle has been missed by so many of us who truly had that opportunity to really know the true loving enjoyable man he was! Willie your Tribute to Merle is amazing and it shows the true friendships you have had!! God Bless you Willie and may our dear friend Merle R.I.P.

    Today is five years since Merle died. Listened to this song multiple times. I have myself what I call Merle Day. He was born and died on the same day, so I celebrate his life on April 6. I listen to all my favorites by him, this, and his son Ben. It really helps because Merle was my favorite. I love this song ❤
