    Merle was ONE of the artists that inspired George Strait. If you listen to his music, it is obvious that his larger inspiration was Bob Wills. It might be hard to understand if you're not from Texas. If you listen to Bob Wills, then put on George Strait, it is unmistakable. George Stait is more Western than Country. They are not the same. People have sort of lumped them in together in modern times. Western Swing some roots in Eastern Country music, but more in Norteno (Mexican), German polka, and Jazz.
    Like I said, these days most people don't know who Bob Wills was:
    'You can hear the Grand Ol' Opry in Nashville Tennessee
    It's the home of country music, on that we all agree
    But when you cross that ol' Red River, it just don't mean a thing
    Cause once you're down in Texas, Bob Wills is still the King'

      He needs an 'e' @ the end of his name... if you're referring to The Hagg.
