No flash..No fancy hair or big back up band.No big light show or echo chambers and yet still the best country/blues session Ive heard in years..Live forever Merle , we need you.
I'd like to wish Mr. Merle Haggard a belated happy birthday last April 6, 2012, may the good Lord bless and keep you always. Thanks for your beautiful songs, love them all.
Ever since The film tv show Movin On, my father and family enjoy watch show every Tuesday back 1974. One my favorite song Movin On, back then saw tv special ads on tv good old days. Had buy record, once came in mail, later my parents buy album. Always enjoy classic hits songs though years, on radio stations. At younger age 7 still remember most songs saw him in concert at State Fair. Once in life time. Truly amazing artist and talented singer and songwriter and more. Thank You. God bless him in heaven now and Forever.
Those of who grew up on Merle's music and even bought a Tele because that is what he played dream of sittin' around and jammin' with Merle... this is as close as we get. What a treat. Thanks for opening up your home to us, Merle. God speed, sir! Billy
What an awesome man and singer of all times! Thanks for so many wonderful memories with my dad sitting out back under the tree with a fire going and your music turned up just right!!!!
This man is my hero, and at times in my life, he's been the only person on earth who gave me a reason to keep living. Really enjoy hearing songs done simple and true. What a guy.
I saw Merle live in the 70's, 80's and 90's...Been my all time favorite since the 60's....BUT, of the times I've seen him live, i never got to hear him sing my most favorite song. That is, " My House Of Memories " That would be on my bucket list if I thought it possible. It'd be the next best thing if he sang it on a you tube video like this. Can't tell you what Merle's music has meant to me all these years.
Great stuff! One man and a guitar, no fancy studio engineering, one take, right out there with nothing to hide behind, and what you see and hear is what you get. I don't have any specific requests right now, but I'd love to see more of these videos.
So great to see this! Thank you for sharing these. Merle is the best there is. My favorite singer & songwriter of all time, and a daily inspiration on my own songs & performances. All the best & much love to you and your family.
Love it! I rememeber several years ago you were doing webcasts from your home but they stopped. I sure wish you could put them up for sale on your website. Would make great Christmas presents for us to buy all our Hag friends and you could use the proceeds to buy Benny a sweet Christmas present! Have my tickets already for Billy Bobs in January Merle. You are welcome to come visit my "Hags Hollow" man cave after the show if you like!
Wow! Not as good as sittin down pickin with you but what a privilege to see you in a home setting. I've been listening and playing your music since is was 14 yrs. old. I can't tell you how much I think you've done for music... Keep'em comin! Carl
My guitar instructor is a big Merle fan most of my teaching from him are based on Mr Haggard. I know many of his songs by heart over the years, still go back and play the early ones.
You're my absolute favorite. I've been listening to you since I was a little girl and you get better as time goes by. Thanks for sharing this intimate video and would love to see more.
Merle, I for one would like a whole mess of videos like this just you and a guitar.......love to watch ya work......thanks for the music....Bill in Des Moines
Have let you know, my wife and I have been praying for you Sir. we have you in our home everyday and for ever. like George Jones, he is still with us and always will be. looking for the day when you and us are Jamming together. Ben and Donna BENJAMIN Fallon, Nevada.
The first time I remember hearing "Tonight The Bottle Let Me Down" was from a very drunk young lady in very flimsy gold lame' shirt at guitar pull that erupted after an ol' time opry show in Columbus, Texas. I still think of her every time I think of that song.
My Grandma (R.I.P)Annie C From Old Shasta favorite song of yours was Mama Tried.!!! She loved when you play the fiddle. Please play us some fiddle music Merle;)
I would love to meet you in Springfield, Ohio this coming April. I am a true fan. I am looking forward to hopefully hear some of your new stuff. I saw you play a couple years ago in Columbus and you did all your hits...which is fine but there are some of us fans that like the new stuff as well. Thanks for never retiring.
Now they made a great movie about johhny cash's life its time they make one about haggards i promise you this man has been through alot just from watching/reading his biographies.
Merle, you'd be doing the world a huge favor to record more of these homey versions of old classics, and some of the newer ones too, like Rainbow Stew and Kern River. Like you, I was born next to the Kern River (but in 1939), only west of town and have a lot of memories mostly good but, some bad of the river. Did you ever swim at Bellevue weir, just west of Stockdale? I figure the only real difference between you and me besides a couple of years, is looks, talent, luck, and maybe brains -Adios
The first time we met Is a favorite memory of mine They say time changes all it pertains to But your memory is stronger than time! I know, I got it bad
Hey bud soundin great.. Hows the fishin down river ? God bless come out to the wolf house sometime in norfork...every thursday night pickin and a grinnin
Merle this is Rick from Harrah's Reno-Tahoe days.. Roy Nichols became a good buddy and drinking partner. Man do I miss him. I want to bring a guitar and come back out, I could stay there for days (but I will leave), and catch up with you..PM if you're interested, I need to get out to California again before long on business anyway...
MY GOOD GALS´S GONE I JUST THOUGHT SHE´D NEVER GO MY GOOD GALS´S GONE I JUST THOUGHT SHE´D NEVER GO I WUZ A FOOL, NOW I´LL NEVER SEE HER NO MO´. DEE YO DU LEE HEE HEE HO....
Actually I just checked out your page...what did I see? Cover, cover, cover, cover, cover, cover...you get the picture. And you REALLY can't figure out why his videos get more views than yours?
Merle well done I wrote a song with the help of a few of your Lyrics that I deticated to my Dad and you it is on youtube Check it out type in Daddy will I see Merle Haggard in heaven now I only sing for my own pleasure as you will see but it was from the heart and most Power Lineman have alot of heart and while working all over this country I hade a chance to work with my dad and Merle Haggard was always with us.my dad is still working today at the age of 75.can`t slow him down like the Hag
