    Love these little tidbit songs he does from his home in a relaxed environment. No pressure . just relaxing doing what he does best. Love his Jimmie Rogers album from years ago. Great entertainer, sorely missed. RIP Merle

    Merle, you're looking and sounding good!! Great surprise to see you today! When I was 17 I bought an 8 track album. I sang and played every song, you and Bonnie did TB Blues. I'm going to be 59 next week. Still playin and singing your songs, Thanks for the influence you've had in my life.. Carl

    Great to hear Jimmies songs from Merle. Also nice to see a last supper on the wall. Reminds me of my Grandparents house. I was lucky to leave the city and get back to the country and live with them on a 100 acre farm in high school. Got me back to my roots and this type of country blues music.

    Sonny Langley was my uncle. We were very close, more like brother and sister. I miss him every day. He and Merle were best friends and sang together often just for their own enjoyment. If you go to "That Bakersfield Sound" web site, there is a recording of Uncle Sonny and Merle singing "long black veil" done at Merle's house just for fun. Quality is not very good but at least it's something.

    I do miss talking with you. I hope all is well. Would you do "long black veil", it was one of mine and Sonny Langley favorites (in memory of him), or maybe something from Lefty that you'd like to do for us.

    What a nice surprise to find this video today. I was just listening to some of your songs earlier this evening. I grew up listening to my dad singing your songs around our house while he did chores. You are by far the best. As Porter Wagoner once said "a dangerous man with a song". Wishing you and yours a merry Christmas from South Korea.

    Sonny and were good friends, I have a lot of pictures, recordings Sonny had given me, I was collecting and documenting my home town music. I had a lot of help, and Sonny was one of the ones that helped me. Most of those guys are gone now, I am proud of the work we did. At sometime I will reinvest my time into the Bakersfield Sound. Sonny is a good man. Now he is picking in Gods band.

    Hey Merle, I just saw you in Bendover, Nevada. GREAT SHOW! The last time I saw you was at the Buck Owens Toys For Tots shows in Bakersfield, Ca, back in 67 and 68, I believe it was. Did you play 2 years in a row there? I can't remember if I saw you there both years I went. Anyway, Bendover was a great show and I'm not going to wait so long for the next one! I'm watching your schedule now! Thank you Merle.
