RIP Mr. Merle Haggard ✝
I saw you in concert at the Tom Green County Coliseum in San Angelo, Texas around the 2006-2009 time frame. You put on a real good show and you are a legend in great American country music !
I like/love your song, Movin on that is used in the 1970s tv series movin on, starring Claude Akins which is about two truck drivers working and delivering loads. I also like your song, Okie from Muskogee. I was glad to be under the same roof as you at the TGC coliseum....
