Can't believe it

I can't believe Merle Haggard passed away today...actually, it was yesterday.  It is past midnight as I type this.  I just have to put a few of my favorite songs from his early years here.



I'm A Lonesome Fugitive was the first song of his that I loved.  I was around 10 or 11....at the time.  I liked the regular 'rock' or pop songs then, but I LOVED Merle's songs.



There was Pride in What I Am...also on that album was also one of my very favorites of his:



I don't think it was ever a hit, but I still love it as much today as I did back then.

Just a couple more....




I have to include Pancho and Lefty....Merle and Willie.  I have never been a great fan of Willie but I do love this one!
