This is the first time that I know of someone going forward on their own birthday! I love to hear him sing "Pancho & Lefty" with the red headed stranger! For Merle to go now most definitely stands out for me because his son, Ben, actually placed his stamp of approval on a message that I left for the ACM award show powers that be this past Sunday night over at the Twitter website. I ordered them to learn how to remember our legends because during the show they didn't acknowledge any of the ones in country music that went forward this past year. May Merle's passing make them realize how important it really is to never forget those who paved the road the stars of today are walking on.
God bless you and Merle's family and the remainder of our legends always!!!

Listen to my most favorite singer here sometime, James Otto that is!

Just keep reminding yourself that you got to see him because not everyone has the ability to see their favorite.
God bless you and his family always!!!
