Merle took a lot with him but thankfully he left a lot for true Country Music fans.

A lot of these thing Charlie said about Merle can be applied to Charlie. Rest in peace legends of music.

Merle Haggard was the first concert we saw as a married couple back in the late 80’s. We were privileged to see Charlie Daniels last year before he died. God bless America. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
