Achingly beautiful.
So much soul.
My Dad loved Merle Haggard. Gave him tickets to see him live years ago. I think that was his favorite gift from me. He still talks about how much he loved seeing him. Was even more impressed after the show than before.
Welcome Wezzy. What a great gift.
Love his music, so real.
More and more often it seems figures from ‘my era’ are dying. I find it disturbing, and I’m sure as we get older that sense only increases. It’s a strange feeling, like part of you dies with them.
I’m doing my best to ignore that. It’s too scary, otherwise.
