I'm glad Marty said if talking about Jesus bores you ! You have a problem!!

[@johnlanter2935]

Marty's Grandmother Raised Him in Church and I Thank God for Grandmother's who Raise their Grandchildren Up in Church because Mom's and Dad's don't have Time for their Children but Grandmother's and Jesus does and Marty and Merle's Mother always Prayed for Merle Soul so Yes if any has a Problem with someone talking about Jesus Christ they are the Ones the Most needs Jesus Christ because He Loved them so much , John 3:16 prayers 🙏❤️.

[@MargieDecoste]

The HAG was the best singer song writer there ever was and there will never be another like him or ever fill his boots.RIP

[@quickdeuce]

Wow,, Mo Pitney's sound took me back to the early 1960's and the first time I heard Merle. Like millions of his fans,, once you heard Merle Haggard you were hooked for life. Life is fleeting,, everyone will one day leave this 'ol Earth but the stories Merle put to music are buried in our souls. We know in our hearts his music will stand the test of time.

[@DinaNorton]

Absolutely 💯

[@LauraMacMillan-el2kc]

[@jackhartmann1145]

Merle Haggerf. Was one of a kind He did it all I loved his music 🎶 I’m so glad he excepted JESUS as savior in his youth GOD NEVER LEFT HIM. Our lives sometimes get sidetrack but in the end GOD forgives us as we should forgive ourselves and others Never met him but will someday when we get to heaven i want to talk to him and thank him for what he gave us on earth THANKS MERLE!!

[@brianzaborowski2724]

Mo really sounded great!

[@jimmycollette9209]

Jesus truly blessed Merle. The world was blessed for him being here. When God gives you a gift He does it for a purpose and for His glory and Merle knew that. Willie Nelson is the same way. These two men has influenced and blessed the world with their gifts.

[@jerrymcjunkin8398]

Yes and you got good words ther and I THANK you for this 3i feel the same way about DJT THEY QAS HER FOR A REASON THANKS YOU 😊 ❤ !!++

[@prairiemark4084]

C.S. Lewis wrote about humility. It matches with what Merles son said about it. Lewis said "Humility is not a handsome person that thinks he is ugly, nor is it an intelligent person who thinks he is a fool. But true humility lies in recognizing the positive things we have in life are gifts. We don't originate them. They are given to us.

[@MarkOshkeshequoam-m7i]

Amen 🙏🙏🙏 to those two beloved people 🙏😢😢

[@LowfaySites-v3h]

That was the best thing marty could have done was to make sure that his sisters got reconnection also on here. Marty bless you and your family have been a follower of Merle since I was a child my dad listened to him and was a big fan of his also along with Johnny caah Buck owens and Marty Robbins and all the others who have passed away the last twenty five years bless everyone of the families that lost a little their mom dad brother and sisters for those are the ones who made country music what it is but some performers lost that feel for it like it was back then wish it would go back to the old style from the sixties seventies and can't forget the classics from the fifties also

[@jamesbattiest3885]

[@theolachapman6126]

Marty is right JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD GETS THE CREDIT FOR MERLE GREAT VOICE AND FAME TO SHARE WITH AND ENCOURAGE OTHERS

[@jorgemorin1536]

I grew up listening to Merle's songs and this is coming from a Mexican American raised in Wasco, California. I always felt and to this day that we had a few things in common, we both lived in Kern County and in labor camps. My Favorite Memory is one of my favorites and love singing it in kareoke bars. I also love short brim hats. He will always be my favorite country singer.

[@jamesbattiest3885]

Today Feb 5 2024 I sing 2 Merle songs at a jam we had Merle was my hero I sing I can't be myself and farmers daughter

[@Dan13grandpa]

The Farmer Daughter is one of my favorite Merle Haggard. I have one she has some problems and will never be able to get married. I would feel just like that if she was able to get married. This song says Mama left in December and one of the ofter songs I love og his says if we make it through December we'll be fine. I don't know of a Merle Haggard song I don't like. Noel you are so right God gives us the gift. My Daddy was a preacher and only had a sixth grade education. And he could preach as good as anyone I have ever heard. He had trouble reading books but when he got up there to preach he didn't miss a word. Like Moses God gave him the Ability to do what he called him to do. Love to hear the singers on these shows. God bless you'll. Dan 🇺🇸

[@lindavaughn4974]

Merle Haggard is and will always be a ICON

[@lutherlewis6792]

I had the honor of spending a couple of days in the studio invited by my Uncle, Fred Foster, when Merle, Ray Price, and Willie recorded the album “Last of the Breed”. I had a chance to talk with them and it was a great great great honor. They were so talented and friendly it blew my mind.

[@SJ-ni6iy]

Merle’s voice and songwriting can’t be beat, just to be blessed with one of those talents is a one in a million. His life story is beyond amazing and I’d love to see it made into a movie.

[@timneas7749]

Thank you brother for lifting the name of Jesus.

[@kimlytton2523]

As they say he is the poet. So much depth to a man who was so down to earth who loved , lived and loved again. Awesome singer, song writer and just a common every day man. You can't beat the best and that is " Merle Haggard." He moves you like no other. Miss him,love him,he will love on forever.He gave us hope and something to live by. Sometimes I Dream. Love all of his songs,love him.RIP. Keep on making music,playing music and I know your fishing. You could not only hear the story but feel the stories. Love him. ❤❤❤

[@BruceFischer-i9z]

Merle Haggard was a man of great character who did time in prison as a youth. To be a great artist like he was, it seems to help to have had some personal tests and trials along the way. I think it strengthened Merle's emotional input in his great music. He was one of the greats, like George Jones, who had a rare talent for reaching into our amygdala.

[@JaneFox-ej2ss]

he was my mentor my hero and my best friend for ten years and I treasure every moment. hi Kelli, hi dana

Reallly enjoyed all the episodes and was very impressed and happy to hear Ray Benson and Jeannie Sealy speak so glowingly of Bonnie Owens ad Metle said eithout her there wouldn't have been Merle Haggard. I beleive they loved each other till the end but more ad respect than being in love. RIP MERLE AND BONNIE. They had the best sound ever. Love from Queensland Australia ❤❤

There was only one. Merle. Haggard. Known for his. Simple. Ways. There was no Look at me. He was a humble Person. Yet. His music and talent for. Singing. Was. A passion. He lived. Those in the Same. Professional

[@prairiemark4084]

I remember listening to Merle in a cold, cold, flour mill in Montana in winter in the mid 1970s. They had a decent audio and I would hear him on the radio which was turned up very high so we could hear it over the rumble of the mills. I was a sweeper and it was a dusty, noisy job. I worked graveyard from 11pm to 7am and vacummed floors number 7, 3,1, and the basement . One of the favorites at that time was "If we make it through December." The words touched my situation. " If we make it through December, everythings gona be all right I know. It is the coldest time of winter and I shiver when I see the falling snow" I was so cold. The mill was not heated, but we got some heat off the large electric motors and the wide flat belts. But I was making over $5 and hour and my last job had paid $2.20 so I toughed it out. "If we make it through December, I got plans to be in a warmer town come summertime, maybe even California, If I make it through December I'll be fine." My cousin and I were planning a trip around the USA on a bicycle trip. Several thousand miles. I had my little tent and my panniers and my Peugeot bicycle all bought and ready to go by for our trip starting in May. Just had to make it through the winter earning that $1,000 bucks a month. That song helped me make it through the winter.

[@kristofermann6685]

Growing up my 3 favorites were Hank Sr Merle Haggard and George Jones and there's no petecular order and also there's others just as talented. Country music has so so many great talented singers and players. Way too many to mention. May God Bless them All.🙏
