Mo Pitney sings with his heart. ❤❤❤ just like the great Merle Haggard.

[@johanneaube7255]

Just love how Mo sings The Farmer's Daughter... can feel Merle's soul while he's singing it.

[@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 🇺🇸

[@user-ry9xr7os7z]

[@brianzaborowski2724]

I loved Merle since the first time I heard him. Now I have even a higher opinion of him after hearing all the great stories from those that knew him.

[@johanneaube7255]

Love Merle! I never get bored of hearing stories about him.

[@mildredworrell9300]

Merrill Haggard you are my favorite song writer and singer and you are my favorite country singer toooooooooooooooooooop😂

[@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.

[@user-zz1me9tp2b]

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

[@johansmit5066]

[@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.

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

[@user-ho6sy3go1z]

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.

[@mikeramsey-vs5xv]

There was no one better 😅

Love the Steel guitar xx

[@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.

he is great singer to watch qand love the.

Sure am glad I was at the right age to fall in love with his music when I did. I was out west and his music was ‘Western’ music. Raising a hand up to you Merle, thanks for the records❤✨🙌

Personal religious beliefs should be just that... PERSONAL. The vast majority of humanity do not adhere to the tenants of Christianity... or any MAN MADE religion. To be told on this program that if we are "bored" hearing of him then "we have a problem" is an offensive remark to me and many others I suspect. What each of us believes is product of our culture, where we were born and what we were taught. Since there are reported to be more than 3,000 GODS, what more evidence do you need to prove what I just wrote? The Christian deity is ONE among thousands. And every person believes THEIR god is the True god. Since this cannot be true to imply that the god that others believe in is somehow not legit is downright disrespectful.

@@PrinceAdams-cp9vh Your pompous, supercilious attitude is showing...

[@MizzouRah78]

Say what you want, and believe what you want. Marty tries way too hard to make everything he says poetic, dramatic, and he pushes the Jesus thing way too hard. There's a time and a place. This isn't a sermon, it's a tribute. I found it to be selfish and annoying.
