I praise God for giving Merle in my world, shared his golden voice to everyone who treasures him. Now he resting in peace. I also pray that God will take care of his three sons he left to carry his name and songs.

Can’t believe how good he still is. What a consummate artist. I see Joss Scott on fiddle from Strangers and old friend of Merle Norman Hamlet. Greatly missed by fans and his family and band mates.

[@irmacushing3483]

Good to see a live performance!

[@nicifilteau1447]

I am enjoying this!! 🤗 I am a late Fan, because during the years Merle was alive, I was paying attention to other things. The more I listen, the more I appreciate the apparent ease with which he AND his band, including son Benny, performed so beautifully. P.S. I wonder where the other commenters are. I have watched this performance before, and commented also. I could have sworn there were a bunch of praises offered!! (I think more than one "Channel" posts some of these same privately made videos . . . Is that so?!)

[@annajackson6163]

I wonder too! A late lover of his music, I am somewhat saddened that didn't find him till after his passing. RIP Mr. Haggard.

I wish they'd list the songs and/ or the musicians' names. Love Merle's music

[@janeplain1097]

Ben is talented, too...I think he was 16 here...Too bad Covid prevented him and Noel from developing their tours..I see they are not scheduled for any concerts this year...as yet.

[@janeplain1097]

Ben said that he had big time stage fright when he joined the band (at 15)...He didn't seem like he was frightened.
