Loved Ol Merle and the Strangers, and Ms Bonnie too, she was a beautiful lady!

I wonder if Grady Martin was playing the acoustic lead in those songs. It was incredible. Merle is the best there ever was or will be, to me. Thanks for posting.

Did Merle lose a girlfriend to some long hair, in his youth ? What’s next mustaches and beards ? 🤣 bet They have a dispensary in Muskogee now😭 The real problem was those bellbottoms getting caught up in the bike chain and sprocket
