Everybody Dies…

I have a friend with PTSD who lives by this motto. It resounds with me as well – you never know when you will take your last breath. So get out and make the most of life while you can!

Vale Merle Haggard

It is with deep sadness that I announce the passing of Merle Haggard at the age of 79. Merle had been fighting a battle with pneumonia which would ultimately claim his life…. he had many number ones with songs like “Okie from Muskogee” and “Mama Tried”.

In closing, I say Rest In Peace and share this version of Okie from Muskogee with Marty Stuart and Willie Nelson:
