RIP Merle, though I had assumed he was already in the great honky tonk in the sky
 
R.I.P. Merle, I only got to see him once, but it was awesome.
 
That's to bad, rest in peace Merle.
 
Probably my favorite Merle song... tough call to make, though. So many classics.

My wife and I saw him in the fall of last year. He put on a great show, pretty spry for a man his age.

Talk about a truly unique, genuine person. It's a great loss for country music.
 
Appropriate. RIP Hag.
