RhysP Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 I grew up listening to Merle Haggard, my dad loved him. It's funny, my musical taste has become more & more similar to my dads over the years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twincam Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Ah old Merle. Been my friend many a lonely drunken night. This year has been terrible for some fantastic talent leaving us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discreet Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Recently joined a band that plays quite a few of his songs. Never even heard of him previously. Fantastic songwriter. It's a shame I only got into him shortly before his death. But we still have the songs. RIP, Hag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discreet Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 [quote name='gary mac' timestamp='1459978667' post='3021554'] ��. Just recently listened to his "if we make it through December" [/quote] Played that at rehearsal last night. It's a great song, the bass line is a pleasure to play. He really didn't write too many '3-chord roots and fifths' stuff, his songs and arrangements are full of interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
