I thought it was interesting he married Buck Owens ex wife. I know they're two of the biggest stars to come out of Bakersfield.

I have always loved his music since I was a little kid. He was a true talent that will be hard to duplicate in the music industry. My favorite song from him has always been Fightin side of me. A very patriotic song. This video, while just pictures, is a great tribute to our country and soldiers.

RIP Merle

Nobody on the planet would rightfully consider me a country fan, but I sure did love me some Merle the Pearl.

Rest in Peace Merle. My first memories of him were hearing "Okie from Muskogee" on my dad's 8 track.
