Merle, After introducing yourself to me at Walmart in Arkadelphia, Arkansas, I tried to contact you to apoogize that I didn't realize that you were really you. I thought you meant that perhaps you played the guituar for Merle Haggard in Branson. When I told you to go in front of me in the checkout line, after you checked out you turned to me, put your arm on my back, and then told me who you were and raised your T-shirt sleeve to show me your "Guituar Man" tatto on your upper left arm. I'm sorry that I didn't know that you were really who were were. I wish now that I could have talked to you longer. About that time, the tabloids indicated that you were having some health problems and I sent a message to you on one of your sites indicating that I would pray for you. I hope you are much better now and back in full stride using that fantastic voice of yours.
