As a person who grew up in the seventies, I was very familiar with your story on Merle Haggard. I enjoyed reading this a lot. I had a country band, and we played many venues in the seventies. My biggest thrill was our trips to Renfro Valley, to appear on their big show. I got to sing Fighting Side of Me, and Okie From Muskogee, many times on various stages. Sonny and Bobby, the Osborne Brothers had a great version of Haggard’s Fighting Side of Me. Thank you for sharing this, Annette.
