I think so too Judy - it was a great show and I am sure his sons will go on playing music, He was very humble and affable - Would go again to see him in a heart beat! Thanks for stopping by - GP
Norma, I couldn't agree with you more. I saw Marty live and he couldn't have been friendlier. The show was also fabulous! I recorded this cut and several more during the show. I have many more loaded up on my site. Thank you for stopping by. GP
Brandulph - Thanks for stopping by my Channel - Sad that Merle is gone but yes wonderful that his kids can sing. Marty was a wonderful entertainer and such a down to earth kind of guy. I hope he comes back to Montreal another time. - def would go back and see him again. Happy New Year to you - GP
Michael, I agree with you wholeheartedly, I met him also, humble, easy to talk to, I remember telling him he was the real deal! He just smiled and thanked me. It mustn't be easy being the son of perhaps the greatest country singer of all time! GP
Love Merle, his boys and whoever else inherited that talent -- since finding Merles songs, I love hearing many of them. God given talents -- Thank you God for your blessings on them!!
One of the greatest songs ever written and one of my absolute favorites. To hear the whole story is heartbreaking but I would listen to every story Marty wanted to tell about his father. Especially concerning how a certain song came to be. What a gift that Marty is willing to share. When music actually had meaning. 🙏🏻
Marty is a God fearing man who respected his father although they travelled on different paths! Merle and George Jones are by my all time favorites. Elvis is not far behind! They were all born in the 30"s. Exceptional decade for music!
Ruth, I could not agree more. Got him to sign an 85 x 11 picture and was thrilled. He was a perfect gentleman with a good sense of humor. One of the best ever! Gerry
Carol, Merle, George Jones, Ray Price, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson...all gone except Willie and I miss him already ...check out new song just came out No more country music for old men by the Bellamy Brothers....Thanks for dropping by! GP
Thanks for stopping by Primrose Haran - it was an amazing show and he did an awesome job of singing and entertaining. I would go again if I got the chance. GP
Ethel, Glad to have you aboard. I also grew up listening to country music, Jones and Haggard in particular. Their music has a way of transporting you beyond. Thanks for passing by. GP
Gerry so did I and I will never forget it. Some yahoo was yelling out songs to him and in true Merle fashion yelled back telling him to get his own show. I had heard that he has done this before at his shows. He signed a glossy 8.5 x 11 glossy for me and I cherish it!
Anella, Era il più gentile possibile. Ha avuto un sacco di tempo per noi per firmare autografi e ha parlato molto bene se suo padre!Attualmente lavora ora come predicatore e canta di lato! GP
Marty is honoring his dad by telling us the true story. He is proud of how he came from the jail house to the White House! Nothing wrong with Marty being proud of “ the finished product “ of his dad. Marty is my favorite one of Merle’s sons, he is so humble, a great singer,& loves THE LORD 🙏🏼
Hummingbird met him and had a conversation at the break and I couldn't agree more. Humble, respectful and oh so talented. Had his own style but man did he sound like his old man. Will cherish the conversation I had with him forever! GP
Wonder if Merle would want his past put on here. Don't remember Merle talking much about his past. He must have told his sons though. I'm glad Merle ended up singing. The best. His son is quite funny..
Margaret, I hear you, Merle was a private man, I saw him live in concert about 5 years back and I knew the concert promoter so I went down early to the arena and asked him if Merle could sign 3 8.5 x 11 photographs of Merle and he said let me see what I can do but no promises. I saw the promoter when I arrived at the show and sure enough he had 3 pics for me signed and all. I was getting 2 for my friends and one for me. I asked Merle to sign mine To Gerry and had a big loop in the G, it came back with a big loop in the G, Merle had a sense of humor!! Thank you for dropping by! GP
Haha if he is reading, he can't see the written script you telling as you see he use glasses and that glasses can't read that's far and impossible he can read fast as he moving fast too. But any only marty know it. 😅
It was a fascinating story to listen to - and he did sing the song afterwards and made it so much more meaningful after hearing his explanation behind the song - Sing me Back Home. Thanks for stopping by. Happy New year - GP
I THINK MERLE WOULD WANT HIS SONS TO GO ON PLAYING MUSIC EVEN SINGING HIS SONGS AT LEAST HIS MEMORY WILL NEVER DIE
I think so too Judy - it was a great show and I am sure his sons will go on playing music, He was very humble and affable - Would go again to see him in a heart beat! Thanks for stopping by - GP
I'm sure you are cotrect

Marty Haggard is a believer. His testimony of jesus love is very moving.

Sheila, agreed, did you know he was named after Marty Robbins? From Merles' mouth to your ear! GP

Fabulous Marty, you sound like your dad.
You are great Marty. Thanks for carrying on your Dads life & all your brothers.
Patricia, Amen thank you for passing by GP
That would be great following their dad's footsteps. Country music is best.
Amen!
What a great gift to us all, that Merle's musical genes have been passed on to most all of his children Thanks for sharing, buddy!!

I’ve met Marty. He is one of the kindest human beings you will ever meet, and a great talent.

Ester, I saw Merle Haggard live and it was one of the highlights of my life, what a man, who always spoke his mind, and what a singer! Bless you Gerry
It's nice to see them carry on the legacy of a great artist 🙂

Jennie, God Bless our soul! Merle hears you! GP
So beautiful Marty
Every time I hear this story I chuckle. The last of the Bakersfield Sound had told me about It prior to hearing Marty tell the story. Love history!
Marty can sure tell a good story! GP
@@2011Mrmusicman That he can! I enjoy talking with Marty and his wife! Marty is exceptional!
Marty is a God fearing man who respected his father although they travelled on different paths! Merle and George Jones are by my all time favorites. Elvis is not far behind! They were all born in the 30"s. Exceptional decade for music!

Ruth I saw him live and he did not disappoint! Gerry
Gerry Presley ,,,that’s great 👍
Ruth, I could not agree more. Got him to sign an 85 x 11 picture and was thrilled. He was a perfect gentleman with a good sense of humor. One of the best ever! Gerry
Beautiful had the opportunity to see him in flint good job Marty!
Mele was an original. GP

Nancy and Terry Amen, they sound like him complete with his inflections! GP
Wow Marty looks (and sounds) so much like Merle! Fascinating to know the story behind one of my favorite Merle songs.
JerseyGirl, he was simply fantatsic! I would recommend to them plus all the sons and grandson to go on tour together. They would be a hit for sure! GP
Thanks for sharing that story Marty this song has new meaning for me now.
Les, I am late but you are welcome! Thank you for passing by! GP

Hagfan, Mele is absolutely the best! Thanks for dropping by! GP
To hear the background of Merle's life, and this song, brings this old man to tears..
Merle was one of a kind. Take a listen to the Bellamy Bos....No Country Music for old men. GP
Good story, great song.
Love Merle Haggart music an hope his sons continue to honour their dad an sing his songs
Amen, Faye!
HAGGARD

Got to see the boys and merle at one of his last concerts. Priceless
Gerry so did I and I will never forget it. Some yahoo was yelling out songs to him and in true Merle fashion yelled back telling him to get his own show. I had heard that he has done this before at his shows. He signed a glossy 8.5 x 11 glossy for me and I cherish it!
Marty sings more like his dad then his other sons. His others sing good but Marty looks and sings like his dad
Donnie, I could not agree more! GP
He sounds more like his daddy than all his brothers and I found the sto ry very interesting.
I love your father wish I could have meet him
This is why we have children!

Ben is a great singer and guitar player! But Marty is funny and sounds great. The kind I would like to have for a neighbor 😄
I’ve met Marty & his family several times. He is such an exceptional gentleman! Love hearing his stories. God Bless to all Haggard’s!
Noel is really good to, and just wait for Ben he's another clone of Merel!*
Think got too much..beer..🤣🤣🤣
only his sons would know the true story.
How true, man the Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard clan will go on signing their songs years after they have passed on !
Lol!!❤

Shame audio sucks
He has to Read it from a script, watch him look down and read
No dont think hes reading it chances are he has that all locked in his brain
Haha if he is reading, he can't see the written script you telling as you see he use glasses and that glasses can't read that's far and impossible he can read fast as he moving fast too. But any only marty know it. 😅
Not a very good "tribute" to your dad. He paid his dues,and became a very. Honorable man. God bless merle and his memory.
Amen! His voice never waivered to the end!
Less talk ..
Travis, i hear ya but I was there and the audience was captivated by what he had t say! GP
Talk too much !

Marty, you talk tooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much! Sing the songs!
It was a fascinating story to listen to - and he did sing the song afterwards and made it so much more meaningful after hearing his explanation behind the song - Sing me Back Home. Thanks for stopping by. Happy New year - GP
