Merle's passing reminds me of '65, being 19 in Japan in the Navy, sitting on the back steps of a shipmate's family rental drinking Jim Beam & listening to Merle, Buck Owens & other cw musicians of the time. We got his Japanese landlord drunk & in trouble with his wife a couple of times. He loved country music but did have any. We gave him some cw lps when we shipped out.
RIP Merle.
