I became a Merle fan while reading an interview article in a Playboy magazine he did and in it he spoke about a burn victim boy who was set on fire by his father and he was asked in an interview how he spent all those days recovering in the hospital and the boy had a simple reply and it was "thank God for radio". When Merle told that story about the boy replying "thank God for radio" Merle had tears in his eyes. It was at that moment I became a Merle Haggard fan and after THAT I went searching for his music. He was the greatest there ever was and the greatest there ever will be!

This was one of the best of Jim’s stories so far. “don’t fuckin move, I’m going away for a while under this blanket”. Classic.

As someone who shot with a view camera, I am impressed with this shoot. I can't imagine trying to remember all of the technical things while, at the same time, dealing with a person as your subject. Oh, and the person is Merle Haggard, and you don't have much time, and you and the Merle are both stoned.

What a beautiful story. Hit hit me like a stone when Kodachrome disappeared for the face of the Earth. I knew it could do and what it couldn't do and it was comfortable with it. My biggest regret in life is not going to a larger format regardless of the film media. My pictures of our local Coast and close ups of miscellaneous things like sand dunes and plants. Looking back 30 years, everything I did would have been ideal for a larger format. No, I cannot go back and we live my times but I totally enjoy listening to another photographer describing his life and times. Such a wonderful depiction and description of a personal relationship of a man that he people ever we're able to meet, greet, and spend time with. Fantastic stories and thank you for sharing.

Otis Thanks man, great interview I am really enjoying the stories of getting the picture of music icons. The Hagg was an awesome musician, and singer. I suppose Working Man Blues is my favorite song by him. I'm trying to remember that story Willie used to tell of calling Haggard to come check out Pauncho and Lefty . Haggard showed up in his tour bus,and all came that happens. Willie tells it really well , do you recall that one Otis? Thanks again for the stories and all the music you have given us friend, 😃🥃🤪🎸😎. Keep on rocking brothers and sisters ✌️🤘. Brother Gary

My most memorable Merle song is not one of his best, but a song from my youth. My father was huge Merle fan and I grew up listening to the albums he played . There was a song "Shade Tree Fix It Man" and I loved that song. Perhaps it came from being an "Okie" and hearing so many similar stories as the lyrics as a child but it still rings as my most memorable Merle song. Stan

Too many favorites to pick just one. Have a shared history with Merle, first my dad then my friends. Those long stony nights when we would "put on some Merle" and everything else paled in comparison. I think the studio version of You Don't Have Very Far To Go is one of the great country vocals of all time. If I were teaching Songwriting 101 then I would teach Kern River. Some might find it hokey and I'm not a farmer but I have a daughter and Farmer's Daughter gets to me every time ( Vince Gill does a great cover ). And Merle's last recording - Kern River Blues shows us that from his death bed Merle was better than 99.9 percent of what passes as country music these days. Just 3 songs that come to me, so many more worth mentioning. Won't see the likes of him again and we were lucky to have him. May he rest in peace.
