    I only discovered Merle Haggard within the last year. I’m so sorry I did not know him years ago so that I could have attended his concerts. I am 86 years old and come from a country music family. I can tell you that Merle was absolutely the greatest song writer, story teller, singer of the last 50 years! I have never felt this way about a singer!

    My older sister died today. We hadn't spoken since July 4th, 2017. I tried to reach her last October, through her son. She was too sick to talk by then, but per her request, her son didn't tell me. Today I got the news she is gone. Her son did tell me she loved me and liked the song. Thanks, Merle, for telling her what I couldn't.

    This is why I miss Merle... I’m not knocking anyone, but today’s crop of Country singers just can’t (or won’t) sing with such emotional depth. Merle was truly one-of-a-kind, and this song he is singing, “Listen To The Wind,” really hits home with a whole LOT of people watching this concert right now...I’m sure of it!

    I can't understand how one couldn't appreciate art from a true original like the Hag. People should pay closer attention while he's still here with us. We just lost the possum, in the last 10 or 15 years we've lost Waylon, Cash, Buck, Porter, Paycheck, and many others. The masses only seem to pay attention AFTER they have passed. People should let the Hag know how much he has meant to us while he's still here to hear it. Love Ya Hag!

    Listening to the wind
    Trying to hear the voice of a distant friend
    Wishing you and I were close again
    Listening to the wind
    Listening to the breeze
    As it whispers through the poplar trees
    Do you think of me way back then?
    Do you listen to the wind?
    Listening to the night
    Wishing we could hold and squeeze each other tight
    I can almost hear the stars so bright
    Do you listen to the night?
    Listening to the sound
    Of a highway through some distant town
    I can almost hear the pale moon light
    Do you listen to the night?
    ****************
    Listening to my mind
    Searching through my thoughts for the perfect life
    Using tricks and telepathy at times
    Do you listen to your mind?
    Listening to the breeze
    As it whispers through the poplar trees
    Wishing you and I were close again
    Just listening to the wind.....
