    This is real music, nobody trying to outdo the next guy, no drummer pounding all over his drums, no bass player walking in and out of every chord change, nobody playing thousands of notes while the singer is singing. They don't make 'em like Merle anymore, that's for sure.

You wrote "They don't make 'em like Merle anymore" by adding "anymore" he clearly means no one has come along like him since he has gone. You best should quit trying to be smart people like you just the way you are.

    Within the void, left by Merle, George, Waylon, Marty, and far too many others for me to try to name, there exists no one to ever replace them. So I say, to those of us who remain, do not let their praises go unsung. Myself, honestly, I am having a tough time going on, with most all of my heroes gone. THAT is how much love I have for them. Farewell my Brothers, who helped lighten my struggle. Forever I love you!

    I'll be 90 in Nov. 2023 and still remember a bitter cold day in Mar. 1944 when several young soldiers came to visit my beautiful first cousin, Jean, with whom they had been in H.S. In the group gathered around the fire was a 17 yr. old named Calvin whose mom had signed allowing to join. Calvin loved this song (the version released by Wily Walker and your grandpa in 1941), and sang, hummed, and whistled it continuously. Calvin hit Omaha Beach on June 6, and a round blew his leg off. From his stretcher his last words were "well, goodbye boys, and don't forget to be good Christians" as told by one of his buddies. He died of shock before they could get him to the hospital. ship. I've never forgotten that evening.

      The Great Norm Stephens ,Norm played for Lefty Frizzell ( played on 'If You've Got the Money I've Got the Time ) and also for Hank Thompson.
      Just Eight songs recorded with Frizzell in 1950 and 1951
      but considering that four of those songs went to
      the top of the charts, he was heard by millions nonetheless, influencing thousands of future country
      guitarists - including Merle Haggard

    As I listen to Merle I believe he is giving us an autobiography of his life in music. Writing songs from his heart and singing them from his heart as well. His music is about real life not just some pie in the sky dreams.
