 RIP Merle Haggard |

| another sad day for the music of my childhood. My mother used to wake us up every Sunday morning with the stereo cranked up to "Big Wheels Rollin'", one of his less known songs, but for me one of his best (among so, so many). |

I love that song! I usually can only remember a few phrases from it, but I will break out with those few phrases sometimes when I see a big rig on the highway. "And a steady hand to pull that load behind!"
I had an uncle who was an independent truck driver and my younger brother got to go on a trip to Georgia with him when my brother was just a kid.

Yeah, My daddy bought that album for the song "I've Got a Darlin' For a Wife" for my mother. It was the ONLY secular country album that was ever played on my parents' hi-fi until I became a teenager  Great memories, they don't make 'em like the Highwaymen anymore. |

Ole Timer, you might get a laugh out of this anecdote. I met Chief Charging Battery at a pickin' and grinnin'. Sometimes we would sing Okie from Muskogee. I was singing right along when I messed up the words and said, "We still wave Old Glory down at the smokehouse..." I think that gave me approval from my future in-laws as they surmised I was a genuine country girl. |

"Imma Shade Tree Fixit Man", The wife would sing that when I was working under the Banyan Tree in Cuba. No repair places aboard GITMO.
