Country Music Icon Merle Haggard Dies on His 79th Birthday, April 6th 2016

At my old job at TBA Entertainment in Nashville, TN, the coolest thing I ever did was spend a year working with the legendary Merle Haggard on his, “For the Record” double album project. We re-released new versions of his 43 number one singles along with a corresponding live TV, concert special, from the Las Vegas Hilton, featuring Merle and a ton of special guests including Jewel, Dick Clark and many others. I can’t believe that was 17 years ago. What an awesome year and truly unforgettable experience it was, with so many great stories….. most of which are the kind that are better shared on a barstool.

RIP Hag from your old friend, Vick.
