Merle Man: New song tells tale of Bako blogger's memories of her Merle-fan father
You never know when a song is going to come, and you never know where it's going to come from. The following song was inspired when a blog post of mine involving a song called Merle's Girl, led a young lady over at Bakotopia.com to reply with a touching story about growing up with her now deceased, Merle-fan father. You can follow the story behind the song that tells the story here (as well as the lyrics that came to me in less than one minute as a result of the inspiring nature of Annie's story): http://www.bakotopia.com/ho... This song has been added to my forthcoming CD, From Buck Owens Blvd. to Merle Haggard Drive. Stay tuned here: http://www.drblt.net

Great song, Bruce... that was definitely right up your alley as far as musical material. It might be interesting to add a verse or two about how much this lady cherishes that guitar and would do anything to hang onto it, including running into a burning building. (I tried posting this at Bakotopia, but I would apparently have to create another account. No, thanks!) WS posted by

Food for thought, ws. I appreciate the compliment and the suggestion as well. Of course the suggestion was made with the assumption that I have the ability to focus on one song for longer than 2-3 minutes without my head becoming further crowded with an idea for another, entirely new song, half way through writing that third verse :)
