  • Merle is a "hero" !

    Merle spent his 21st birthday in San Quentin; THAT's compelling. His story is interesting, easy reading. JR

  • Merle's real life as told by him

    I loved it! He really does tell all, not just the good parts of his life. My family love all his recordings, but I feel bad that he preferred his guitar to singing.
