I also worked with Merle at his house. But when you're inthe studio with Hag it's always best to let him do the talking. We did speak a bit about the old Capitol Studio days and he was very animated. But once again, I was producing Merle Haggard and it was all I could do to not piss in my pants.

Well, you are a good man, but I couldn't have held back on the questions.

I know what you mean about urinary incontinence.

Thanks for contributing to this post, and thanks for the great picture. Where can we find those recordings of you with Merle?
