		<description>Congratulations on your anniversary. My spouse and I just celebrated our 35th year together. It is wonderful that you are healthy again Merle!

I&#039;ve loved and listened to your music for as long as I can remember. Marty Robbins and Merle Haggard have always been household words in our family. ( My father looked and sounded quite a lot like you, Merle, in  younger days. ) Now that Marty is no longer with us, &quot;Merle Haggard: is alone at the top of my favorites list. I am already eagerly aniticipating the chance to attend one of your concerts in 2010!

 May you enjoy great health, and many years of wedded bliss to come!</description>

		<description>Merle i wanted to thank you for keeping me in your prayer&#039;s while i was in prison for five years in Texas. During my time i lost my only brother who was older than me. God only knows the pain i went through during that time. By the grace of God i was able to attend my brother&#039;s funeral. The one thing that really tore me up was seeing my mom hanging over my brother&#039;s casket. Thank you Merle for taking time out of your schedule to write me a letter while i was locked up. Getting your letter was the best day in my life. I have always been a big fan of yours. You are the greatest song writer and singer of all time. Hopefully you can call me. Take care and God Bless you and your family</description>

		<description>Dear Merle,

NEVER BEFORE AND NEVER AGAIN...Aside from our friendship, you have the finest  voice, you are the greatest song writer and the most talented musician in the history of country music.  NOW you have Teresa and you both have a family of gold to match your talent.  People save their money for a year to take the whole family to a Merle Haggard concert...and rightfully so.  Sylvia and I listen to you for hours at a time from your first recording to today...YOU WILL ALWAYS BE NUMBER 1. Here&#039;s to another 16 years, God Bless you both and your beautiful family.
Love Bob and Sylvia</description>

		<description>Hey Merle and Theresa;
Jeff Levingston here, I wish you both a long marriage and both successful careers. I&#039;ve been out to the Kern River home several times while you were living there. I worked for Blackies Pumping Service (kinda like Andy Gump) back in the &#039;70&#039;s. We were at your home quite often. My wife, the kids, and I are living in Missouri now. We have been here for two years.I sure do miss Bakersfield thou, and all the country music, like Steve and Jeff in the mornings at KUZZ. I&#039;m sure seven sisters and beer can hills miss you too! I was in the audience for the recording of &quot;Beer Can Hill&quot;. Congratulations on sixteen years! Keep up the greatest music from the greatest artist there ever was. Merle, you and Theresa come on down to Branson!</description>

		<description>Saw you last night at the Mondavi Center in Davis, CA and loved every minute of your show.  Just wish it could have been longer.  Love your music Merle and see you every chance I get.  Have most of your music whether on LP, cassette or CD&#039;s.  Saw you in VA in a State Park with Conway Twitty many moons ago Mere and have loved you ever since.  Keep on writing and recording and I&#039;ll keep on supporting and enjoying your music.  I also share the same year of your birth Merle and we&#039;re not getting older, just better.  LOL  Vacaville, CA</description>

		<description>To Merle and Theresa:  Congratulations on your 16 years of marriage.  I am a life-long fan, and have been listening to Merle&#039;s music since the beginning.  Just read the Rolling Stone article also--you get better every year.

Again, happy wedding anniversary--your relationship is what great songs and poems are written about.  You are soulmates and I wish you many more years of happiness.

Glad to hear about your upcoming tour--checking  East Coast dates now!

Take Care</description>

		<description>Dear Teresa and Merle:

                                         Congratulations on your 16th wedding anniversary. Teresa, you must be one heck of a woman to put up with that scoundrel all these years! No, I&#039;m just kidding. Hag&#039;s the greatest guy in the world, and you&#039;re both very lucky to have each other. Merle, more than you, Teresa. I think you&#039;ve help keep him well and going strong since you&#039;ve been with him. I&#039;m not so sure we&#039;d still have the greatest Country singer in the world still with us if it wasn&#039;t for you.  Have one on me, whatever it is!!</description>

		<description>G&#039;day Merle and Theresa,
 Greetings and congratulations from the Kimberley area in Outback Northwest Australia. I am flying to California next week to catch your concert on 1st October at the Arlington in Santa Barbara. I have a music shop in Derby, 200km north of Broome, and we play and sell lots of Merle Haggard music. Our customers are mainly Aboriginal people, and I thought you might like to know that you have a very strong and loyal fanbase in this remote area of Australia, one of the strongholds of country music in this country. They especially love &quot;Sing me back home&quot;. If you care to give out a hello at the concert to all the ringers, jackaroos, jillaroos and cowboys from the Kimberley in Oz, I would be happy to let them know when I get home. Looking forward very much to the concert
Kindest regards to you both</description>

		<description>Howdy Merle and Theresa, Thank you folks for bringing so much happiness and enjoyment to millions of listeners throughout the world. Merle, you are Hank Williams, Ernest Tubb, Lefty Frizzell, Marty Robbins, Johnny Cash, Bob Wills and Jimmie Rodgers all rolled into one unique package. I started buying your records about 45 years ago, and unless I&#039;ve lost count, I have them all.  And my friend, if it comes to the day that you decide to
&quot; Kick out the Footlights&quot;  for good, then for me and music, the &quot;Good times are really  over for good&quot;

HAPPY SIXTEEN FOR TWO &#039;&#039;&#039; TRULY WONDERFUL&#039;&#039; AMERICANS</description>

		<description>May you have many more years together. Merle I&#039;m so glad you&#039;re doing o.k. after your surgery. Nothing like the power of prayers.
Theresa just keep on taking good care of Hag and you&#039;ll will be around for ever.
Merle LOVE your music listen to it all the time on Rhapodsy.com. Yes I pay to listen to your music because I love it so much. So many songs brings back memories of my childhood. Also born in Oklahoma, so I know what the cotton fields are like. Been there and done that too many times.
Well Merle I&#039;m older than you are. I&#039;m 80 now going on 50 lol
Take care of each other.
Laura in Sacramento,Ca.</description>

		<description>I wish you two the very best and many more years. I used to be the house piano player at Texas Barrel House in Bakersfield 1975. I really enjoyed working with Norm, Biff, Mark, Roy, Don when you were off the road during the summer. I was the one Tex fired and then rehired because I wouldn&#039;t shave off my beard.</description>

		<description>Merle, I wish you &amp; I could turn back the time and be on The Kern River recording like we both did together back in 1969 just before you recorded Okie From Muskoee at Capitol Records in Hollywood. I was there getting my picture taken with you for a flier to have your&#039;s and mine picture on it so you could introducer me to all the DJ&#039;s when you were out on the road to play my Country Heart Record I recorded with you and The Strangers in your studio. Roy Nichols,Norm Hamlet,Jerry Ward, Eddie Burris &amp; George French were all playing on my record. It was heavy !!!! Was good to see you again in Evansville last March the 6th,2009. Will be seeing you again in Wabash at The Honeywell Center September 23rd. My steel guitar man Steve Drake from Bloomington,Indiana wants to meet you and Norm. Dennis Adkins whom you met back in 1973 that you took to Nashville that wrote the song &quot;Ace In The Hole&quot; that George Srait recorded still lives out on Hwy#46 at Bloomington.We all wish you and Thresea both many,many more yrs together Ole Buddie. By the way lets not talk music but talk about our health like we did back in March when I told you I had a lobe taken off my right lung like you did smoking them stud&#039;s (CAMEL&#039;S) FOR 60 YRS.I&#039;m 78 now Merle and still playing music.See you back again real soon. God Bless the Haggard family out there on the busy highways and keep them safe and out of Harm&#039;s Way&#039;s!!!!</description>
