jeffcrom Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 So long to a great American musician. I'm glad I got to hear him a couple of times - once while Merle was still alive, and once later. Some years back, I heard a really touching radio interview with Doc. Apparently he always felt somewhat guilty about the course of Merle's life - Merle just wanted to be a farmer, maybe playing on his porch in the evenings, but Doc felt that he needed Merle with him on the road, for both musical and logistical reasons. After Merle's death, Doc wished he had let Merle be the farmer he wanted to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
