Another photo I took in 1978. #MerleHaggard #HolidayInn #CoffeeShop #DentonTX
@curtisysmith this is great 👍🏼
@TimeCycles Thanks! Loving what I’ve seen of your work
@curtisysmith btw KUZU is on the Radio Garden app in case you weren’t aware
@curtisysmith my app won’t let me see this photo - maybe removed? I’d like to see it. He was surely a treasure in country music.
@cobalt123 Maybe you can see it in this reply?
@curtisysmith oh! I love this! Did you just happen to be there and got the shot without being arranged?
@cobalt123 My high school newspaper got a tip that Merle had to stop overnight due to an ice storm at the local Holiday Inn, from the hotel manager. We got there and they rang his room. He was a bit grumpy, as he’d only slept a couple of hours, but agreed to meet us in the coffee shop, if we’d give him 30 minutes to shower and get ready. He wasn’t happy about it but was very polite to us kids who didn’t really know anything about him
