Heaven's Choir

Heaven's choir gained another member yesterday in Merle Haggard.

That choir is sounding sweeter every day it seems, as country music has lost quite a few legendary singers over the last 3 years - George Jones, Lynn Anderson, Jim Ed Brown, Sonny James... just to name a few. This is the music I grew up listening to, spending hours every weekend listening to the radio with my grandparents, and having the awesome opportunity as a young lad to see these legends perform in person, shake their hands, get their autographs...  So each time another passes beyond the veil, it is a sad time indeed. Not so much that I am sad that they are gone, but sad that another piece of my childhood has been taken away. I will always have the memories though, the music lives on, and Heaven's choir does indeed get sweeter and sweeter!
