Good news from the "Hag Camp"
We are currently working on transfering all of Merle's video and concert archives to a digital format so we can make it available to you for download, and let me tell there is some really cool stuff that no-one has ever seen before!!, Around December we are going to try and make available the shows from the upcoming tour for you all to purchase and download.
A major note for your calender is that Merle will be broadcasting a live webcast show from his ranch in Redding on November 11th at 4pm pst. This is an idea that Merle has been wanting to do for a while and the technology is now available for us to do it. Merle is very excited about talking with you the fans about anything that you've got on your mind, an email will be sent out about a week before the show that will include an 800 number that is a direct line to Merle that will only be available during the show. The show will consit of Merle and the Strangers taking live requests and performing them, stortyelling from the past, views on news and currnet affairs, and we are in the process of lining up some really special guests to call in and to visit. This is a new idea that has a lot of potential and we really need you the fans to get involved, spread the word and get as many people to to tune in as possible.
* More Hag news: Chicago Wind , Merle Haggard's new album with producer Jimmy Bowen, will be released on Oct. 25 by Capitol Nashville.
