Merle was heavily influenced by my uncle Lefty, so anyone with the name Frizzell he treated as family. I was really honored to get to be on an album he was on which was very full circle for me having snuck up onto his bus as a kid when mom (Shelly West) and uncle David had shows with him. (Watercolor portrait behind me is one I did of him awhile back)

This one is for you Merle 💙
