Mar 31, 1928 Lefty Frizzell is born in Corsicana, Texas. He influences Merle Haggard, Keith Whitley and Randy Travis through such hits as "If You've Got The Money I've Got The Time," "I Love You A Thousand Ways," "The Long Black Veil" and "Always Late (With Your Kisses)" on his way to the Country Music Hall of Fame https://keepinittruecountry.com/ | When The Cowboy Sings And Country Music One

Press play to hear one of my favorite Merle Haggard songs 💙Tell me yours 🙂 Merle pretty much idolized uncle Lefty and said "The influence Lefty Frizzell had on Country Music and me is not even measurable."

This festival celebrates Merle's enduring influence and the rich tapestry of country music history. Gates
