Mo Pitney has a very high regard for the Merle Haggard, which is on full display in this exuberant acoustic performance of “I Met Merle Haggard Today.” Taking a page from his personal journals, Pitney notes the date and exact time of day he met Haggard. The story and the song go like this: On February 4th, 2013, Pitney and a pal attend a taping of The Marty Stuart Show at NorthStar Studios just north of downtown Nashville. At 4:45 p.m.
