I was like phew!
My first big concert was Merle Haggard and the Strangers, she said in a statement.
We all looked up to Merle Haggard.
And it was a thrill in my life when I got to work with him on the road.
We won state in 4-H club Share of the Fun contest singing Okie from Muskogee.'
Merle has been a part of my family for a long time, McEntire concluded.
He inspired me so much.
