Slideshow: Merle Haggard in Linden, Texas

linden.jpgGot a charming, charming story and photos for you from the far East Texas town of Linden, just north of Jefferson.

Staff writer Michael "Renaissance reporter" Granberry covers the folk and Texas coffeehouse music scene (in addition to visual arts, the Jenna Bush wedding and everything else in between). Over the weekend, he and DMN photographer Guy Reynolds caught the Merle Haggard concert at the tiny Music City Texas Theater.

Who was the fan who likely traveled the farthest to see Merle in this lil' hamlet? Linden native Don Henley. Yes, that Don Henley. Best quote from a town resident about scoring Merle Haggard? "t's like Stonehenge has come to Linden."

Great story, great photos. Check them out.

My mother is 76 years old and lives in Illinois. I live in Dallas Texas. Whenever she would come to Dallas I would plan it when Merle was at Billy Bobs when will he be in Dallas
