(Interview continued)
RPA: Is there anyone in particular you'dÊ like to make a guitar for?
Rick: Yeah, Merle Haggard
[Note: Rick has made a Guitar for Merle Haggard}.
PRA: Now he's a regular guy!
Rick: I would tend to think that he probably is.
RPA: What would you do if Merle Haggard called you to have a guitar built?
Rick: I'd ask him to come out to the shop, we'd get the boat ready and go fishing.Ê Smoke some cigarettes, drink some coffee and if I'm lucky, sing a little "Momma Tried".Ê What I'd really like to sing with Merle is "Take a lot of Pride" but I'm not sure I could actually handle that.
RPA: If we run across Merle should we tell him?
Rick: You go right ahead.
