We are happy to offer this EARLY Merle Haggard original cardboard poster to the collecting community for the first time in our auction. This was produced for an appearance at the McElroy Auditorium in Iowa during 1965. The late great Merle Haggard had just accomplished his first national top-10 record with "(My Friends Are Gonna Be) Strangers " written by Liz Anderson - the mother of singer Lynn Anderson - and his incredible career was launched!
