Here’s Connie Smith in 1974 singing Louisiana Man on the TV show Pop Goes the Country. Did you catch it’s Merle Haggard playing fiddle alongside Johnny Gimble? It’s nice to see that trio together. When Connie joined the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2012, she asked Merle to induct her. Johnny Gimble was one of the most important and impactful fiddlers in western swing and beyond. When Johnny was posthumously invited to join in 2018, Connie was given the honor of officially inducting him. | Conni
