During that time I underwent a treachiotomy. I couldn't use my voice for several weeks. I have been slowly recovering. During my illness I received many phone calls, cards and well wishes from my SingSnap friends. I want to thank all of you for your caring thoughts and kindness. Merle Haggard is my all-time favorite Recording Artist.

TILL THE END (OLD GUITAR)
BY A. Ratliff Sep, 16 2009
Like A Fool I'm Always Late
No sleep again tonight
Like A True Friend You Just Wait
Till I Think the time is right
I Saw You In The Corner
You Looked So All Alone
Been Awhile Since I Touched You
Cause I'm Hardly Ever Home
__________CHORUS__________
But You're Always Right Here For Me
And You Know Where I've Been
This Time I Swear To You
I Won't Leave You Again
I Don't Hear You Complain
I Guess That's Why We're Friends
Anyway Just Let Me Say
We'll Be Friends Till The End
__________END CHORUS__________
Then I Gently Caress You
My Fingers Touch Those Strings
We've Waited For This Moment
So We Could Play Again
Welcome Back To My World
I've Missed My Old Guitar
I Gave Up A While Ago
On Being A Singing Star
REPEAT CHORUS
...
You Have Hung Around My Neck
And Rested On My Knee
I Have Never Seen You Mad
And You Can't Even See
I Never Want To Change You
Your'e Perfect The Way You Are
You've Been My Source Of Comfort
And I Love You Old Guitar
REPEAT CHORUS
...END...
Honky Tonk Star
