"We don't smoke marijuana in Muskogee...." 
The co-writer of that song, Roy 'Eddie' Burris, died this week in Tulsa at the ripe old age of 70. That song was made famous by Merle Haggard in 1969. Burris was the drummer in Haggard's band. Long time ago. The story of Burris' passing was coming across the radio about the same time I saw this billboard on the way into OKC this morning. Wonder what ol' Roy and Merle would think of things today....
