Merle Haggard had a song called "Daddy Frank The Guitar Man" Does anyone know who the song was written about?

Answer 1

I don't know who it was written about but daddy frank was blind and the mama was death if that helps ya any

Answer 2

Daddy Frank (The Guitar Man)," a tale about a traveling family band with a blind father and a deaf mother who "read our lips and helped the family sing," a story that Haggard says explains itself but only gets more mystifying with each listen. Some could also argue that his tribute to his recently deceased Grandmother, "Grandma Harp," is also a little corny, but it gets through on its heart
