Merle, 87

Merle grew up in Canada on a farm, spending his youth playing baseball, milking cows, playing guitar and spending time with friends. He’s proud of having come to Australia to perform country music in clubs and enjoyed travelling around the country during those years. Merle describes himself as a humanist and enjoys being social and connecting with others. He still laughs about one dream he never fulfilled - buying a Rolls-Royce.
