Merle has done the occasional interview. One with the BBC World Service aired in 2010. Merle goes on at the 9 min., 30 sec. mark.
The first-and-only Nashville country artist to sing about derivatives, mortgage-backed securities, and physics.
You can hear and see Merle singing his songs, such as "Inflation or Deflation?" and "The Greek Debt Song," here.
Please do not confuse Merle with the great Merle Haggard. Aside from spelling their names differently, they do not even sing about the same things, for the most part.
Merle reads all of his emails, and enjoys hearing from listeners. You may send him an email at this address: merlehazard@gmail.com.
If you would like an email when Merle releases the next song, email him at the above address, and put "Subscribe" in the subject. Merle will keep your email address private, and sends only a handful of emails yearly.
