...... well, I just finished watching a Clint Eastwood production celebrating the life of Mr. Johnny Mercer - who, had he been alive today, would have turned 100 years old this month........
...... and since I've always been a fan of Mr. Mercer (and since I can't think of anything else to post about tonight and am quite tired), I figure that this is as good a time as any to re-introduce you guys to one of my favorite Mercer songs as done by an interesting British fellow........
.... I do hope that you enjoy........ oh, and be sure to charge your glasses with your favorite tipple before clicking...... this one is worth the wait.......
...... here's Robbie Williams using Sinatra's old piano player to sing a Mercer classic........
..... god, how I love it.....
I have visited the grave of Mr. Mercer in the Bonaventure Cemetery in Savannah GA. A fascinating place made even more famous by the movie MIDNIGHT IN THE GARDEN OF GOOD AND EVIL. Lot of history there.

You do know that Georgia was a neighbor of Johnny Mercer. Mr Mercer would give Ga's dad birdseed to feed the birds when he wasn't there. This was before they treated the hemp seeds to prevent there growth. Needless to say there was wild marijuana on Burnside Island.
