Miriam K. Center, a native of Savannah, has written a one-woman tour de force based on the life and times of John Herndon "Johnny" Mercer, popular American songwriter and singer. Through the eyes of one of Mercer’s longtime friends and confidantes, we learn about Johnny’s relationships, his private life, his music and his songs. We share his love of Savannah interlaced with the town’s history and lore. We experience some of his most popular songs like “Come Rain or Come Shine,” “The Days of Wine and Roses,” “Moon River,” “That Old Black Magic,” “Accentuate The Positive,” and “Skylark.” The story is told through live flashbacks, videos, headlines, news articles and enchanting songs and dances.
