People strolling along Ellis Square sometimes do a double-take when crossing paths with Savannah’s own Johnny Mercer. Mercer, a prolific songwriter and award winner, is just hanging out on the Square checking out his newspaper. I’ve heard more than a handful of folks say, “excuse me” when they bump into him, especially in the evening after a beer or two. Once they figure out that he’s not real, they sidle up for a photo opp. Johnny’s good natured about it. He always has time for picture-taking.
