We have 300 tickets to sell to the Johnny Mercer Birthday Celebration on
November 19th, 1999 @ 7PM at the Rotunda of the Mighty Eighth Airforce Museum in Pooler
(just outside of Savannah).
Featuring, Gene Fox Orchestra (13 piece w vocal) and Bob Alberti, (Steve and Edie Gorme's
pianists) and the Chris Chandler Trio and quite possibly...a
special female guest piano player that knows a few Johnny songs.I can't promise her due to
her health...so we say... and special guests.
The tickets are only $25 per person and include the
munchies and the
entertainment. A cash bar is also available.
The Friends of Johnny Mercer, Inc. will
use the money to boost the scholarship fund for young musicians in Savannah schools. Jeff
Rayno is the President of the group.
