Good morning Savannah! and Good night Johnny Mercer!

Momentos of our life in the south (10/24/2023)

by Y. Y. D

If you are afraid of heights, the entrance of Savannh, Talmadge Memorial Bridge, would intimedate you from one mile away. You can see a bridge curving high over the Savannah River like a feather flying in the sky. Our friend Mark, who was an airplane pilot, would feel dizzy and refuse to drive through it. I have to close my eyes and keep praying everytime we approach the bridge.

We arrived around 7:00am and watched the sunrise while walking along the River bund. Savannh has a mysterious power to take visitors back to the 1700s and the 1800s because, in a lot of ways, it is what it was: the port, the merchant, the art, the sentiments and the sophisticated being.

Good morning, Savannah, was the sun rising the same in 1733?

The bridge in the sunrise pink lights:

The Atlantic ocean going cargo ship:

We have all been amazed by 1001 night Arabian folktales, but if only we knew Savannaiens.

Every corner of savannah has its legends. where shall i start? yesterday i just went to the Jazzcorner and our island symphony singer just chose "Days of Wine and Roses", lets go with Johnny Mercer.

He is from a legendary family. However his Dad lost all family money by over-invested in Florida real estate(can anybody relate to this today?). Johnny Mercer was on his own when 17, like a rolling stone. The rest is history.

I took a picture of the family cemetary of Johnny Mercer. names of his award wining songs are written on the sides of the white marble bench.

Once in a while, his friends come to visit him, clean the marbles and party.

So let's sing: "moon river", "the days of wine and roses".

Life is a feast but there is always a time we have to say good bye.

but i rather say good night ! 

when the sun rise again, Savannah will be rising and we will be singing Johnny Mercer.
