The Pelican’s Perch

In case you haven’t seen this video.  Many people confused this guy, Merton, with Ben Folds.  He does look quite a bit like him, has piano chops, and even sounds like him, but Ben Folds came out and said it wasn’t him.  But being the awesome guy that Folds is, he played a live chatroulette tribute to Merton during a Charlottetown show recently.

This is Merton

This is Ben Folds’ tribute

I doubt any of these people knew who Ben Folds was, but imagine randomly getting on chatroulette and after one weird person after another, you randomly get Ben Folds during one of his shows.  That would be priceless.
