About Christy Merry
The mosquito plague has passed.
The recording studio equipment has arrived.

has performed with:

Thursday James in Chicago ('96-'97), lead singer & songwriter

Old Souls in Hollywood ('04-'05), part of duo lead

Rick Beerhorst in NYC (late '05)

For the poetry-types, or snoopy people, there is another me on Shoutlife, posing as a poet - she has interests (you may have noted I have none) and... well, just see #1 in my top 12 if you're interested.

Without further ado, then, here is a video by Plumb
