I bet you’ve all seen or heard of mystery man “Merton” who actually made Chatroulette’s existence something to actually take interest in (at least for a few minutes).  He interacted with strangers by playing the piano, improvising his lyrics based on the stranger’s looks and actions.  After this hilarious video made its rounds on the Internet, many started to believe “Merton” was actually musican Ben Folds.  A source close to Folds denied this rumor.  Fortunately Folds is a funny man at heart and decided to take hold of this opportunity.  And so we get the video you see above: Ben Folds performing an “ode to Merton,” hoodie and all, in front of a live audience during a stop on his tour.
