As I had a crew cut and construction boots. I fitted into both places.<BR/><BR/>Jim Nagel had a hotel room just off the Train Station whilst I slept out on the street.<BR/>I went walking up and down Lime <BR/>Street in the middle of the night to see if I could find a lovely Maggie May to take me home for the night." But I got no takers. Not even a come on the the Whores on 7th avenue" I know the song comes from Paul Simon and is in New York.<BR/><BR/>I enjoyed my stay in Liverpool.

I must do a post about those days.<BR/>Although the Beatles share the hall of Fame, with many other entertainers from Liverpool, sadly, there are many more fine and distinguished people who barely get a mention.<BR/>The media seem to be 'hell bent' on showing the negative side of the City, instead of showing the positive aspects!<BR/><BR/>Hope you are well and are getting over the loss of your 'blogging buddy' Puss.<BR/>My cat Chloe sits as my side quite often when I'm blogging....at present though she's zzzzzzng on her bed, or rather, my bed!<BR/><BR/><BR/>Di.xxTrubeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15297883125832619352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5205754021811558638.post-17432202908001823922008-12-03T18:46:00.000-08:002008-12-03T18:46:00.000-08:00Of course Liverpool is wonderful!
