Good on yer. You obviously know your stuff. Good to see Liverpool folk keeping the historic connection 'live.'
Apple Scruff Carol Bedford, a Texan, visited Liverpool in 1969 and saw a city neglecting its musical roots - - "left to the ghosts" - - the way Memphis did in 1969, "not considered serious enough perhaps to be taken, cherished and preserved."
4 years later the Cavern was bulldozed.
So, yes, good on you.
Another nice detail from Carol Bedford's Liverpool '69 visit: Liverpool housewives on the bus:
"The minute they saw the map we were carrying they all offered to give us directions... Jill who came from Birmingham commented that people were friendlier the further North you went in the county."
