Liverpool Tales from the Mersey Mouth - A book by John Williams

"This is a wonderful collection of writings by John Williams. While it isn't specifically about the Beatles, they are clearly a part of the story, along with the very fiber and fabric of the city that influenced him and them as well. The pieces are short, well written and filled with a delicious sense of humor that shines in the titles as well as the essays." Jan Perry, Cincinnati Post
"John Williams writes in the language of Liverpool, a Scouse scribe who brings to life the people and places, inner thoughts and outer images, the vigour and vitality and essentially, the iron humour of a unique city." Bill Harry, founder of Mersey Beat

Ahoy John,

Great stories mate and quite the chuckle. I was at the Vindi in Feb-Apr 66 (Deck) so just about turned the lights off.

You didn't mention which year you were there and how come you never saw hide nor hair of a lifeboat?

I hail from Hull, Yorks and have always liked the Scousers a great bunch of lads and superb humour.

Hey why not check out our website here in Canada and also the Vindi H.Q. site, you might find some of the lads you sailed with.

Look forward to reading lots more of your stuff. Cheers mate. John, Co-founder CANADA-USA Branch of the T.S.V.A.

I've been searching for the Pickaninny Twins. My neighbor who will 80 talks about this book all the time. Her husband did find the book a few years ago in a library in Utah. They did make copies of the book. What would the new name be? Or you just joking?

Hiya! I was born and raised in Birkenhead and have lived in a few countries around the world. I must admit that I never tire reading your stories about the old days and can relate to a lot of them.

I loved the story about your grandad making breakfast as that's exactly what me mum used to do for us. The cornflakes and hot milk and the coal fire.

This really is a great site and whenever I'm feeling homesick I'll be coming back to get my dose of the real world.

Cheers Joey
