He doesn't look like paul. I read about him in a john lennon book.

Liverpool's skyline has changed immeasurably since the film was taken. Look:

@boliboy2299

MAC is Scots, Mc is Irish. Although there are m,any Mc's in Scotland.

He sounds more like George than Paul.

I like the part where Mike says that Little Richard fancied him. Its cute.

And I judge this to be a fabulous video - and the pictures are simply GREAT.

Thanks MIke. I'd like to see a lot more of you and your life story.

Wow... the Mike Mccartney part looks so recent-- of course with a 50s-60s sensibility to it-- but the newscaster on the end shocked me, looking straight outta the 80s!

The Clarence Dock Power station chimney stacks are still there on the clip. They were demolished in the late 1980s. Also the Brunswick Dock grain silo is still there which was demolished around 1985.

Great photos. Even special photos of Little Richard.

Fresh insight and terrific Post - thank you!

I have the same birthday as him.

This is great. This fresh and new to me. Thanks Mike and Jane.
