Subject: RE: Shanties rejected by Liverpool
Here's another thought. Prince Charles was recently was the guest of honor at the reopening of Liverpool's magnificent - and I MEAN magnificent - St George's Hall. Now, where is this fantastic building situated? On Lime Street, home of "Maggie May", another well-known Liverpool folk song recorded by a host of performers from the Spinners to that famous beat combo, The Beatles. Of course, it occurs to me that Liverpool's current city fathers may not like to be reminded of the days when prostitutes walked up and down Lime Street and Paradise Street!
