Subject: RE: Tommy Steele's E Rigby statue
hi michael

Interesting. I like the idea of your Google Travels.

I have seen the statue en site in Liverpool several times.
I like it as a piece of art.
I have always thought the figure depicted one of " all the lonely people" that Eleanor sees from the window in the song.

But maybe you are right because it surely does not present a picture of the whistful and emotive mood engendered by the song.

PS I actually saw Tommy Steele more years ago than I care to remember when he sang.....Singing The Blues, I've Got a Handful of Songs to Sing You and Water Water Everywhere among many others. He had a band The Steelemen ??? but the guitar solos did not appear to me to be played by any of the musicians on the stage.

Oh happy days !!!
