1. That's Mersey ... as in the River Mersey.

3. I knew that , but wasn't paying attention, thanks for calling me on it.

I was using voice instead of typing it out.

2. Many years ago, I took a ferry boat from Liverpool to Dublin.

I literally was on a ferry in the Mersey. Some of us stood as close as we could to the ship's prow and sang that song. Yes, we'd been drinking, but it was so damned appropriate. Good times.

4. Yes that was appropriate. 😊

7. Sounds like it!

OY how I loved that song! Still do! Taught myself how to play it on my guitar. It wasn’t exactly like the original but I was rather proud of it nonetheless!

8. I LOVE this song!

And his voice! My heart belonged to the Beatles back then, but there was a little piece of it reserved for Gerry Marsden. God, I loved the British Invasion!

9. And his accent

I would play this record every night.
