Life is short, art is long. That was the pearl of wisdom imparted by Tommy, our hop-on hop-off tour guide in Liverpool. It definitely applied to Liverpool’s most iconic celebrities; the city is fiercely proud of its Beatles heritage.
This is the only tour I’ve been on that covered all the Beatles classics. Tommy kicked things off with a rendition of She’s Got a Ticket To Ride. Then, each song correlated to a spot we were visiting. Penny Lane. Strawberry Fields. Where they lived. Where they wrote. Where they played. The best part was Tommy’s exuberant performances. Here are a few. I think the Beatles would be proud.
When I said to Tommy that he represented his city well, he proclaimed, “This city runs through my blood!” So what better person to represent England in the Faces of the World Gallery?
