"I Sang It Down The Phone Line:" The Story Of "Ferry Cross The Mersey"

Came across this while looking for something else. It's the great story behind one of my favorite oldies, "Ferry Cross The Mersey" by one of my favorite 60s groups, Gerry & The Pacemakers. I love the story of how the opening chords occurred to Gerry Marsden while he was out on a date and he was so afraid he'd forget them that he called his mother to make sure they were recorded somewhere. 

Still a great tune.

Nice story. "Ferry Cross The Mersey" is a haunting song that gives me a longing to be there.
