Does anyone know where I can heare the songs by John's father Freddie Lennon? I want to hear them.

You can listen to Freddie Lennon's two songs - That's My Life (My Love And My Home) and the B-side, The Next Time You Feel Important - here:

They're interesting to listen to, but I can see why John was embarrassed.

John's Uncle Charlie also recorded a song, titled "Ships Of The Mersey" but I can't remember where I heard that one.

What did you think?

Well I thought the second one was pretty bad, the first one was better but yeah, I can see why john thought it was embarrasing. His voice sounds a bit like johns though doesn't it?

Yeah, he does sound like John, though I think he has a stronger Liverpool accent.

In Cynthia's book she said Julian loved Freddie's songs and kept asking them to put granddad's records on. I thought that was sweet.

Yes, so did I.

I heard That's My Life on Petecasts. Freddie had the same voice as John but he couldn't sing at all. I can see why John was embarassed. I think it's silly how Julian liked his Grandpa's songs and kept playing the record.

I didn't even know that John's dad recorded any songs.
