A 30 minute programme on the Rock Isalnd Line - a mighty fine line is available at BBC - BBC Radio 4 Programmes - The Rock Island Line I understand that US users may not be able to get to the iPlayer version of the programme. The programme starts with Lonnie Donegan's recording of The Rock Island tracing the origins of The Rock Island Line song including John Lennon's knowledge of the song, the singing of it in prisons of the Southern American states to a ride on the railroad itself. The programme includes a brand new recording of The Rock Island Line featuring The Quarrymen and Pete Donegan. Enjoy. Peter Peter Harris N Scale Kits N Scale Kits
Worked OK for me. Interesting to know how the RI is immortalized, overseas and so many years later. Boxcab E50
