Beatles Anthology page 2 by ric gustafson
My name is John Lennon.
At Quarry Bank grammar school, I tried to be tough. I got into fights a lot. At 12, I thought I was a genius. I played the guitar, I painted and I wrote poetry. I stayed away from Teddy Boys even though I dressed like them. I act like a tough guy even though I'm not.
We took in students so Aunt Mimi could keep the house. Sometimes I would go visit my mother. Her new husband was Robert Dykins.
Before rock and roll. I listened to folk, blues and country western. I loved listening to Elvis Presley, Eddie Cochran, Gene Vincent and Little Richard..
About 1955, a music craze started. It was called skiffle. My first guitar was a cheap one. Lonnie Donegan started skiffle. I wanted to start my own skiffle group. Because I went to Quarry Bank school, I named my group the Quarry Men.
